Football Giants sign LB Matthew Adams

‘I’ve never heard of half of these guys and the ones I do know are way past their prime.’

‘Most of these guys never had a prime.’

#NYGiants have signed LB Matthew Adams, who played in 17 games with the Browns last season, mostly on special teams. Core ST guy for Cleveland with 435 snaps on all teams.

miss the old days when our special teams would knock heads.

You got to wonder about the new kickoff rule too and if the Giants are not adjusting to that.

I hope Michael Ghobrial can eventually make our ST "Special", belichick style

Coming out of college he ran in the mid 4.6 range.

Hopefully we can cover kicks a bit better this year.

if history is any guide (and this includes Accorsi, Reese, Gettleman, Schoen), many of this 1-year deal guys won't make it.

But it is interesting to see who does and who doesn't.

Interesting that the Giants have made some end-of-the-roster vet signings leading into the draft. As of now, they have nine openings for UDFAs. Imagine there will be some churning of the bottom of the roster over the next two weeks

he likes tackling people

to add an XFL ST coach to the staff.

is 4 1/2 minute video about Adams that is certainly worth a listen.

he's learned from that

Well cross him off the list then

talk about a chicken-shit call

Get a lot of the depth in place before the draft so you don't have to "shop hungry" and can go BPA, especially in later rounds.

But a lot of these guys won't make the team, as Eric said.

"This guy here is dead!"

"Cross him off, then!"

"Still, the 28-year-old will be able to contribute in the third phase with New York. Adams will aim to help the Giants improve on special teams in 2024 after they ranked 21st in DVOA in that regard last season. The team entered Friday with $6.3MM in cap space, but this agreement will not dramatically lower that figure if it is in line with the deals Adams played on over the past two years."

I wish him well and I’m happy to see NY making ST an importance too. We’ve been pretty bad for many years.
