Giants have agreed to terms with DT Rakeem Nunez-Roches, source confirms. A three-year deal, I'm told, but hearing an out after two. Value signing. Looking for upgrade to Justin Ellis
Doubt it was for the vet min, but this is not a player I would sign to a contract that could potentially cancel out a loss in the compensatory pick formula
like a decent depth signing. Basically filling Nick Williams' spot. Looks like between him, Davidson, Anderson and Butler we have rotation guys. Still need to find that third guy to start with Dex and Leo

#Giants fans, Nacho is huge trash talker, popular in locker room. Tough as nails. Good vs run, non factor against the pass. Good depth signing
but Tampa has been one of the leagues best at stopping the run. Interesting that he is just over 300 lbs.
Still think the big get is the DE. This may still come in FA or in the draft with a premium pick. Campbell and draft pick would be a nice get for that third starting DL.

hopefully he'll be better than Shelton and Ellis was in that rotational role. If he doesn't get planted by Kelce with one arm, that's already an upgrade. Still need to get better at LB to keep fixing a glaring weakness against the run.
What are the difference in skills required for stopping the run versus pass blocking/rushing?
Stopping the run: be a fat f***, get in the way.
Pass blocking: have long arms, wave them around.
Seriously, I'd like to be enlightened on this subject.

Now that Gates is gone he can assume the role of camp fight instigator
I hope this signing doesn’t diminish the chances of getting Calais Campbell.
Hoping a guy like Roches can do his thing and spell LW/DL. He was fine in this role for Tampa.
Good? Bad? Thoughts?

A DT who can fog a mirror is pretty much a depth upgrade for us over last season
Doubt it was for the vet min, but this is not a player I would sign to a contract that could potentially cancel out a loss in the compensatory pick formula
Hope it’s Dalvin
Always liked his game, nice DL depth/rotational signing.

And boy do we need that
Always liked his game, nice DL depth/rotational signing.
My recollection of watching play with Bucs this year in few games lines up with it. Seemed disruptive and stout at point of attack in run situations.

I like him. He played well when called upon. That is a good signing hor us and lessens some of DL's playing time load.

But he's still been a capable lineman for a couple years now. Ellis is past whatever prime he was in.

I heard he can kick a hole in the center, sack the QB, and then jet.
ability to stop the run is most important pass rush is LEO and Dex
I do know who he is

I am happy the FA period is a yawner.....the only signing I want that will break bank is for Big Dex
