They need to get better at that position, but so far all they have done is lost Nick Gates and Jon Feliciano
What are the New York Giants going to do about the interior of their offensive line?
In various forms, that question keeps pouring in to the Big Blue View inbox. Readers Bill Cafarella, Walter Recher, Troy Wade, Jim O’Donnell and Jeff Graham have all sent that question this week. I know they aren’t the only Giants fans or...

Giants lose center Jon Feliciano to 49ersFeliciano followed Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll from the Buffalo Bills to the Giants, signing a one-year contract, and manned their center position for 15 of 17 games.

As it stands now, Ben...

Slayton talks about the quarterback and the reasons he chose to stay with the Giants in free agency
Darius Slayton did not get Terrell Owens-level emotional talking about, but the New York Giants wide receiver made it clear that Daniel Jones is his quarterback, and a big reason he just re-signed with the team.
“Anybody who follows me on Twitter knows Daniel Jones slander is not being tolerated on my timeline. That’ll be that way...

Is Young being overlooked because of his age?
The 2023 NFL Draft is regarded as a slightly weak one, but it’s expected to be a very deep draft for several positions.
In particular, this draft could produce a historically good group of pass rushers. This EDGE group is so good that players who would be talked about as likely first round players in other years are being almost completely overlooked in this class.
Tennessee’s Byron Young has had a long and...
The New York Giants are considering the possibility of losing defensive back Julian Love this offseason. They are trying this week to add depth to the secondary for the upcoming season.

Patricia Traina joins the ‘Valentine’s Views’ podcast to discuss where things stand
The New York Giants accomplished a lot in the first week of 2023 NFL free agency. They signed linebacker Bobby Okereke, defensive tackle Rakeem Nunez-Roches, and wide wide receivers Parris Campbell, Darius Slayton and Jeff Smith. They swung a massive trade for star tight end Darren Waller.
There is, though, still much to be done. Patricia Traina joins the ‘Valentine’s Views’ podcast to...

Seeking a better tomorrow while taking care of today for the Giants
Free agency isn’t over by any means, but after the flurry of early signings the attention of NFL fans is already beginning to turn to the April NFL Draft. New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen executed two trade-downs in the 2022 draft but did not trade for any future draft picks. His predecessor, Dave Gettleman, did make a big trade that involved future draft picks, the...

Can Hall be more than a backup in the NFL?
The NFL is a quarterback driven league, and is therefore always hungry for quarterbacks. Not only are teams constantly looking for starting — or even the fabled “franchise” — quarterbacks, but they’re also always on the lookout for reliable back-ups.
One of the biggest nightmares for a team is the potential long-term loss of their starter due to injury. An injury to your starting quarterback can...

Knee injury prevented Johnson from perhaps being drafted in 2022
The New York Giants are hosting a young cornerback on Monday whose hopes of hearing his name called in the 2022 NFL Draft were dashed by a torn ACL suffered while training.
Former Duke cornerback Leonard Johnson is visiting with the Giants as a potential developmental signing, according to Aaron Wilson.
Johnson a 6-foot, 191-pound cornerback who...
New York Giants news for Monday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
DT A’Shawn Robinson visiting Giants on MondayWe wrote about this on Saturday. Robinson would add to GM Joe Schoen’s continuing effort to add to the defensive line depth and improve the Giants’ run defense. The Athletic ranks Robinson as the No. 40 player available in free agency, and says:
Robinson is one of the best run defenders in the NFL not named Aaron Donald. His 38 tackles on designed rush plays through Week...

Did Turner’s 4.26 40 time move him up draft boards?
There are few positions on the football field more difficult to play than cornerback. Not only do corners need to have a very good understanding of the defensive scheme and play, but they also need to have a pretty good idea of what the offense is doing.
Oh, and it certainly has the highest athletic premium of any position as well.
It’s little wonder why teams that favor aggressive defense prize corners with...
The New York Giants currently have only $3.8 million in salary cap space following the first wave of free-agency signings. New York needs to create more space as they continue to build their roster in free agency and look ahead to the 2023 NFL Draft.
Free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has reached out to a familiar face in order to potentially facilitate a return to the New York Giants. Beckham and Giants running back Saquon Barkley had an exchange on social media that indicated the former would like the latter to speak to general manager Joe Schoen on his behalf.
Many expected the New York Giants to make a big splash at wide receiver this offseason at the start of free agency. The Giants have added some talent to the position, but their big splash came in the way of trading for TE Darren Waller.

There are pros and cons
It’s not clear whether the New York Giants’ 2023 free agency spending is at or nearing its end. At some point, though, general manager Joe Schoen will have to deal with the contract situation of Saquon Barkley. It’s possible that he just leaves Barkley on the $10.1M non-exclusive franchise tag and lets him walk in 2024 in favor of a running back acquired in the draft (whether this year’s or next year’s). It’s also possible that he...
