Holy s***, when you look at it on paper this team is YOUNG. Youngest I can remember in my 35+ years that I can recall. Is any other Giants team in recent memory even close?
team in the NFL at the time. They started that towards the end of the Reeves' tenure when they started plugging in Strahan, Hamilton, Armstead, Sehorn, etc.
This was the directive DG received from ownership when he was hired.
The 'directive' was to get this team winning again.
1. It's not as bad when you include 2017, which was Reese's final year. That adds Tomlinson, Rosas, Engram, Wheeler, Ellison, and Gallman to the mix. So about 12 out of 90 are holders (though at least 10 of those 12 are locks for the final 53).
2. DG initially kept quite a few talented players that he ultimately moved (or let go) for various reasons: Snacks, Collins, Apple, Vernon, OBJ, etc.
So it's not like the team was completely barren. Just not built the way DG/Shurmur felt it should be. Time will tell if they're right.
Perkins
Shepard

I know that's 5, that's why there was a question mark. I should have gotten Shepard obviously. Good call on Perkins.

Shepard, omitted from the OP's list, has a near 0% chance of not being here next year.
We are now in year 2 of a 3 year rebuild, they probably wont make the post season again, but the arrow is pointing up.

All are not here next year in camp. Excluding Tomlinson, since he was April 2017

Right, just going off the list OP provided
