The New York Giants signed running back Devin Singletary to help fill the void left by the departure of Saquon Barkley. After leading the Buffalo Bills in rushing four consecutive seasons, then leading the Houston Texans in rushing last season, Singletary has proven he can be the primary back for a team. Still, ESPN's Bill Barnwell believes the Giants should sign former Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott to pair with Singletary. The former New England Patriots back is still available after rushing for 670 yards this season. Barnwell notes that although Elliott doesn't have the explosiveness ..read more

The New York Giants have had a busy start to the offseason following their lackluster 2023 campaign, which was marred by relentless injuries and poor performances. Not long after the dust settled on a 6–11 year, the team jumped straight into gutting the weak spots in their organizational structure and deliberating the fates of many names on the roster front. Some decisions were harder than others, but the same hope resides that the moves will place the franchise in a better position to succeed in 2024 and beyond. With every decision, Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll have focused on retooling the mo ..read more

The New York Giants have been busy this off-season, adding free agents and acquisitions to the team. But all those additions have cost them cap space, pushing them down to a league-low $1,998,303 of total cap space as of the start of Thursday. As expected, the Giants dipped into their top-heavy contracts to open up more space. According to Field Yates of ESPN, New York restructured defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence's deal by converting $10 million of his $16 million 2024 base salary into a signing bonus to open up $7.5 million in 2024 cap space. Assuming the Giants didn't add a voidable year t ..read more

The Arizona Cardinals have made it known that they'll entertain trade offers for the fourth overall pick in next month's draft--and that could be a good thing for the New York Giants. “There will be a big neon sign that says ‘open’ and I don’t like it blinking; it messes with my eyes. But we’re always going to be listening,” said Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort Wednesday.  “I think we’ll always have the conversation--we may not get to a point where a deal makes sense, whether it’s at [No.] 4 or anywhere we’re picking, but we’re always going to have the conversation, and if it ma ..read more

Outside linebacker Jihad Ward could always count on defensive coordinator Wink Martindale for a job. But Martindale resigned from his post with the New York Giants in January to take the defensive coordinator's role at Michigan, so Ward, an unrestricted free agent, signed with the Minnesota Vikings. Ward played in 34 games for the Giants, with 20 starts, over his two years in blue. He recorded 67 tackles, eight sacks (including a career-high five last season), 22 quarterback pressures, and four pass breakups. However, his 118.8 coverage rating matched his career high, first set in 2019. Ward j ..read more

Mel Kiper Jr Sticking with This First-round Pick for Giants
Sports Illustrated » New York Giants
by Ezekiel Trezevant IV
1M ago
The New York Giants have one of the top picks in this year's NFL Draft and many holes to fill on their roster. However, the Giants will likely spend their first-round pick on an offensive player to help maximize the play of starting quarterback Daniel Jones. The veteran quarterback arguably had one of the league's worst wide receiving and offensive line units. Draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. has often predicted that the Giants will take receiver Rome Odunze sixth overall, and nothing that has transpired thus far in free agency around the league has changed his mind, as indicated in his latest mock ..read more

The New York Giants have re-signed cornerback Darnay Holmes to a one-year deal, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Holmes, the team's fourth-round pick (No. 110 overall) in the 2020 draft out of UCLA, was drafted to be the team's slot cornerback. However, he gradually saw his role reduced, last year seeing the fewest number of snaps on defense (123) in his four-year career outside of 2021, when his season ended early due to a rib injury. The 5-10, 195-pound Holmes, who took a pay cut to remain with the Giants last year, found new life on special teams as a punt gunner, teaming up with fellow cornerback ..read more
