Valentine's View: One of two things are going to happen at center, maybe both, it appears. It seems almost unfathomable at this point that the Giants won't find a way to bring Kevin Boothe back. Center also appears likely to be a draft priority.

Giants could be interested in DE Robert Ayers. League source tells me they reached out to him before Justin Tuck left #NYG

Also heard that as of late yesterday #giants still looking to re-sign Kevin Boothe. Pair him with J.D. Walton as the center combo.

The New York Giants made a late move Thursday night in NFL Free Agency, agreeing to terms with linebacker Jameel McClain. That wrapped up a day that saw the Giants lose defensive end Justin Tuck [full story] and bring back fullback Henry Hynoski [full story].
What will happen on Friday? Keep it here for all the latest news, rumors and discussion of what the Giants are doing -- and what you think they are not doing.
There is already a report this morning that offensive tackle Bruce Campbell, formerly of the Oakland Raiders and Carolina Panthers, visited with the Giants on Thursday. Campbell is a former Oakland Raiders fourth-round draft pick. He has played in 19 career games with no starts. Campbell was waived-injured last year by Carolina and played in no games last season. He had agreed to a deal with the Washington Redskins earlier this week, but failed a physical due to shoulder issues. The 25-year-old would likely compete for a job as a reserve should he join the Giants.
