EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The gates swung open Monday for the NFL's free-agency negotiating period, and for the first time in what seems like forever the New York Giants are not monitoring the top of the offensive line market.
No Nate Solder to a record deal or Geoff Schwartz at high-end guard money or David Baas or J.D. Walton to be the Giants' next long-term center. Those days are gone. There is a plan in place now to build from within.
Some might say it's a miracle. Others might declare it lunacy considering the composition and youth of the line.
