Giants GM Jerry Reese told reporters on Thursday that he’s optimistic that they could have some of their free agents re-signed before the start of free agency.
โThis is going to be a saturated free-agent market again it looks like. We might be able to get a few guys done before the regular free agency starts,โ Reese said,” via Jordan Raanan of theย Newark Star-Ledger. โBut weโre still evaluating players and free agents and seeing where our cap situation is going to be. So, weโll work it out.โ
New York is in a difficult situation seeing as they have a total ofย 28 free agents address this offseason.
Raananย lists:ย K Josh Brown, RB Andre Brown, S Stevie Brown and MLB Jon Beason as some of the most likely players likely to be approached regarding contract extensions.
Veteran DEย Justin Tuck is expected to test the free agent market in the coming months, but has scheduled a meeting with the team for earlierย February.
According to Overthecap.com, the Giants should have close toย $13.2 million in available cap space to work with this offseason, but that’s of course before roster cuts and potential contract restructures.
We have Andre Brown listed as the No. 93 player in ourย Top 100 Free Agents list.
