With the New York Giants losing DeAndre Baker and Sam Beal for the 2020 season, management has been scouring the free-agent market for supplemental players. Over the weekend, they reportedly signed a deal with veteran Ross Cockrell, but negotiations fell through as the deal wasn’t as sweet as anticipated. Whether it be money problems or not being guaranteed a starting job, Cockrell will take his talents elsewhere.
However, the desire to find a competitive corner was still a priority for the Giants brass. They went out and signed undrafted free agent Prince Smith, who was released by the Philadelphia eagles several days ago.
