The New York Giants officially signed Michael Thomas on Monday. The former Miami Dolphins safety becomes the seventh newest member of New York’s defense and the fourth defensive back to sign with the franchise this offseason.
The G-Men had signed cornerbacks Teddy Williams, Curtis Riley, and B.W. Webb prior to Thomas.
Gettleman is clearly putting an emphasis on depth. It makes sense given Big Blue’s injury-riddled campaign in 2017.
But while Williams, Riley, and Webb provide depth, Thomas has the potential to compete for a starting role.
