Offseason [ ]
2011 draft board [ ]
Todd McShay (ESPN),[1] Steve Wyche (NFL.com),[2] Pat Kirwan of NFL.com, New Era Scouting, and DraftKing.com predicted that the Giants would use their first round pick to draft Gabe Carimi , a left tackle for the Wisconsin Badgers who won the 2010 Outland Trophy as the nation's top collegiate interior lineman, and was a Consensus All-American.[3] [4] [5] Charles Davis of NFL.com predicted that they would draft Mike Pouncey , a center/offensive guard from the University of Florida.[6] Despite a current work stoppage, a provision in the now-expired CBA ensures that the 2011 NFL Draft will still take place.
^[a] The Giants traded its fifth-round selection (#150 overall) and a 2012 conditional draft selection to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for RB Darius Reynaud and QB Sage Rosenfels .
^[b] Compensatory selection .
Players [ ]
Movement [ ]
In the first week of the offseason the Giants signed some road free agents and former members of their 2010 practice squad to reserve/future contracts in order to bolster the roster for the 2011 season. In early March the team signed potential free agents to contract extensions: on March 2 the team signed running back D.J. Ware to a two-year extension and on March 3 they signed wide receivers Domenik Hixon and Darius Reynaud to one and two-year extensions, respectively. They also offered tenders to some of their restricted free agents but the effectiveness of these tenders rely on the ongoing CBA talks.
