NY Giants express interest in Titans CB Alterraun Verner and Ravens DE Arthur Jones

From late last night ... Add TE Andrew Quarless to the list of free agents the Giants have expressed an interest in.

[Treehugger]

Jones at least was a DT in college. I hope we sign him.

 

I'm hoping this is just a ruse to get Joseph's price down. Jones will eat up a lot of our FA money for a position that's already one of the three strongest on the team.

Not sure we can call the d-line one of the strongest on the team anymore with the FAs we have not yet signed. Take away Tuck and Joseph...you're not left with much.

 

Moore, JPP, Hankins, Kiwi...and? Two unproven, one who blew his wad in his first year, and Kiwi who while decent in role player role, is not the #1 focus of any offense.

Was corltand finngean cut by the rams?

 

I wouldnt be mad if the Giants got him..shouldnt be too expensive at his age.

I was just talking about the DT position, where they're supposing Jones would play, not the whole line. If they can sign Joseph to a reasonable contract I see no reason to use a huge chunk of FA money at DT when we really need a CB, TE, and possibly WR.

"Here's a very interesting name to add to the Giants' watch list: TE Brandon Pettigrew. ... I'm told there's some level of interest there."

I don't think they would sign Arthur Jones if they signed Joseph.

About a month ago I mentioned him as someone I'd like the giants to sign.

Guessing they have the same sentiments I did after the combine and watching CFB games...which is this TE class doesn't impress me. I think they are also hoping McAdoo turns Robinson into something and they'll bring in a vet just for safety valve.

The Giants, as expected, expressed interest in Packers C Evan Dietrich-Smith. A team source describes the interest as "serious".

[Herc]

yes please to verner

awesome

[Virginia Giant]

yes please to verner

Yeah it would be awesome sure up the corners.

[Bigblue25]

De la Puente or Diertrich-Smith would be awesome. Both guys I mentioned at the beginning of the offseason.

[Mr. P]

Looks like Jones will sign with the colts.

Hearing same. RT @ConorTOrr: The #Giants are one of three teams right now in the mix for Geoff Schwartz, I'm told.

"Hearing #Giants want interior of offensive line to be (right to left) Chris Snee, Kevin Boothe, Geoff Schwartz." http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2014/03/giants_plan_for_offensive_line_starting_to_come_into_shape.html …

 

Not exactly the huge upgrade I was expecting. I was thinking Schwartz(RG) EDS C Draft pick(LG) Snee has a backup and didn't put Boothe in the equation.

[Dragon]

That's pathetic if true.

[Treehugger]

A journeyman who started 7 games last year...CHAMPIONSHIP!

[Bigblue25]

Much rather would of had Jon Asamoah from KC. He signed with Atlanta.

[Dragon]

I wanted Asamoah as well but I was a little concerned about his health. I thought he was coming off a major injury.

Then again, the Chiefs opted for Schwartz over Asamoah last season. Asamoah began the season as the starter at right guard but missed a game in late November against San Diego because of a shoulder injury. Schwartz played so well the Chiefs kept him in the lineup for the rest of the season, leaving Asamoah on the bench. And don't forget that the offense began to make its move at the time Schwartz was put into the lineup, though it's difficult to make the direct connection between the events.
