Giants insist lineman’s marijuana stance isn’t a drawback

Eugene Monroe’s public stance on the use of medical marijuana in the NFL won’t deter the Giants from signing the free agent offensive tackle.

At least, that was the message coming from coach Ben McAdoo and his players after the final practice of the team’s three-day minicamp on Thursday.

Released by the Ravens on Wednesday, the talented, 29-year-old offensive tackle has been linked to the Giants, who failed this offseason to fill their void at right tackle currently inhabited by Marshall Newhouse. They tried to trade for Monroe prior to the move, an NFL source said, and are interested in signing him.
