PFF FREE AGENCY GRADE: A-. The most favorable way to look at this deal is that the Giants effectively used the draft capital they acquired for interior defender Leonard Williams to land a younger player looking for a second contract instead of a third contract. Burns addresses arguably the biggest need on this Giants roster and should have a lot less attention on him all the time now playing alongside Dexter Lawrence and Kayvon Thibodeaux.

Runyan is a solid, durable player, and the Giants desperately needed to improve on the interior of their offensive line. Singletary was solid in Houston in a fairly sizable role, beating out Dameon Pierce for the starting job.

Devin Singletary says he’ll wear No. 26 with the Giants, previously worn by Saquon Barkley | Pro Football Talk

Singletary signed with the Giants this week and will likely be their starting running back, a position previously held by Barkley. Singletary wore No. 26 for four years in Buffalo and one year in Houston and says he’ll keep that number.

“Yeah, I’m wearing 26, I had 26 since I came into the league, so that’s the number I’m sticking with,” Singletary said.

He grew up in South Jersey as his father played nine seasons for the Eagles and later became a New Jersey congressman for four years (2011-15).

“I kind of understand the whole NFC East rivalry between all these teams,” Runyan Jr. said. “It’s tough, gritty football. Watching my dad and Michael go out at it twice a year was always fun, staying up late and watching that battle go down on Monday night and Sunday Night Football. I’m just happy to be a part of it. It was a really special part of my childhood, and I’m excited to go forward and plant my own story.”

The Giants’ offensive line was a disgrace, once again, in 2023. They finished 30th in Pro Football Focus’ run blocking ratings and dead last in pass blocking.

6. New York Giants: Malik Nabers WR, LSU. New York lacks a No. 1 wide receiver who can create his own opportunities. Malik Nabers has great body control down the field. He would be a great complement to what the Giants already have in Wan’Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt.
