Although the New York Giants don't have a ton of cap space after re-signing Daniel Jones, extending Dexter Lawrence and franchising Saquon Barkley, they should have enough room to get creative with voidable years if they want to sign a player to a one-year deal. And Risner should be that player. The Giants rotated Nick Gates and Ben Bredeson at left guard last year, but Gates left for the Commanders in free agency. Joshua Ezeudu -- a 2022 third-rounder -- suffered a neck injury last November, leaving the Giants in a vulnerable position at left guard in 2023.
Risner started 62 games over four seasons with the Broncos, and although the 2019 second-round pick wasn't a superstar, he was expected to land a multiyear deal for starter money somewhere in free agency. Instead, the Broncos signed Ben Powers to replace Risner, who hasn't found a market. Risner missed the season finale against the Chiefs with a strained UCL in his elbow, but that injury wouldn't have prevented the 27-year-old from finding a new team.
Instead, he appears to be looking at a limited market of teams who need meaningful help at guard. A one-year deal with the Giants in the $5 million range would make sense for both parties; Brian Daboll's team would get a veteran protecting Jones and security if Ezeudu struggles to return, while Risner would play in a well-regarded offense and earn a shot at a long-term deal after 2023, either with the Giants or elsewhere.

Yup. I do recall that as well. This would make sense.
If you keep going for the quick fix of mediocrity, then all you'll ever have is a barely functioning line. They are aiming higher than that.

In theory I agree. If you are not getting the results it leads to a potential disaster. I agree with most of your thoughts but this OL has been a issue for so long.....

Two or three clean Twists a game can be disastrous.
But if he can also play RT he’d might be worth a contract as I’m unsure about Glowinski and McKethan is an unknown.
As was mentioned he is a high character guy so that is a nice plus.
Just so people understand ...
Right now we have voidable years on:
Leonard Williams
Adoree Jackson
Tyrod Taylor
Graham Gano
Ashawn Robinson
That total comes out to $11,925,002.
Think about this ... we are using almost $12 mil of next year's cap for players that will not be on the team. On top of that, and nobody ever talks about this, none of these players will count towards the comp pick formula. This is not what you want to be doing. If you are the Eagles, fine. Increase your odds of getting a Super Bowl. It is understandable. This should not be our practice moving forward. The bulk of this is not under Schoen's watch. He made a comment last year, I believe, about not wanting to operate like this.
JMS was the 57th overall pick, not the 59th.
There is a reason he is unsigned.
Lets develop the guys we drafted.

And you know this for a fact? I would bet today that Gano and at least one of Williams or Jackson are on the team next year. Do you really think they will let Gano walk? The guy is almost perfect and so reliable. Finding and having a reliable PK is so crucial in this game.
I personally doubt we are interested in a FA G unless its at the Vet minimum.
What is lacking?
There is nothing really said about his performance, his results, his grades….nothing.
Just because he started 4 years with Denver and was a 2nd round pick doesn’t tell me how well he has done in his 4-5 years in the NFL. Until I get that, I’m not interested.

Haha. What are you talking about? Whether they are on the team or not we still have to pay for previous years. Lmfao. Why are you so mad? I'm pointing out facts based on voidable years.

Voidable years don't affect a player's comp status. In other words, if a player's contract is up except for the voidable years, he is considered a free agent not someone who was cut.
But your point still stands. Schoen is borrowing from future years' caps to sign guys this year.

I don't think that's true. I'm not 100% certain, but a contract being voided automatically is different from the player being released from an existing contract. The team has no control over the voiding of the contract. I think it still qualifies for the compensation formula.
I just looked it up. In 2020, they redid what qualifies and what doesn't. This is what I found ...
Now, the new wording was added in 2020. When were the contracts done for Williams and Jackson? Maybe to do count for the comp formula. I am curious about this now to see how their contracts were worded.
