5 Giants among PFF’s top 200 impending free agents

Pro Football Focus has released their list of the top 200 impending free agents and 5 current (and 2 former) New York Giants made the cut.

The new league year and the official start of free agency are just around the corner. On March 13, the NFL’s wildest off-field season begins as teams scramble to find talent on the open market.

The New York Giants will certainly be among the most active given their abundance of roster needs. They also have a large number of their own players hitting free agency, which will create additional turnover.

Recently, Pro Football Focus released their ranking of the top 200 impending free agents and five Giants made the cut. Several former Giants also did.

Defensive lineman Leonard Williams was ranked 16th overall and guard Kevin Zeitler was ranked 32nd overall.

Here’s where the current Giants landed:

Giants offseason bookkeeping: 3 contracts voided, bonuses coming due

The New York Giants had three contracts voided in the days after the Super Bowl, while other player bonuses are soon coming due.

As free agency approaches in a month, the New York Giants have other administrative things to handle, like bonus payouts and other contract-related items.

On Feb. 14, the contracts of A’Shawn Robinson, Adoree’ Jackson and Tyrod Taylor were all voided.

Robinson had a so-so season — mediocre when looking at his past production. He recorded 62 tackles (34 solo), two passes defensed and 12.5 stuffs but did improve down the stretch.

Jackson was, at times, a bright spot on the defense, like when he returned an interception for a touchdown. He added 63 tackles (49 solo), a forced fumble and eight passes defensed.

Taylor’s entire career has been full of setbacks. He’s a solid quarterback, but he can’t stay healthy. Although this season it wasn’t entirely his fault — the Giants had the worst offensive line in the league. Even so, he completed over 64% of his passes for 1,341 yards and five touchdowns. He was also sacked 17 times and threw three interceptions.

All three of those players are veterans who will not have trouble finding a home. And it’s possible that they could end up back in blue, but for now, they are free agents.

In other contract news, Jamie Gillan is due a $250,000 roster bonus, and Darius Slayton is due a $2.4 million roster bonus on March 18, which is the same day Rakeem Nunes-Roches receives $2 million of his 2024 salary fully guaranteed.

Giants injury report: 7 players limited in practice

The New York Giants listed seven players as limited in practice on Thursday and 13 on the total report.

The New York Giants returned to the field on Thursday for their first full practice ahead of a Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Rams — one day removed from a walkthrough.

The injury report was lengthy to open the week and that trend continued 24 hours later.

While everyone practiced on at least a limited basis, several key players remained limited — seven in total with 13 players listed on the official injury report.

The Giants’ full Thursday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: N/A

Giants injury report: Dexter Lawrence, 4 others miss practice

New York Giants coach Brian Daboll said everyone would participate on Wednesday but five players, including Sexy Dexy, ended up sitting out.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday ahead of a Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Rams at MetLife Stadium.

Because the Giants played on Christmas Day and are on a short week, head coach Brian Daboll limited the team to a walkthrough. They will conduct full practices on both Thursday and Friday.

Coming out of Monday’s game, the Giants were relatively healthy despite a few players (Darren Waller, Justin Pugh) getting banged up. Daboll said everyone would participate on at least a limited basis.

“We’re doing a walkthrough today so everybody will be participating in the walkthrough,” Daboll said.

The lie detector test determined that was a lie.

Several players sat out on Wednesday and several more were limited, including punter Jamie Gillan, who suffered a groin injury two weeks ago and a knee injury in the Giants’ loss to Philadelphia.

“We’ll see tomorrow but trending in the right direction,” Daboll said of Gillan.

The Giants’ full (projected) Wednesday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: CB Detone Banks (shoulder), TE Lawrence Cager (groin), NT Dexter Lawrence (hamstring), DT A’Shawn Robinson (back), DT Rakeem Nunez-Roches (knee)

Limited participant: RB Saquon Barkley (elbow), OL Ben Bredeson (quad), P Jamie Gillan (groin/knee), CB Adoree’ Jackson (ankle), OL Justin Pugh (elbow), WR Wan’Dale Robinson (quad), OL John Michael Schmitz (shoulder), TE Darren Waller (knee)

Full participant: N/A

Giants’ Evan Neal, Rakeem Nunez-Roches out vs. Eagles

The New York Giants have ruled OL Evan Neal and DT Rakeem Nunez-Roches out against the Eagles, listing four others as questionable.

The New York Giants closed out their practice slate on Saturday afternoon, wrapping up their third session in four days.

Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence, who is nursing a hamstring injury, returned to the field and told reporters he intends to play on Monday afternoon against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Head coach Brian Daboll expressed similar optimism for veteran defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson.

Full injury reports for both the Giants and Eagles can be found below:

Giants injury report: Dexter Lawrence continues to miss practice

New York Giants NT Dexter Lawrence (hamstring) was a projected non-participant in practice on Friday and was joined by three others.

The New York Giants enjoyed an off day on Friday with their final practice scheduled for Saturday ahead of a Christmas Day game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

With most players away from team facilities, that meant little change in terms of injury status. However, the Giants still moved forward with a projected injury report.

Nose tackle Dexter Lawrence was a projected non-participant due to a hamstring issue that has plagued him for several weeks.

“He’s still working through his hamstring,” head coach Brian Daboll told reporters this week.

Even with an extra day off this week, Sexy Dexy seems unlikely to suit up on Monday afternoon against the Eagles.

The Giants’ full (projected) Friday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: NT Dexter Lawrence (hamstring), DT Rakeem Nunez-Roches (knee), OL Evan Neal (ankle), TE Lawrence Cager (groin)

Limited participant: DT A’Shawn Robinson (back), RB Matt Breida (hamstring), LB Carter Coughlin (neck), P Jamie Gillan (groin), S Xavier McKinney (illness)

Full participant: OL Justin Pugh (calf/neck), TE Darren Waller (hamstring), RB Gary Brightwell (hamstring), OL Matt Peart (shoulder)

Giants injury report: Darren Waller designated to return from IR

The New York Giants have designated TE Darren Waller to return from injured reserve (IR) and he could play on Sunday vs. New Orleans.

The New York Giants returned to practice on Thursday — their first full practice of the week — and the first order of business was a significant one.

Just prior to taking the field, the team announced that tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) had been designated to return from injured reserve (IR). If all goes well, he could see a few snaps on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.

Waller indicated on Wednesday that he was close to a return but was just awaiting the green light from trainers.

In other positive news, every single player on the active roster participated on at least a limited basis for the second straight day. All have a chance to play in Week 15 — right tackle Evan Neal included.

The Giants’ full Thursday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: N/A

Limited participant: OL Evan Neal (ankle), CB Cor’Dale Flott (shoulder), NT Dexter Lawrence (hamstring), DL A’Shawn Robinson (hamstring/finger), LB Isaiah Simmons (ankle), TE Darren Waller (hamstring)

Full participant: WR Parris Campbell (knee), LB Azeez Ojulari (shoulder)

Giants injury report: Evan Neal returns to practice

New York Giants RT Evan Neal returned to practice on Wednesday, while four others, including NT Dexter Lawrence, were limited.

The New York Giants returned to the practice field on Wednesday following a stunning Week 14 upset of the Green Bay Packers.

Given that the Giants played on Monday night, they were limited to a walkthrough on Wednesday. They will have full practices on both Thursday and Friday before traveling down to New Orleans on Saturday.

The positive news opening Week 15 is that the team sustained no new injuries against Green Bay. Everyone on the active roster, right tackle Evan Neal included, participated in the walkthrough on at least a limited basis.

Unfortunately, there was also some negative news.

Daboll revealed that the 21-day window for tight end Darren Waller, who is currently on injured reserve (IR), was not opened. He did not practice on Wednesday and seems unlikely to play on Sunday against the Saints unless there is a drastic change in 24 hours.

“We’ll see where we’re at here, making progress. Getting closer,” Daboll said of Waller.

The Giants’ full (projected) Wednesday injury report can be found below:

Did not participate: N/A

Limited participant: OL Evan Neal (ankle), CB Cor’Dale Flott (shoulder), NT Dexter Lawrence (hamstring), LB Azeez Ojulari (shoulder), DL A’Shawn Robinson (hamstring/finger)

Full participant: WR Parris Campbell (knee)

Giants-Packers Week 14: Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The New York Giants won their Week 14 game against the Green Bay Packers. Here are the snap counts on offense, defense and special teams.

The New York Giants stunned the Green Bay Packers on Monday night, snapping their long-standing primetime curse with a game-winning field goal as time expired.

Rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito delivered his magic yet again, hitting wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson with under 2:00 remaining in the fourth quarter on the biggest play of the game.

With the win, the Giants improve to 5-8 on the season and their three-game winning streak now has them just a single game back in the NFC Playoff hunt.

Here are the snap counts that contributed to the Giants’ most recent win.

Offensive snaps: 56
Defensive snaps: 68
Special teams snaps: 27

One year removed from ACL surgery (almost to the day), wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson played 44 offensive snaps and arguably had the most impactful game of his career. The 180 from where he was a year ago is remarkable and the youngster deserves his due.

Despite the struggles of both Cor’Dale Flott and Darnay Holmes, rookie cornerback Tre Hawkins did not take a single defensive snap on Monday.

Meanwhile, defensive linemen A’Shawn Robinson and Rakeem Nunez-Roches, who sports an interesting helmet design, continue to split snaps in the post-Leonard Williams world.
