Wednesday Afternoon Update
Tenderness on the Block
In the Twiiterverse today there have been several tweets regarding players the Giants may offer tenders to.
Ralph Vacchiano premised the topic by stating that the Giants could offer tenders to all of their free agents risk-free. The offers are not guaranteed should no other team claim them. The Giants have to option to keep them or release them at any time.
Ernie Palladino has reported that Dave Tollefson will be tendered, but has no further information.
Tomorrow is the first deadline of the free-agent season. Teams must announce all players they wish to place a tag on – both franchise and transition.
The free agent period begins a week from Friday. Last year the Giants broke fast by signing Michael Boley, Chris Canty and Rocky Bernard in the first 72 hours. Will they be be as aggressive this year? They’d like to be, but with RFAs, the process could take a few weeks.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports “Dunta Robinson and Leigh Bodden are expected to be the most heavily pursued free-agent CBs”. Whether or not the Giants have any interest in these players remains to be seen. They seem to be fairly deep at CB right now.
