NFL free agency 2023 is here! The negotiating window, sometimes called the “legal tampering period” opens on Monday, March 13. Players cannot officially sign until Wednesday, March 15. How will it change the New York Giants?
The Giants have already made a number of offseason moves — most notably signing quarterback Daniel Jones and franchise tagging running back Saquon Barkley. To follow what happens during the actual free agency period, let’s track all the rumors and news in one place — right here.

Contract details on a few recent Giants signings as I board my flight to Phoenix for the owners meetings:
— Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) March 26, 2023
• WR Jamison Crowder: 1 year, $1.3M with $27,500 guaranteed (signing bonus). He can earn up to $100K in per game roster bonuses. It’s a VSB deal, so $1M cap hit.
• CB Amani Oruwariye: 1 year, $1.2M with $52,500 guaranteed (signing bonus). He’ll earn a $75K bonus if he’s on the roster for any game this season. Another VSB, so his cap hit will be $1.1M.

Forget impacting draft plans, these contracts show both players are on the bubble.
