Giants GM Jerry Reese Expects Some Changes This Offseason

The New York Giants already started preparing to defend their Super Bowl title, just days after winning their second NFL title in five seasons. General manager Jerry Reese said Thursday he expects a strong core of players to return next year, but cautioned “there will definitely be some changes.” That’s no surprise considering 20 players are set to become unrestricted free agents in March. “There’s a lot of planning, a lot of discussion on guys and on salaries and where we can go and where we can’t go,” Reese said in a conference call. “It’s a lot of discussion to be had. But we’ll be ready.” Only four of New York’s starters will be free agents: tackle Kareem McKenzie, linebacker Chase Blackburn, cornerback Aaron Ross and punter Steve Weatherford. Wide receiver Mario Manningham, defensive end Dave Tollefson, defensive tackle Rocky Bernard, cornerback Terrell Thomas and safety Deon Grant are among the key players that could test free agency.
