Giants Sign Will Johnson

The Giants today probably surprised a lot of people by making Will Johnson a little used HBack/Fullback from Pittsburgh their first OFFENSIVE FA signing.  He'll probably be more of a fullback or the old fback roll that used to be populare in some versions of the WCO.  He can catch and block, but doesn't exactly fill a screaming need.

Btw, they are also entertaining Miami 2 down run stopping LB Kelvin Sheppard today.  This makes me worried that they really will draft Leonard Floyd and will use this guy along with Brinkley as the LB's on run downs.   We'll see what else happens.

The OL still needs help, as do the DB's.

UPDATE

The Giants also signed OL Ryan Seymour, who's just 26 but has been on the team a year plan.   Now he's got a one year deal with the Giants.  He had previously worked under Solari in San Francisco.  He probably takes over the old Dallas Reynolds role, as he's even more versatile than Dallas was.

Further, the Giants also signed C Dillon Farrell, who had been with the 49ers and probably also goes back to the days of Solari.  He'll compete for the backup spot, probably freeing Seymour to back up the other stuff.
