Giants Score Big Signing Veteran Logan Ryan

Expectations are not very high for the New York Giants this year, but Big Blue doesn't care what the critics think. The Giants completed a one-year $7.5 million deal with veteran corner Logan Ryan, giving the Giants much needed veteran leadership on the back-end of their defense. 

Ryan, a former Rutgers University student, played for the New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans during the first eight years of his career, will join a Giants team looking for versatility in the secondary.  

Big Blue is already without Deandre Baker who is out facing robbery charges. Sam Beal opted out due to COVID-19, and rookie Xavier McKinney fractured his foot and will miss most of the season, or 10 weeks. So to say the least the Giants needed a player, and they found one in a dependable veteran who knows what its like to play under the Bill Belichick tree. 

Last season with the Titans Ryan collected 113 tackles, 18 passes defensed and four fumbles. However his shinning moment came in last season's AFC Wild Card playoff game at New England where he picked off Tom Brady's final pass as a Patriot and ran it back for a touchdown in the Titans 20-13 victory. 

 Ryan waited a long time to find a team, contacting all 32 clubs, and at one point it appeared he was heading to the Jets before that deal broke off. 

 It is said that head coach Joe Judge plans to use Ryan in multiple formations both at safety and corner as the moment dictates, something that could be a huge boon for the Giants.
