NY Giants add solid veteran backup quarterback in free agency

While the name ‘Colt McCoy‘ might not excite most NY Giants fans, it should. McCoy has carved out a nitch as a solid backup quarterback in this league for a decade now, but even better, him signing with Big Blue dramatically lowers the chances of eternal journeyman Alex Tanney being on the 53-man roster in 2020.

According to Jordan Raanan of ESPN, the terms of the deal are very affordable and this actually makes a lot of sense for the NY Giants.

For just $1.5M guaranteed, this is a very low-risk move for the NY Giants.
