According to Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post, the Giants recently tried out a number of free agents including DB Jaiquawn Jarrett and RB Bobby Rainey.
- The other players who worked out for the Giants include OT Ben Ijalana, LB Kelvin Sheppard and OL Byron Stingily.
Rainey, 28, wound up signing on with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent out of Western Kentucky back in 2012. He spent over a year in Baltimore before being waived at the start of the 2013 season and later claimed by the Browns.
Rainey lasted just a few months in Cleveland before he was once again waived and this time claimed by the Buccaneers.
In 2015, Rainey appeared in all 16 games and ran for 18 yards on five carries (3.6 YPC) to go along with three receptions for 16 yards receiving and no touchdowns. He also contributed 469 kick return yards to go along with 288 punt return yards.
D, 26, is a former second-round pick of the Eagles back in 2011. He lasted just over a year in Philadelphia before he was waived at the start of the 2012 season. The Jets later signed him to a future/reserve contract at the end of the season.
New York re-signed Jarrett to a restricted contract worth $1.542 million last year, but he wound up being placed on season-ending injured reserve after clearing waivers.
In 2015, Jarrett has been active for four games, but didn’t record a single statistic for the Jets.
