Overall, Big Blue has had a checkered history with free agency. Over the past several years, the New York Giants have unfortunately added notable busts from the free agent market.
Guys like guards Geoff Schwarz and Patrick Omameh, running backs Shane Vereen and Jonathan Stewart, as well as linebacker J.T. Thomas and wide receiver/return specialist Dwayne Harris proved to be more sizzle than steak.
But free agency has not been a total exercise in futility in East Rutherford. Rosters for the championship teams of the 21st century have seen their fair share of important contributors come from the free agent ranks.
