A hole on the New York Giants’ roster emerged after New York unexpectedly released starting safety Logan Ryan. The veteran safety signed a three-year, $31-million extension after an impressive 2020 season in Patrick Graham’s scheme. Ryan’s play declined in 2021, Joe Judge and Dave Gettleman were fired after the season, and the new regime released the two-time Super Bowl champion.
Safety was a low-key need with Ryan on the roster, specifically for the long-term. Xavier McKinney started to break into stardom last season and figures to be a leader in Don “Wink” Martindale’s scheme.
