The Giants have a brand new second-most-experienced cornerback.
Fabian Moreau, who has 76 profession video games performed with 34 begins, was signed to the follow squad Monday, the Giants introduced. Moreau compiled 181 tackles and 6 interceptions over 4 seasons with Washington and one with the Atlanta Falcons earlier than he was launched final month by the Houston Texans.
With Adoree Jackson locked in as one beginning cornerback, the Giants are hoping second-year professional Aaron Robinson seizes the job on the opposite facet of the sphere. That didn’t occur in coaching camp, when Robinson was focused by opposing quarterbacks and penalty-flag-throwing officers.
Darnay Holmes had an amazing summer season enjoying within the slot, and versatile rookie Cor’Dale Flott’s growth was slowed by damage. The remainder of the depth chart might be a revolving door till coordinator Wink Martindale finds reliable choices for his man-to-man protection scheme.
By placing Moreau, 28, on the follow squad in the beginning, the Giants might use one among their two weekly game-day elevations on him Sunday in opposition to the Tennessee Titans. Assuming he lives as much as his resume, Moreau then might be elevated to the 53-man roster as quickly as Week 2.
Conserving him off the lively roster in Week 1 permits the salary-cap-strapped Giants to keep away from totally guaranteeing Moreau’s wage for the season. The identical loophole is probably going into consideration with veteran security Tony Jefferson, who was signed to the follow squad final week.
