Ravenell off waivers and waive/injure cornerback Rico Payton. Ravenell has previous connections to both John Harbaugh and Dennard Wilson, but his addition also reinforces concerns about a defensive-tackle group already viewed as the roster’s biggest weakness.The episode examines the Giants’ projected win total, their No. 23 starting-lineup ranking and the contrast between an elite edge-rusher group and an uncertain interior defensive line. Isaiah Likely’s potential role, Darius Alexander’s development and several other possible breakout players are also discussed.The conversation then turns to three players entering critical seasons. Jalin Hyatt faces a crowded receiver room after producing only five catches last year. Jon Runyan could become a trade or cut candidate, with the Giants able to create $9.25 million in savings. John Michael Schmitz may also need to prove his long-term value before receiving a new contract.The show closes with JuJu Smith-Schuster’s upcoming wedding and his connection to Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s celebration.This is the audio from the latest live show.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsAll episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show
