Offensive lineman Greg Van Roten said Thursday that a “selective” approach to free agency is what eventually led him to sign this week with the New York Giants.
“I think it was a combination of things. I had my first child at the end of December. And we’re from Long Island, so we wanted to get back home. We had offers at the beginning of free agency, but nothing really exciting or worth moving across the country again,” Van Roten told New York media. “So, we were going to be a little patient and kind of selective and I was very happy that the Giants were in the mix and so was my wife and her family and my family.
