Giants to sign veteran offensive lineman

Jermaine Eluemunor is set to sign with the Giants, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports. 

Working as a starting tackle and guard in Las Vegas at points over the past three years, Eluemunor will receive a considerable raise on his most recent Raiders contract. Eluemunor could give the Giants an option at guard, but the veteran spent last season at right tackle.

The former fifth-round pick spent time in Baltimore and New England before his stint with the Raiders. He’s started 45 of his 87 career appearances, with 31 of those starts coming over the past two seasons.

Eluemunor finished this past season ranked 36th among 81 qualifying offensive tackles, per Pro Football Focus, with the site slightly favoring his run-blocking prowess over his pass-blocking ability. 

Pro Football Focus liked him even more in 2022, with the lineman barely missing a top-20 ranking at his position.

The Giants have been busy adding to their offensive line after allowing 85 sacks last season, the second-highest total in league history. 

The team agreed to a deal with former Packers starter Jon Runyan Jr. earlier on Monday, and they could be in the market for even more depth with both Ben Bredeson and Justin Pugh hitting free agency.
