The New York Giants have made a number of roster decisions this summer that indicated a desire to choose young players whenever possible.
- They traded soon-to-be 32-year-old defensive tackle Jordan Phillips to the Dallas Cowboys while keeping undrafted free agent rookie Elijah Chatman and third-year player D.J. Davidson.
- They released 30-year-old defensive back Jalen Mills. They ended up filling that spot by claiming Anthony Johnson Jr., a second-year player, off waivers from the Green Bay Packers.
- Rather than sign a veteran running back to back up Devin Singletary, they will use second-year man Eric Gray and rookie Tyrone Tracy Jr.
