Giants’ top offensive line target is looking for ‘tackle’ money
The New York Giants are expected to search for free-agent offensive line support actively. Considering they’ve spent multiple drafts addressing the line in recent years, the hope is that new coach Carmen Bricillo can provide better leadership and developmental progress to some of the team’s younger talent.
Notably, John Michael-Schmitz, Evan Neal, Josh Ezeudu, and Marcus McKethan could all use significant growth. However, general manager Joe Schoen is still keen on adding talent to the line, and New England Patriots star Mike Onwenu makes perfect sense.
Onwenu is only 26 years old and is coming off a solid season with the Patriots, with 850 snaps. He has played a minimum of 658 snaps over four seasons in the NFL, putting together some elite grades at right guard and right tackle. This past campaign, he played 656 at right tackle and 194 at right guard, giving up a combined 23 pressures and three sacks. Considering he was on one of the worst teams in football, he still managed to fight through adversity and put together strong performances.
