The first phase of NFL's voluntary offseason program runs for two weeks and is limited to meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation only.
For the #NYGiants, this is the first step ushering in the second Aaron Wellman era with Frank Piraino coming aboard as the team's new director of strength and conditioning.

The biggest development today would be Darren Waller attending, but his recent comments suggest that won’t be the case as he continues to contemplate retirement.
@DDuggan21
Giants offseason program starts today. This stage is voluntary, but the Giants put a heavy emphasis on attendance through workout bonuses. Half the teams don’t really use workout bonuses, but 27 Giants have them, ranging from $20K to $500K. Giants typically require players to attend 84% of the entire offseason program and 100% of OTAs/minicamp to earn the bonuses. Full list of workout bonuses:
Aaron Robinson is in the house. He won a starting job in Wink and Daboll's first year and I'm hoping he does again.

So if he retires can the NYG recoup some funds?
Same cap hit if they cut him or he retires.
@art_stapleton
New #NYGiants DC Shane Bowen had his first defensive meeting today, per Daboll.
New STC Michael Ghobrial will have his first special teams meeting tomorrow, with Daboll saying Ghobrial wanted to have the entire team present.
Same cap hit if they cut him or he retires.
CUT him... I suspect he is waiting on Gmen and what they do at QB.. Honestly, let him go.. We are eating the cost no matter what. I have zero interest in keeping him..
You think he wants to play with a Rookie?
Or, do you think he retires if he they draft a QB?
I don't think this has anything to do with it.
He is always hurt. I don't think his heart is into it anymore.
Of course.
But, he would rather play with an unknown rookie?
I don't think that's it.

Asked #Giants OC Mike Kafka why he thought #Seahawks thought he would be interested in their OC job and making a lateral move after interviewing him for head coach, he quipped "I must've done a good job."
He says he was not looking for a lateral move. "I'm here."

#Giants #Kafka -most proud of how the team responded over the second half of last season....with all the things that happened, the guys dug down team and pulled out some wins
