New York Giants 2023 Free Agency Scorecard - ( New Window )
I’m surprised Richie James hasn’t  
eric2425ny : 3/31/2023 8:57 am : link
been signed by anyone. Maybe the fumbles on special teams last year? As a receiver he had an admirable season for a player that would typically be signed as a WR4 level.
I’d like to see Moreau resigned  
Hammer : 3/31/2023 9:04 am : link
He played well last year and I think he deserves another year.

I'm a little bit surprised by that one... or another team picking him up. He's a good insurance policy.

That is really the only name on the list that is surprising to me.
It wouldn’t surprise me to see the Giants bring  
eric2425ny : 3/31/2023 9:13 am : link
Moreau back if the draft doesn’t unfold in the way the expect at the CB position.
And it becomes so clear  
Chris684 : 3/31/2023 9:15 am : link
why our run defense was so disastrous last season, wow.

Same thing for our pass receiving options.
There’s a group of vet CBs who can play  
gersh : 3/31/2023 9:20 am : link
Seems clear they are all waiting for the right deal (likely want more than a one year deal)
The Giants got Moreau last year after ARob went down for 1mil.
It’s a game of chicken until the draft. I’m guessing the Giants don’t blink.
Moreau  
bklynGman : 3/31/2023 9:20 am : link
Agreed... He step up in more than a few games..
I think we are at the next stage of UFA  
mort christenson : 3/31/2023 9:22 am : link
You won't see many (if any) signings now as teams wait till after the both the draft and the point where free agents no longer count in the compensatory pick equation.

Moreau  
JoeyBigBlue : 3/31/2023 9:24 am : link
Looked OK because he had a ton of help from MicKinney, shadowing him over the top. Once McKinney got injured, Moreau wasn’t anywhere near as good. He’s an insurance guy ONLY.

He played well early on but he was exposed as time went on.

The Giants draft a cornerback early, we may not see them dip their hands in the FA drawer until later, such as an injury happening.

A Marcus Peters signing makes sense if they have enough left over after the Draft, however.

That's an interesting observation that I never thought about.
I have my fingers crossed one of the top CBs  
bLiTz 2k : 3/31/2023 10:39 am : link
Fall to 25.

It would do wonders for this team to have a very good cost controlled player at the position over the next few years.
James & Moureau are probably trying to get more than VSB$  
Eric on Li : 3/31/2023 10:49 am : link
and they are the types who may get it after the draft when teams miss out on certain positions and need a 1 year stop gap.

the nyg could even be that team. if you think about it, even a rookie in the first or second round probably couldn't be counted on to outproduce what either of them did last year as viable starters at premium positions.

if james was willing to take the deal crowder did i think he'd be back already, though maybe now he'd find the depth chart unappealing and prefer to go elsewhere where he can continue trying to earn himself a better deal for next year.
Moreau and Jefferson  
OntheRoad : 3/31/2023 11:55 am : link

were both good backups.
Landon Collins  
D HOS : 3/31/2023 12:03 pm : link
If there is room on the roster, I wouldn't mind seeing him come back on the minimum deal - like he got for last season? I think he's a good role player and good in the locker room.

Moreau and Collins is who I'd like to eventually have back, if we have room for the depth.
Of those listed  
Jay on the Island : 3/31/2023 12:07 pm : link
I am most surprised by Moreau. He was a very pleasant surprise last season and i expected him to get $5-6 million per season from another team.
...  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 3/31/2023 12:09 pm : link
Yeah, Moreau stands out. I hope he returns, if being 100% honest.
I forgot about X-man  
Matt123 : 3/31/2023 12:26 pm : link
I look forward to a training camp where I don't have to hear "this is his year". Nothing against him, just ready to move on.

Eric?  
Semipro Lineman : 3/31/2023 12:31 pm : link
No, "OMG, here are the guys who started last year for us who haven't been signed yet" self-flagellation this year?

Are you feeling alright?

:-)
Nick Williams?  
HopePhil and Optimistic : 3/31/2023 1:02 pm : link
Could be Plan C if they don’t sign A’Shawn Robinson or draft a DLineman? They seemed to like him till he got hurt.
Signings  
Giants : 3/31/2023 2:01 pm : link
I believe all of these NFL teams feel they may have over paid,on these signings. They now feel they need to sign what FA are left for veteran miminum or for less than they are valued at. It's now a waiting game
Honestly  
Earl the goat : 3/31/2023 2:11 pm : link
Okereke Davis and if they resign Jaylon smith would make a nice LB corps until they can draft a linebacker without other needs being highly proritized
One year deal for Jaylon just like they gave Davis
Having Landon resigned would only give them more depth and speed at the position
Nick Williams  
GrMtWoods : 3/31/2023 2:34 pm : link
If healthy has proven to be an above average
vet minimum journeyman.
Surprised Moreau hasn't been  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 3/31/2023 2:48 pm : link
re-signed. Maybe he thinks he is more valuable than he is.

For ILB, they could draft someone else. Remember they drafted McFadden and Beavers last year.

The front inside could very well be Beavers and Okereke. Davis and Okereke filling in on pass downs.

At times, I trust you guys to come to such revelations on your own.

I thought that he was exposed when Jackson got hurt and he was forced to cover the 1 WR's instead of the 2's and 3's. He is not a #1 CB. But I still think he can be a decent #2 or #3.
James, Williams and Moreau should be signed to the 90-man roster  
Ivan15 : 4/3/2023 8:49 am : link
However, it looks like the signed players total 73. Not counting draftees and UDFAs, I figure the Giants have room for about 75 on the roster as it currently stands.

The Giants probably would only offer these players the vet minimum. Maybe they are looking for something more.

James had one bad game but was otherwise serviceable. The Giants liked what Williams gave them, but his injury and age may be against him. The Giants may be waiting until he has fully recovered. I don’t know what the hangup is on Moreau.
