Giants fill holes inexpensively through free agency
The Giants have agreed to terms with Tim Hasselbeck (three years, $2.25 million) and kick returner Chad Morton (four years, $3.9 million).
The Giants also added cornerback R.W. McQuarters. McQuarters got a three-year, $6 million contract with a signing bonus of $2 million. McQuarters, 29, is an eight-year veteran who played last season with the Lions.
The Giants also signed Cardinals safety Quentin Harris, 29. Harris is good on special teams but should only be a backup safety.

I like these moves because with the exception of defensive tackle and WLB, the Giants no longer have any obvious holes. In other words they won’t have to reach for a CB or a safety in the draft.

Once again I have to agree with you James.I like the fact that the last two years the Giants have used free agency to fill holes, thus allowing them to draft the best possible player and not have to reach for a player that could easily go in the next round. I am happy to see Will Allen go, I find him to be over rated and over paid. Sam Madison is a much better player.

I hope the Giants pass on a defensive playyer with their first draft pick. We have done a masterful job replacing those “Broke Wills” (Allen and Petersen), arguably the worst corners in the history of the NFL. I would love to see The Giants draft Sinorice MOsss with the 25th pick. We need a speedy reciever with excellent hands,Moss is that reciever. Go get him GIANTS!
