There isn’t a hint of panic in Jerry Reese’s voice or demeanor when he discussed the current state of his Giants. He doesn’t sound like he’s even the least bit worried either.

One of Jerry Reese’s first acts as GM of the Giants came in February of 2007 when he surprised many by cutting left tackle Luke Petitgout and replacing him with David Diehl.

That makes it even more remarkable that the...

There has been on inescapable truth the Giants have had to deal with for the last eight months: They were 10-1 when they lost their No. 1 receiver last November.

It’s why all the talk, rumors, reports, etc., this offseason...
