Giants position review: Unsettled safety position needs to be sorted out

New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman knew coming into his first season with the Giants that he wasn’t going to be able to fix everything that was wrong with the franchise.

So he rolled the dice in some areas, such as at safety. Unfortunately for Gettleman and the Giants, their gamble at this position didn’t pay off.

The Giants gave up on oft-injured Darian Thompson, their third-round pick from 2016, which wasn’t a surprise.

What was a surprise at this position was that Andrew Adams, who as a rookie had played well in place of Thompson but who didn’t get much of a chance in his second season once Thompson returned to full health, was sent packing as part of the final cuts in training camp.
