People were quite surprised when the New York Giants decided to give free agent running back Devontae Booker a two-year $5.5 million contract.
During his press conference on Tuesday, Giants’ general manager Dave Gettleman made it clear why they wanted to add Booker.
“One of the reasons we prioritized Devontae is: You can never have too many good players, at any position. I don’t care what anybody says,” Gettleman said, via NJ.com. “One of the things that made Devontae so attractive was the fact that we felt he was a legitimate three-down running back. So it’s always a group decision here.
