Members of the current Giants front office know all about Bobby McCain, and Tuesday they made the defensive back the newest addition to their defense.
The plan is for McCain to compete for a starting job. He can play deep safety or line up as a nickelback, and the coaching staff will explore ways to get him on the field at both spots. In 121 NFL games , he has 11 interceptions.
McCain has also been extremely reliable and available, playing in at least 16 games in six of his eight NFL seasons.McCain is the first defensive back signed by the Giants during this year’s free agency. He likely will not be the last, as adding to the depth at cornerback was a priority.When Love signed with the Seahawks, finding more depth, and a possible starter, at safety became another need.
Love in 2022 became a full-time starter for the first time, and he was on the field 95 percent of the time , for 1,006 snaps. The Giants made him a contract offer during the bye week and kept the offer on the table following the season, but Love, one of the most engaging players on the team, went to Seattle on a two-year deal worth $12 million.
The Giants have Jason Pinnock and Dane Belton as returning safeties. McCain is now squarely in the mix.
