The NY Giants are heading into the offseason with a number of huge questions on offense and in the free agent market names like Eric Decker, Ahmad Bradshaw and Jermichael Finley could be options if Hakeem Nicks leaves for another team, as they could add depth and some skill to the offense for Ben McAdoo and Eli Manning.
According to ESPN.com, safety Antrel Rolle is recruiting Finley to the Giants and this comes after he has spent time in Green Bay working under new coordinator Ben McAdoo and he also could replace Brandon Myers, who is expected to be released from his contract. Myers came in as one of the top tight ends on the market last season, but he was mostly terrible and caught just 47 passes for 522 yards and four touchdowns and did not click with Eli Manning. Finley is coming off of a neck injury and that could be a risk, but if he is cleared to play he is one of the most athletic tight ends in the league and he would be a matchup nightmare.
Bradshaw is a last ditch option if the team missed out on names like Ben Tate, Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings, as he is coming off of an injury plagued season with the Colts. Last year he rushed for just 186 yards and two touchdowns and now that the Colts have traded for Trent Richardson and he could be a veteran backup for the Giants. The team had issues running the ball last season and they likely will bring back Andre Brown, but David Wilson is a question mark after his neck injury as well. Bradshaw had his best game against the 49ers last season with 95 yards and if he is healthy, the Giants could bring him back.
If Hakeem Nicks leaves, Eric Decker could be an option to bring in, as he is expected to be on the market since the Broncos have players to lock up and the Giants could swoop in to snag him. If Nicks moves on, Decker and Victor Cruz could be a great combination for Manning and he needs an overhaul of the offensive line as well.
Rolle said he has spoken with Finley and he said that he would love to play for the Giants and it is likely that the team will void the deal for Myers. Finley was injured so his stats of 25 passes for 300 yards and three touchdowns are not as disappointing as they seem and as long as he is healthy and cleared, he could be a great option.
"He was telling me that McAdoo is a brain. He's going to keep defenses guessing, he's very smart. I just said, 'Yes!' " Rolle said. "I think our offense is going to excel in his system and Eli is going to do what he does best, which is lead our offense."
