NFL free agency: Giants hosting NT Danny Shelton on visit

The New York Giants are hosting veteran nose tackle Danny Shelton on a free agent visit Monday, per NFL insider Adam Schefter.

The 345-pound Shelton is a six-year veteran who spent last season with the Detroit Lions. If signed, Shelton could join Austin Johnson in a job-share as the Giants seek to replace — at a fraction of the cost — Dalvin Tomlinson. The Minnesota Vikings signed Tomlinson to a two-year, $21 million contract ($12.5 million guaranteed) this offseason.

Shelton was a first-round pick (12th overall) by the Cleveland Browns in 2015.
