The #Giants have signed Dion Lewis per

@CodyJBenjamin
had this last month as likely to happen per source.
I'm iffy on this one. Would've preferred they draft a RB on Day 3 or UDFA in addition to allowing Gallman to get healthy and serve as the No. 2.

Ideally a rookie does enough to stick, and/or Gallman. But this is a fine depth signing.
Some “fans” are just miserable trolls . It’s really sad.
I like this move because Lewis is a good receiver out of the backfield. I still expect the Giants to draft a RB on day 3.
Do we know what the number is yet? Saw it was a 1 year deal. If it's a small number I have no issue with the signing, not like it's going to be the difference between us making another big FA splash this off-season or not.
The fact Jonathon Stewart got 2 yrs /7 mill still boggles my mind. It was an even worse move because so many of us KNEW it was a terrible signing from Day 1, which is why it made little sense what Gettleman saw in Stewart aside from knowing him personally. It's amazing how much that signing alone hurt DG's credibility with the fans considering how little the $ was (relatively-speaking). It was just that bad.

Gee, I wonder why people would be unhappy. Not like the team has been sub-par for 8 years or anything.
Oh, and 12/19.
Another?
Oh brother. Still have to draft a rb
Dillon. With all the picks they have they can parlay those to move up to get him.
Had almost 900 yards in 2017 season.

I have to say I don't understand the philosophy. And I'm in the pro-Barkley-at-#2-overall camp! Yet I just feel like with RBs moreso than any other position a dirt-cheap late draft pick is more likely to beat out a 30 year old vet. So much of being an effective RB has to do with "fresh legs" as they say. Hell we have FOUR 7th round draft picks to burn. Especially when you already have a decent amount of $ tied up in the RB position, it makes the least sense to sign a 30 year old guy (even at the vet minimum).
Like I said, not gonna make or break the team obviously, I just personally disagree from a philosophical standpoint.

2017? That was 3 year ago, bro.
he can help with blitz pickup, good rb for screens, they'll be looking to him as their 3rd rb.
"use players to come in and do things that they do best"....that seems a familiar phrase, where did I hear that before?
I think he would be the prefect #2.

For sure. Just waiting for actual real holes to be filled like pass rush and OL. Much more important that 3rd string RBs and LBs that can't cover TEs.
some of you guys overreact to everything.
Free agency isn't over and there is still the draft in a few weeks

Fackrell posted 10.5 sacks when Graham was in Green Bay. We have been tied to Clowney. Outside of Conklin the OT’s in Free Agency we’re overpaid. For the price, I would have liked McGovern at C. I still say we should see about flipping a late Day 3 pick to Jacksonville for Linder.

I do agree that for who we have signed, we haven't overpaid; outside of Martinez. I just can't get behind signing yet another LB who can't cover a TE. We've seen enough of that over the past several years.
Golden is still out there and don't know what we have yet w/XMan and Connelly. and maybe the new staff can get more out of Carter?
Like Judge said - you always want those elite guys but sometimes you have to get there thru the um of of all the parts.
And "Is he done" wasn't really a rhetorical question. I'm not sure, I think it's a pretty low risk bet. Is he done -FIIK
doesn't even need to be that high. Heck, they could pick 2 with their 5 picks in the 6th/7th and just hope 1 is good enough to stick. Chris Carson was a 7th a few years ago and Phillip Lindsay was a UDFA.
RB is the 1 position that regular cranks out guys who are good from day 1 outside the top 200.
Dillon. With all the picks they have they can parlay those to move up to get him.
I would love if they can get him

Stop stalking me bro, it’s pathetic.
LOL you triggered? I really got to you huh? Mission accomplished. See ya!
Lewis is a role player. He's primarily a 3rd down receiver. The guy knows how to catch and what's more he can pick up the blitz. Brady is still standing right? He's hopefully low cost and low risk. I had expected both him and Logan Ryan to sign here.
It's probably that there are no OTA's at all and instead 2 weeks are added to training camp of whatever dates where "mandatory".
So especially for 1 year deals, you should want players who have a better chance of hitting the ground running.
While the offense is Garrett I'm sure it will have NE influence to it, especially considering the QB coach is an ex NE coach as well as Judge's background.
he plays hard

Only thing you 'got' is awhole lot of insecurity.
Maybe because Tiki also fumbled in his first few years?!
Gallman did not fumble in college.
We are not comparing Barkley to Gallman as feature backs.
Discuss or laugh, your choice.
Thank you good sir! Some people just like to go through life miserable, it’s really sad. I actually feel bad for him.
I think we already have the best trio on the league, with Barkley, Lewis, and Gallman
