The New York Giants have officially announced the signing of veteran defensive tackle Jordan Phillips. Phillips, a former Buffalo Bills player, is expected to bolster the Giants’ defensive line, joining forces with All-Pro nose tackle Dexter Lawrence. This move addresses a critical need for depth in the Giants’ defensive interior following roster changes in the offseason.
Phillips brings a wealth of experience and familiarity with Giants’ leadership, having worked previously with general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll during their time in Buffalo. Notably, Phillips had a standout season in 2019, recording 9.5 sacks. His addition is anticipated to enhance the Giants’ defensive capabilities as they prepare for the 2024 season

Nabers has been good, but he’s also cooled own in his production since returning from a two-game absence due to a concussion. Meanwhile the Giants, who didn’t even roll the dice on a quarterback later in the draft, now have to figure out what they’re going to do. The situation is a mess.”
2. Is it a forgone conclusion that the Giants will move on from Brian Daboll after the year, or is there a good possibility he gets another chance?
”I wouldn’t say it’s a forgone conclusion that Daboll is fired, but I will say that I don’t think he’s on as solid ground as general manager Joe Schoen seems to be. I think Daboll is going to have to bring a very strong case to ownership to keep his job. And I’m not sure that he has one.
