Eugene Monroe interests Giants, source says

The Giants did not trade for Eugene Monroe, but there remains a possibility they will acquire the veteran offensive tackle anyway.

The Ravens terminated the contract of Monroe on Wednesday afternoon after trade talks with the Giants fell apart. The Giants were reportedly unwilling to give up a player and take on Monroe’s $6.5-million salary for 2016. According to a source, however, the Giants remain interested in pursuing Monroe now that he is a free agent.

Monroe, a native of Plainfield, New Jersey, was a first-round pick of the Jaguars in 2009 and was traded to the Ravens in 2013.
