While the New York Giants did improve this off-season exponentially on paper, there are still positions that remained weaned and scarce. The secondary remains young and inexperienced, and the addition of Xavier McKinney only aids that factor.

However, they brought in James Bradberry and will hopefully have DeAndre Baker in 2020, if he is exonerated from his legal issues. Nonetheless, exploring the free-agent market is something the Giants are likely doing at all times, and there are a few players that could fit the bill for them in their quest to stop the run at a high-level and play man coverage predominantly under Patrick Graham.

Here are three low-cost players the New York Giants could take a look at:

1.) CB Brandon Carr

Brandon Carr is most known for the incredible catch Odell Beckham Jr. had against him several years ago. However, Carr is historically a solid player who played for the Baltimore Ravens last year. He started in all 16 games and allowed a 54.7% completion rate against and five touchdowns. He is only one year removed from a 50% completion rate and zero TD performance.

While Carr is out of his prime, and he misses tackles frequently, he is a dependable piece the Giants could consider to compete on the back-end of the roster. Currently, they have Sam Beal as their number three option, which is a bit concerning considering his lack of action over the past two years. Carr’s experience in the NFC East would prove to be beneficial, and he might have some insight into the Dallas Cowboys’ methods. His experience with Jason Garrett as head coach could be an advantage as well.
