It wasn’t the sexy type of move we’ve all been expecting for the NY Giants, but Dave Gettleman went out and signed Blake Martinez on the first night of free agency to a three-year contract. There’s a lot to unpack with this move, so let’s get to it.
First off, even though Martinez has big-time struggles in coverage that we’ll get to, he’s surely an upgrade over Alec Ogletree. While most of us liked the Ogletree move at the time, I sincerely doubt we look back at this signing in the same way we look at Ogletree and his failures now.
