When it came to forging the first version of the 53-man roster on Saturday afternoon, the Giants offered few surprises.
There were no shocking moves to let veterans walk, few plucky underdogs who fought their way on the team from obscurity, and very little drama in the entire process. The roster – with the exception of a few splash transactions that took place in the past month such as the signing of safety Logan Ryan and the trade for cornerback Isaac Yiadom, both of whom could wind up as starters – wound up looking pretty much as it seemed it might when the players first started arriving in mid-July.
