Gettleman loaded New York Giants roster with veteran mentors

Many of the New York Giants new additions are expected to make an immediate impact on the field. But Gettleman also added players to Big Blue’s roster that can serve a dual purpose.

All five players have had plenty of success through their NFL careers. Solder joined the Giants as two-time Super Bowl champion. Stewart left the Carolina Panthers as the franchise’s all-time leading rusher, according to Pro Football Reference.
