New York Giants

For the second straight year, the New York Giants had a disappointing season. The team went 5-11, and they know have figure out what they want to do at the quarterback position. If they move on from Eli Manning, they’ll have much more cap to work with, as they currently have a bit over $27 million.

Rodger Saffold, OG

The Giants drafted well last year. The team’s second-round pick, Will Hernandez, had a promising season at left guard. While he and Nate Solder struggled at times, they did form a nice duo on the left side of the offensive lines as the season went on.

Jamon Brown did an OK job at right guard, but Saffold would be a better option. Brown is also a free agent this offseason, which makes bringing Saffold in and moving on from him easier. The offensive line allowed 47 sacks.

Tyrann Mathieu, S

Landon Collins may not be returning to the Giants. Therefore, Mathieu would be the best replacement for him.

Why? Current team defensive coordinator, James Bettcher, was the defensive coordinator of Arizona Cardinals during Mathieu’s best seasons. If the team lets Collins walk, signing an experienced player within the team’s defensive scheme like Mathieu would be ideal.

Mathieu is more versatile than Collins, and he was a Pro Bowl and All-Pro player under Bettcher in 2015.

Nick Foles, QB

This probably isn’t happening, but it should be. Foles is going to hit the open market as a Super Bowl MVP who would immediately make the Giants better. If New York was able to sign him, it could then turn around and release Eli Manning into the market.

In addition, Foles isn’t going to be the quarterback of the next decade for Big Blue. He would be a nice bridge to when the Giants could draft a franchise guy.
