This move comes as no surprise, as Remmers visited the New York Giants in March, but left without a contract. At that time, general manager Dave Gettleman indicated that there was still interest by both parties in getting a deal done.
At that time, it was stated that Remmers was still undergoing therapy from a recent procedure. The New York Post reports that now Remmers has been medically cleared from minor back surgery.
Blue Big further telegraphed this blow, through bypassing immediate offensive line help in the NFL Draft. The team did draft George Asafo-Adjei (Kentucky) in the seventh-round of April’s draft.
