Giants Seeking Another Veteran Running Back?
The New York Giants, who, after losing Saquon Barkley to the Philadelphia Eagles, signed former Houston Texans veteran Devin "Motor" Singletary, are reportedly looking to add another veteran to their running backs room.
Such a move wouldn't come as a surprise as the Giants, when they had Barkley, usually carried a veteran backup behind him, which, over the last two seasons, was Matt Breida, also a free agent.
According to an NFL Network report, Packers free agent A.J. Dillon could be in the mix at that spot. Ian Rapoport reports that the veteran is reportedly eyeing the Giants, Cowboys, and Colts as his next potential landing spots.
Dillon, who turns 26 in May, will likely leave the Packers after the team signed former Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs in free agency. Dillon, who stands 6-0 and weighs 247 pounds, averaged 4.1 yards per carry in four seasons with the Packers, who drafted him in the second round in 2020.
Last season, he rushed 178 times for 61 cards, averaging a career-low 3.4 yards per attempt but averaged 2.69 yards after contact.
The Giants have been gravitating to more of a committee approach even before losing Saquon Barkley in free agency. They are also believed to be looking to add a fullback to their ground game.
