As of mid-June, the overview of NYG free agent activity

summary. Really nice.

I did not know his grandfather was ex Packer great and HOFer, Willie Davis, who was drafted by and played 2 seasons in Cleveland before going to Green Bay.

review.

I counted 36 one-year deals, including for everyone of our FAs. None are guaranteed anything.

Serviceable vet who can add depth and help in a pinch. He could even compete at RT if they wanted to leave Eluemunor at LG if Neal struggles/gets injured.

Seems like a much better option than Ezeudu, Cajuste, or Nelson

Here is an injury update from his agent in late February:

Quote:

Got a really good report today on @Tyrethefuture progression following his surgery from two months ago. Long story short-well ahead of schedule. In a League where competent O-Line play is a commodity-he’s a proven starter that’s going to make immediate impact wherever he lands

That's a lot of churn. The depth is much better than it's been in years. It's Schoen and Daboll's roster now--time to produce.

Shouldn't Dante Miller be added as a UDFA?

Spent money on the OL continuing the focus on that unit. The focus there compared to the scattershot approach of the previous two GMs is impressive. Generated cap space by not signing McKinney and Barkley. Moved that money to the defensive front seven. Got some good value players like Singletary, maybe Herndon or Robinson. The roster is so much better than he inherited though considering he inherited the worst roster in the league that may be a low bar. Seems like we have enough talent to be competitive. Been a long time since that was true.

UDFAs are not included on that list.

Missed that. Thanks!

Thanks Eric! You can learn so much from just staring at that information. Well done!

Wonder if Bredeson just didn't want to come back? He was a valuable/servicable swing OL for only 1 year $3 mil.

His value got talked up a lot, but I didn't think he played very well.

I kind of forgot we signed Allen Robinson already.

finally something with some meat on it...thanks Eric !!!

A mediocre player in the NFL averages almost a million a year.

I have done this scorecard for 24 years. If you want to see previous years, they are all archived here...


New York Giants Free Agency - ( New Window )

I'm sure it's a lot of work keeping tabs on all the "puts and takes". Much appreciated.

Phillips is the unsigned name that jumped out at me. It’s possible he can’t pass a physical, delaying his resigning.

I’m also surprised they resigned Jalen Mayfield, considering what he (didn’t) show on the field.

Understood. The only thing,in retrospect,is Miller truly wasn't a UDFA as the reason the Giants could sign him early was that he wasn't eligible for the draft. So,although he comes in with the Rookie Draft Picks & UDFA's,he really is just an FA!

It's confusing but technically, he's still an undrafted rookie free agent even though he signed before the draft. Weird case.

I appreciate all the work you put in.
