New York Giants Offseason: Reviewing the Tight End Position

The 2017 season was a forgettable one for the New York Giants. We now turn our focus to 2018, both the upcoming offseason and ensuing regular season.

Although we’d like to put the 2017 New York Giants season as far out of our memories as possible, we must evaluate last year’s team to see what needs improving for next year (believe it or not, the answer is not “everything”).

Between now and March 14 (the official start of the new NFL league year), we will be evaluating each Giants position group to see who stays, who goes, and who could possibly be added.

There has already been a lot of turnover from 2017. Dave Gettleman is the new general manager, Pat Shurmur is the new head coach, James Bettcher is the new defensive coordinator, and plenty of position coaches have changed. There will certainly be more turnover on the way. When you go 3-13, change is inevitable.

How much change and how severe that change is will vary from position to position. Obviously, guys like Odell Beckham Jr., Landon Collins, and Damon Harrison are safe. Most of the roster, however, does not have that kind of security.

Gettleman and Shurmur will be taking in-depth scans of the entire New York Giants roster. Players who are not good enough or cause issues in the locker room will be shown the door. Other players will stick around but find increased competition for their starting spot or their successor will be brought in to eventually take their job.

This is a critical offseason for Big Blue and it should be quite eventful.

So let’s take a look at the New York Giants tight ends from 2017 and see how the position could look moving forward.
