Giants banking on Brandon Marshall to be their free-agent savior

A breakdown of the first week of free agency for the New York Giants:

Most significant signing: The Giants struck early this year when they added wide receiver Brandon Marshall to the mix before free agency officially opened. Marshall was able to sign because he was cut by the Jets; his contract hadn’t expired. It’s a move the Giants are counting on to have an enormous impact on their offense, which struggled to score points last season. Marshall may not be a 1,500-yard receiver anymore at 33 years old and coming off a down year, but he brings valuable skills to the table.
