Big Move: Giants Add Experienced Guard Greg Van Roten To Roster

The New York Giants have signed offensive lineman Greg Van Roten to a one-year deal worth up to $3 million. Van Roten played right guard next to the Giants' current starting right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor last season, which raises the question of whether he will continue in that role with the Giants. This signing could potentially allow Jon Runyan to move to left guard, where he prefers to play.

Van Roten's reunion with offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo, who coached him last year in Las Vegas, is notable. Under Bricillo's guidance, Van Roten had his best season, earning a Pro Football Focus grade of 75.3. To provide context, Andrew Thomas, the Giants' top lineman, had a grade of 76.1. This acquisition strengthens the Giants' offensive line and brings experience and familiarity to the team's coaching staff and scheme.
