Makes sense. Considering we dont really have anyone that has proven to play the 0-1 tech positions very well. I think it could be a good cheap signing.
Ive said it before, Dex doesn't play the NT position well, gets blown backwards a bunch when doubled in the run game. This will allow our DC to roll how he did with Dalvin occupying the double teams on most run sets

I like it. He was the first player I thought of when we lost Tomlinson. He’s not Tomlinson good, but a serviceable player.

If this keeps Gettleman from drafting an IDL within first 3 rounds then I'm all for it.

Solving problems. There are also a few NT's in the draft we could get mid round.
This is why I wasn't all in on overpaying for Tomlinson.

This would be an excellent signing if they can get it done.

Wanted him in the draft years ago. Thought he would make more of an impact. Nice player yet a bit of a journeyman.

I was hoping for Jarren Reed ( former Seahawk ) .Plus ex- Alabama.
KANSAS City sign him to a one year 7 million dollars.

Depth/Rotation
Came from Detroit last year, after a couple in NE. Connections to the coaches.
I like it.
Obviously not Tomlinson though.
Another guy coming off a big injury last year though.

Remember those drafts when the argument for the Giants first round picks were Kyle Rudolph, Reggie Ragland or Danny Shelton.....yeah, me too.

Giants signing Shelton to one year deal.
Man they must be serving some really good food over there because whoever visits doesnt leave without signing.

Giants signing Shelton to one year deal. Man they must be serving some really good food over there because whoever visits doesnt leave without signing. Credit to Patrick Graham and Sean Spencer. Those two are who met with Shelton. They probably sold him that he will play a lot, and we’re trying to build a winner here. Very enticing to a player who just got released.

This is a good veteran signing. It strengthens our DL. Shelton with LW and Dex, not as nearly as good as Tomlinson but /Shelton does absorb blocks and is and has been a solid player.
I really like this signing, this should take away a position of need at least for a year. We could still go DL if we desire. But it opens up other opportunities if we desire to go a different direction without weakening the team.
Try and run against this DL. Imagine if we draft Micah Parsons behind these guys and next to Martinez ?

This good news. I thought Shelton was off the market. Good to to have a nice rotation going on the Dline.

I did not want to move Lawrence to the nose. It takes away his athleticism and his ability to shed blocks. Keep him at the 5 tech and let him use his strengths to his advantage. Shelton is your prototypical nose tackle. Big bodied who takes up blockers.

Hell yea! Wanted him in the draft, and had him on my list of targets this off-season when we lost DT. Great addition.
DG and friends are killing it so far this off-season. Well done.
