The New York Giants entered free agency with upwards of $75
million in cap space and several holes on their roster.
They added five new players on
offense (tight ends Levine Toilolo and Eric Tomlinson, offensive tackle Cam
Fleming, quarterback Colt McCoy and running back Dion Lewis); six on defense
(linebackers Blake Martinez and Kyler Fackrell, defensive backs James
Bradberry, Dravon Askew-Henry, and Nate Ebner and defensive tackle Austin
Johnson); and long snapper
Casey Kreiter to their special teams unit.
While the team was unable to address
every need and will still likely add at the positions they filled in free
agency in the upcoming draft, here's a breakdown of some of the moves and our
grade for each.
Long Snapper Casey Kreiter
1 year $1.047 million. 2020
Cap Hit $887K
The
Giants signed long snapper Casey Kreiter, most recently with Denver, as a
potential upgrade at the position over Colin Holba, who finished last year as
the long snapper after Zak DeOssie went on injured reserve.
Kreiter's
arrival likely closes the door on a potential return by DeOssie, who could be
contemplating retiring after 13 seasons as the Giants long snapper.
Kreiter
served as the starting long snapper for the Denver Broncos since 2016 and made
the Pro-Bowl in 2018. By joining the Giants, Kreiter will reunite with his
former punter, Riley Dixon.
Grade: A-
