The New York Giants entered the 2017 NFL offseason with a multitude of franchise-altering decisions ahead of them. Thus far, no move has been more important for the Giants to make than the decision to re-sign the team’s existing tight ends.
Having already re-signed Matt LaCosse to a one-year deal, the Giants have made a decision on the future of 2016 starter Will Tye.
LaCosse was viewed as the upside player at the tight end position, but a knee injury forced him to be sidelined. It was Will Tye who benefited most from injuries to LaCosse and Larry Donnell, as he led all Giants tight ends in receptions and receiving yards.
