Giants Seek Run-Stuffing Defender in Free Agency

On this March 20th, here's what's making headlines for the NFL.

The New York Giants are scouting defensive linemen and free agency.

Reports say they checked in on John Franklin Myers, a top interior player who just signed

with the Tennessee Titans for over $20 million per season.

Even though he was out of their budget, it signals big blue needs help up front.

Earlier this week, ESPN's Jordan Rodden noted the Giants made that inquiry before Franklin

Myers inked his deal.

He believes they're still hunting for run-stuffing presence, possibly through free agency,

the draft, or both.

Giants fans have reason to worry about their current options.

Players like Darius Alexander and Roy Robertson Harris posted low-run defense grades last

season, far below league standards.

One name floating as a fit is DJ Reader, lately with the Detroit Lions.

He wrapped a $22 million contract in 2025 and graded 61.7 in run defense, historically

even stronger.

With the all season heating up, expected Giants to bolster that line soon, blending a veteran

signing with draft picks for real impact.
