New York Giants management was given the green light this off-season to spend an exorbitant amount of money in free agency and execute an aggressive strategy during the draft. Acquiring Kenny Golladay, retaining Leonard Williams, and signing a bevy of complementary pieces cost the Giants upwards of $150 million over the next few seasons, and while most teams were being conservative, Big Blur took a win-now approach.
For the first time in general manager Dave Gettleman’s career, he traded back in the NFL draft, adding more capital for the 2022 draft. This opens the door entirely for a backup plan if Daniel Jones doesn’t pan out and enough assets to trade up for a player like Oregon pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux.
