[UPDATE 5:04 PM EDT]

Hasn't played since early 2012 due to bad ankle injury ... RT @MikeKlis: Former Broncos center JD Walton signs with NY Giants

Valentine's View: Walton started every game for Denver in 2010 and 2011. He was a 2010 third-round pick. Don't go nuts here thinking the Giants are counting on the guy to be their starting center. This is going to be a no-risk 'kick the tires' move to see if the guy has anything left in the tank.

It looks like linebacker O'Brien Schofield, who had agreed to a two-year, $8 million deal, won't become a member of the New York Giants. There had been speculation much of Wednesday afternoon that issues with Schofield's knee that cropped up during a Giants' physical jeopardized the deal, and now NJ.com's Jordan Ranaan is referring to the deal as "dead."

Schofield reportedly suffered a knee injury in 2010 at the Senior Bowl, but has had no knee issues as a pro.

Here is what else is going on with the Giants and free agency as we head into Wednesday evening.

-- Offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz (four years, $16.8 million, 6.2 million guranteed) and running back Rashad Jennings (four year, $14 million, $3 million guaranteed) have signed their Giants' contracts. Both took to social media to break the news.

Here, incidentally, is a quote from Schwartz.

New NYG Geoff Schwartz expects to start at LG & has "admired" Chris Snee. "I like structure," GS adds. "I like coaches who like structure."

One further note about Schwartz. There had been lots of speculation that he might play right tackle. That does not seem to be the case.

-- The Giants missed out on wide receiver/kick returner Jacobs Jones, who returned to the Baltimore Ravens on a four-year deal.
