Despite checking in earlier on former Cleveland Browns guard Wyatt Teller, New York made the calculated decision at that point to not spend significantly at the guard position. The Giants were said to be looking for an interior offensive lineman in the $4 million range, sources told ESPN. They were going to wait to see if some of the prices dropped on the deep crop of free agent guards.
More than a week later, they’re still waiting. Teller signed earlier this week with the Houston Texans for $8 million per year, with the potential for more. The Giants were never going anywhere near that price. Instead, they wait with guards such as Joel Bitonio, Kevin Zeitler, Greg Van Roten, Daniel Faalele and Will Hernandez still available.
