The ears of Giants players must have been ringing throughout their day off. As players enjoyed their mandatory weekly time away from the facility Saturday, Giants coaches and personnel evaluators gathered for a six-hour discussion of the roster — an extended version of a weekly conversation. There is one more scrimmage scheduled for Thursday before …

There never was — and still is not — an urgency for the Giants to do anything. They can be patient and let their pups on defense grow during a season when no one expects them to be in any kind of playoff chase. But should they decide to sign veteran Logan Ryan for their …

The Giants throughout the offseason expressed more than casual interest in cornerback Logan Ryan, engaging in multiple conversations with Ryan’s agents about him.

Jason Garrett was aware of Patrick Graham “from afar’’ but did not know him, despite their shared experience in the NFL for more than a decade. Joe Judge brought these two together as two of his top lieutenants on his first Giants coaching staff, and the professional relationship has taken off. “He’s been a real …
