Joe Schoen’s loyalty to unwritten rule keeps Giants chained to 2nd-round bust

Hey New York Giants fans, stop me if you’ve heard this one before — the Eagles found a loophole no other team would touch, and it worked in their favor. The G-Men had the chance to sneakily upgrade their weakest offensive line link with the best rookie center from the entire preseason. Instead, they stood pat while Philly pushed judgment aside and went for it.

While Big Blue was busy finalizing their 53-man roster and giving John Michael Schmitz another year to try to prove he’s not a bust, Philadelphia went full grey-area and swiped former Rams UDFA center Willie Lampkin off waivers (per ESPN's Field Yates).
