So far this offseason, New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman hasn’t signed any of the flashy big-name free agents. Instead, he’s adding solid veterans to team-friendly contracts who can help the team rebuild from the 9-23 record during his tenure as Giants GM.
Gettleman used this same philosophy when it comes to Daniel Jones‘ backup. To fill the role, the Giants signed 10-year veteran Colt McCoy to a one year contract worth $1.5 million.
With the retirement of Eli Manning, it was pivotal to find a capable backup in case Jones goes down with an injury.
