Guaranteed money paid by Giants for new UDFAs

Dan Duggan @DDuggan21

Guaranteed money for a few of the Giants undrafted free agents, per source:

• OT Marcellus Johnson, Missouri: $170K
• CB Alex Johnson, UCLA: $115K
• Edge Ovie Oghoufo, LSU: $7,500
• WR Ayir Asante, Wyoming: $4K

Important to note that the guarantee amount really only tells you how in demand players were as UDFAs and how much the team wanted to sign them. But these guaranteed figures are nowhere significant enough to tip the scales on who will make the roster.
as posted by Y28... these are the 8 we know of... (unofficial)

2. North Dakota State OL Jake Kubas
3. LSU DE/LB Ovie Oghoufo
4. Oregon DT Casey Rogers
5. UCLA DB Alex Johnson
6. West Florida WR Jon Jiles
7. Wyoming WR Ayir Asante
8. Rutgers Kicker Jude McAtamney

johnson has to beat out nelson

doable.
CB Alex Johnson, looks legit  
SteelGiant : 4/29/2024 9:49 pm : link
I'm actually excited about his game. It would surprise me that 2 seasons from now he has a job and maybe more.

He looks like a zone DB with amazing instincts.

tape I saw, it looked to me that Alex Johnson was playing nickel too. That might be a spot for him as well.
the disparity between what they paid johnson and everyone else  
Eric on Li : 4/29/2024 10:09 pm : link
is significant. if he doesnt make it, he'll actually carry a decent hit so they must feel confident he'll at least make PS.

looks like he didnt play much after transferring but reasonably athletic.





Marcellus

Johnson transferred to Missouri. He was highly regarded at Eastern Michigan, where I believe he played left tackle. I think he played both right tackle and some guard at Missouri, but he only played five games before getting hurt.

"Johnson spent time at right tackle and right guard during the 2023 season at Missouri, but he dealt with an ankle injury that limited him to five games. He spent four seasons at Eastern Michigan, serving as the starting left tackle in two of those campaigns (2021-2022)."

i posted the PFF screenshot above, looks like almost all LT at EMU (2k snaps). he gave up 9 sacks in 2 years as starter so they must see some kind of project worth taking on. at mizzou he hardly played.
Both

Johnsons have a reasonable chance of making the PS. The bottom third of the roster is very bad.
I assumed at 6’4” he was being projected to guard  
Four Aces : 4/29/2024 11:19 pm : link
Looked up his measurables a few days ago.
Hopefully he beats out McKethan. I don’t see it with him.  
Four Aces : 4/29/2024 11:21 pm : link
Feels like a Bobby Johnson selection.
Most likely PS though

That's what I'm thinking sort of, he is ony UDFA dark horse list to make the 53. I think Bowen will have a lot of zone coverage packages and probably likes his instincts and closing speed. He anticipates screens well in his highlights.

I get the feeling Bowen looks for intelligent, closing speed DBs, regardless of corner or safety.

Played guard in one game with Missouri. Played tackle mostly at East Michigan for 4 years.

That should not be too hard. McKethan was horrible when given a chance. Johnson sounds like he has more grit and determination to excel.
