There’s no question the New York Giants are in search of a long-term solution at center. They currently have Spencer Pulley under contract, but they have been putting feelers out this offseason for a new face at the position.
This past month, they chose not to tender last year’s starter, Jon Halapio, who is rehabbing from Achilles surgery and would not have passed a physical (not that they can give him one at the moment). Halapio sustained the injury in the Giants’ season finale and is currently working way back into shape.
Still working, still grinding !! Currently in Week 12 Post Achilles Surgery. Ahead of schedule and feeling great. I don’t understand why Im going through this tough time in my life but I know God got me! I just got to do my part and keep working !! 😤🦍 #DaGut #OLineGang pic.twitter.com/ELFtuF1ZyY

Halapio is a free agent, but likely isn’t high on many team’s wish lists. This will be the second consecutive season Halapio is intensely rehabbing an injury. Last year, he was coming off a broken leg that ended his season on Week 2.
Halapio is still just 28 and is highly regarded by general manager Dave Gettleman, but with a new coaching staff, attitudes change and it’s very likely the Giants will use one of their ten draft selections next month on a new center.
