There’s no question the New York Giants are in search of a long-term solution at center. They currently have Spencer Pulley under contract, but they have been putting feelers out this offseason for a new face at the position.
This past month, they chose not to tender last year’s starter, Jon Halapio, who is rehabbing from Achilles surgery and would not have passed a physical (not that they can give him one at the moment). Halapio sustained the injury in the Giants’ season finale and is currently working way back into shape.
Halapio is a free agent, but likely isn’t high on many team’s wish lists. This will be the second consecutive season Halapio is intensely rehabbing an injury. Last year, he was coming off a broken leg that ended his season on Week 2.
Halapio is still just 28 and is highly regarded by general manager Dave Gettleman, but with a new coaching staff, attitudes change and it’s very likely the Giants will use one of their ten draft selections next month on a new center.
