The New York Giants had a busy first day of 2015 NFL Free Agency, with five mid-level to smaller signings. What will happen on Day 2? Let's take a look.
Wake up! You already missed a move!
Walter Thurmond has joined the Philadelphia Eagles. How can that be a surprise? The former Giant cornerback played for Chip Kelly at Oregon, and Kelly has been busy collecting ex-Ducks for his Eagles. Thurmond is also hurt a lot, and Kelly has been busy collecting guys like Kiko Alonso and Sam Bradford, who have also missed significant time with injuries. I have no clue what Kelly's master plan is in Philly, but whatever he is doing it sure is fascinating to watch.

Giants might sign a new safety ... and say goodbye to an old one
The Giants, and it seems like a majority of teams around the league, have reportedly been hunting for safety help. Rahim Moore is the top player left on the market, and former Kansas City Chiefs safety/corner Ron Parker has also emerged as a guy with multiple suitors. The Giants have reportedly been in on both players. The way things are going, it is hard to imagine both players not finding a new home some time on Wednesday. Will one of them land in East Rutherford?
Meanwhile, we know that the old man who used to patrol one of the safety positions for the Giants -- Antrel Rolle -- has been visiting the Chicago Bears. Could Rolle be taking his walker, his Geritol and his silver tongue and shuffling down the road to Chicago? We'll see.
More bargain-hunting
The Giants could use help on the defensive line, at both tackle and end. They have been linked to players like Dan Williams and Adrian Clayborn, but nothing has come of those rumors. I would expect the Giants to continue sifting through the bargain bin for defensive line help.
More shopping for offensive line help also would not be shocking. The Giants brought in Marshall Newhouse on Tuesday, but he seems more like a depth signing rather than a guy who would be penciled in as a starter right away. The biggest name left among offensive tackles is Joe Barksdale, formerly of the St. Louis Rams.
Guards on the market include Justin Blalock (Bengals) and Shelly Smith (Dolphins). The Giants had interest in Smith a year ago. Both are veteran players who could be stop-gap solutions along the line.
