The Giants lineage was inspired by Daniel Jones

Plenty, but not everything, the Giants did in free agency specifically designed to provide help and support for Daniel Jones. There is no doubt that the front office still believes that the young quarterback, still entering his third NFL season, is in a more advantageous position than ever.

“Of course, I believe that you always draft the person you feel is going to be your franchise quarterback, the first thing is to get the people around him to get him and then you give him. Get a playmaker, “general manager Dave Gatelman said on Tuesday.” You help him out by doing a variety of tasks. ”

The Giants did this to make Jones’ football life easier. He also added veterans Tite and Kyle Rudolph, leaving behind Devonte Booker and speed receiver John Ross.

“We felt we wanted to get a bigger wide receiver, Kenny was available and we made the deal,” Getman said. “It’s obviously going to help Daniel. Kyle Rudolph is a professional tight end. He has been in the league 10 years, he knows all the ins and outs, he is still a good player, of course Joe helps Daniel, but it also helps our running game, it helps Sacon is [Barkley]. This is the full picture. ”

Booker’s signing on a two-year contract valued at $ 5.5 million seemed somewhat off-kilter. If Barkley reconstructs a full recovery from knee surgery, Booker’s role is strictly as a backup.

“One of the reasons we Devontae is preferred is that in a situation you can never have too many good players,” Getman said. “One of the things that made Devonte attractive was that we felt he was a legitimate three-down running back. We think that may be a good part of our solution.


After agreeing to a two-year, $ 12 million contract with Rudolph, the Giants found out that Rudolph had a problem with his leg that needed surgery to correct. They could go back to the deal or reduce guaranteed money ($ 4.5 million) by adding incentives based on game time. Ronnie Barnes, senior vice president of medical services, and principal team physician Drs. Scott Rodo signed Rudolph and eventually returned to health and the contract remained unchanged.

“We’re veterans,” Gettman said. “We’re going to do everything with the class and there was an agreement between us, Ronnie signed it and Doctor Rodeo signed it, so we were fine. ‘


The Giants knew that a large sum of money (three years, $ 63 million) would not be used for Leonard Williams for his defensive adornment, Dalvin Tomlinson. Tomlinson signed a two-year, $ 21 million deal with the Vikings.

“Dalwyn is a wonderful youth, and he was a captain,” Getman said. “Obviously sorry. But at the end of the day you only have so much money and you have got to decide. that’s just the way it is. We will miss Dalvin, of course, and I am thrilled that he got what he wanted and Minnesota a good organization. ‘
