The New York Giants set out in free agency to add some veteran experience to the offensive line, leading them to sign the versatile Jermaine Eluemunor.
Coming off a disastrous 2023 season from the offensive line, the Giants desperately need to unit to step up in 2023. They are hoping Eluemunor can be a part of that.
In naming the best-kept secret for every NFL team, Matt Holder of Bleacher Report landed on Eluemunor for the Giants.
With other offensive linemen signing $20-plus million per year contracts this spring, the Giants got excellent value for Eluemunor, who inked a two-year, $14 million deal.
That will help stabilize the offense’s pass protection issues seeing as the former Raider surrendered fewer than 30 pressures in each of the last two seasons, per PFF.
The 29-year-old also has the versatility to line up at guard or tackle and has been taking snaps on the inside during the early stages of New York’s OTAs, according to the New York Daily News, adding even more value to the team.
Currently working as the team’s left guard sandwiched between left tackle Andrew Thomas and center John Michael Schmitz, Eluemunor has the inside track for the starting role.
He has experience working all over the offensive line, but it appears the Giants want to fortify the left side as much as possible.
The Giants need several members of the offensive line to step up, and Eluemunor is right in the middle of that conversation.
