NFL free agency grades: How did each team do?

New York Giants

If the Houston Texans are the worst-run organization in the NFL thanks to Bill O’Brien’s wild trades and quizzical leadership skills, then the New York Giants are not far behind with the gloriously incompetent Dave Gettleman at the helm.

It often seems like Gettleman lives in his own little world, and based on his continued employment by the Giants, this may actually be the case.

Gettleman has turned the Giants once-promising roster into a laughingstock, and he had another poor free agency.

Signing former Carolina Panthers cornerback James Bradberry was a great idea, but the Giants needed more impact signings than Bradberry. Levin Toilolo, Colt McCoy, Nate Ebner, and Cameron Fleming are hardly that.

The Giants made some bigger move by adding Kyler Fackrell to a one-year, prove-it deal, but he’s a mediocre edge defender. Blake Martinez isn’t much better at inside linebacker, yet the Giants will be paying him $10 million per year.

Franchise tagging Leonard Williams was their most expensive move of the first wave of free agency, and it’s a cap hit the Giants will have a hard time justifying. Williams can no longer be viewed as a star player, and the Giants should have never traded a third and a fifth-round pick for him. Now, Gettleman is simply doubling down on a poor trade.

Grade: D
