The 2016 offseason was an offley expensive, yet successful free agency for the New York Giants, but how did their signings rank in regards to their impact on the 2016 season?
The 2015 NFL season was one to forget for the New York Giants, on the defensive end especially. Surrendering 420.3 points per game, the Giants’ defense was its biggest liability ranking as the league’s worst; a big part of that was talent yes, but also injuries. With defensive ends Jason Pierre-Paul and Robert Ayers missing eight and four games each, as well as cornerback Prince Amukamara and middle linebacker Jon Beason missing five and 11 games of their own, the Giants’ defensive unit was plagued by injuries all year long.
