The news came Sunday evening when Rainey posted on his Instagram. The undrafted free agent out of Western Kentucky will join halfbacks Rashad Jennings, Shane Vereen, Andre Williams, and Orleans Darkwa in what has to be a record for RBs on a roster. Jennings, Vereen, and Williams will all be unrestricted free agents after the 2017 season.
Bringing in Rainey most likely means the Giants won’t draft Ezekiel Elliott in the upcoming NFL Draft. If two’s company and three’s a crowd, six is just a blistering migraine headache. The acquisition also has to bewilder the incumbents; what’s going through their minds?
