Giants examine roster depth, focus on fullback role this offseason
Summary

The New York Giants are reviewing their roster as training camp approaches. With the signing of Patrick Ricard, the team is expected to emphasize a fullback in the run game, though concerns remain about depth if Ricard is injured. The Giants carried two fullbacks in 2021 but are unlikely to do so now. Kicking competition features Dominic Zvada, who has struggled with accuracy, and Ben Sauls, with both kickers needing to perform consistently to secure their spots. Jamis Winston, serving as a veteran backup to starter Jaxson Dart, is seen as valuable for the team's locker room dynamics and may be a candidate for contract extension discussions before the season begins.
