Even with Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Prince Amukamara on the field, the New York Giants struggled in coverage in 2015. Whether Amukamara returns or not, the Giants need better corner play, especially in the slot. Trevin Wade and Jayron Hosley were often exposed by opposing quarterbacks, either in the slot or on the outside filling in for injured starters.
Casey Hayward, 26, spent the last four years with the Green Bay Packers, an organization Ben McAdoo is certainly familiar with. Pro Football Focus rates him as the third-best corner available in free agency. Hayward was Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2012, but battled injuries in the seasons that followed.
