The New York Giants have been trying and struggling to improve their offensive line for years. General manager Joe Schoen paid up in free agency last offseason, signing a couple of offensive linemen in an effort to upgrade the unit. Among his acquisitions was former Green Bay Packers guard Jon Runyan Jr., who signed a three-year, $30 million deal to join the Giants.
Runyan was the lone Giants’ big-money free-agent signing (outside of their trade for EDGE Brian Burns). While Runyan served as an upgrade over what Big Blue had on the interior of their offensive line the season prior, not everyone is convinced that he was a worthwhile signing.
