ESPN names Giants' biggest remaining roster hole and there are a couple of ways New York can address it

ESPN recently detailed the New York Giants' biggest remaining roster hole ahead of the 2025 season. 

And it's roster hole that won't be easy to fill. 

ESPN thinks the Giants need to address the tight end position due to the franchise's thin depth. 

From ESPN: Theo Johnson had a solid season for a fourth-round rookie, catching 29 passes for 331 yards and one touchdown. But the Giants need more production than that, and Johnson isn't known as a strong run blocker. New York needs depth as well, as backup Daniel Bellinger had only 14 catches for 125 yards.

This isn't a roster hole that can be easily addressed via free agency at this point in the offseason. That means that a trade would be the best way for the Giants to solidify the tight end position. 

And trades, of course, can be tricky. Finding a willing trade partner is never easy. 

There are two tight ends, however, that could be potential trade options for the Giants. 

The first is Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet. I don't think it's likely that Chicago will deal Kmet this offseason, but they could be open to the idea after selecting Michigan tight end Colston Loveland with the No. 10 overall selection. 

Kmet has cap hits of $11.6 million over the next three seasons. The Bears could be inclined to move the former Notre Dame standout to clear some cap space after drafting their tight end of the future last month.

Another option is Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts, who is entering the final season of his rookie contract. 

Pitts is a former first-round pick who hasn't been able to recreate the magic of his impressive rookie season in 2021 (68 receptions for 1,026 yards and one touchdown). 

Perhaps a change of scenery and a return to the northeast (Pitts is from Philadelphia) could be what Pitts needs in order to regain his previously elite form.
