[UPDATE 4:08 PM EDT]
The Ravens reached a four-year deal with Jacoby Jones.

Valentine's View: This one is a bummer for the Giants. Jones would have vastly upgraded their return game, and provided depth at wide receiver.

[UPDATE 2:33 PM EDT ]

[UPDATE 1:27 PM EDT]
Giants and free-agent LB Jon Beason are involved in "heated discussions", per source.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 12, 2014
Valentine's View: Stay tuned. Perhaps this means a return to the Giants is in the cards for Beason. [Update: Beason returns to Giants]

[UPDATE 12:18 PM EDT]
Not only is Giants DE Justin Tuck visiting the Oakland Raiders today but so is Giants CB Terrell Thomas.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 12, 2014
Valentine's View: Tuck, Thomas and Andre Brown? Sounds basically like a massive Raiders-Giants trade.

[UPDATE 10:35 AM EDT]
And in news that surprises no one, per @macwfnz: via @TBoneWFNZ, Carolina has had discussions with representatives for Hakeem Nicks.
— Patricia Traina (@Patricia_Traina) March 12, 2014
Valentine's View: Who didn't see that coming?

[UPDATE 10:30 AM EDT]
UFA G Shelley Smith is visiting the Giants today, source confirmed.
— Adam Caplan (@caplannfl) March 12, 2014
Valentine's View: Smith is a 26-year-old three-year veteran who played in 24 games for the St. Louis Rams over the past two seasons, starting eight. He had a -5.5 grade from Pro Football Focus in 2013. Sounds like a depth move, maybe to replace james Brewer.

The New York Giants today officially announced that placekicker Josh Brown and safety Stevie Brown have re-signed with the team.
Josh Brown made 23-of-26 field goals last season. Stevie Brown missed the 2013 season with a torn ACL. He tied for second in the NFL with eight interceptions in 2012.
The Giants also cut linebacker Marcus Dowtin.
On the rumor mill, linebacker Jon Beason is drawing interest from the Denver Broncos and defensive end Justin Tuck is visiting the Oakland Raiders.
Use this as your open thread for now to discuss all the Giants-related twists and turns.
