Nice of the Giants to keep the tradition of collecting nickel corners while ignoring the boundary.

Or

D Jones is a game manager but a very good one at that

What are his numbers as a game manager? I would need to know those before I can answer the question.

Not to mince words, he is unbelievably mediocre. He can hold up for a series here or there and on a good day only get medium roasted if forced to start but he's a floor setter not ceiling raiser for the DB group. His best snaps last year (when he rotated through three teams) were actually at safety!

The New York Giants today signed free agent defensive back David Long Jr., who is entering his sixth season in the NFL.
Long, 5-11 and 196 pounds, was originally a third-round draft choice by the Rams in 2019. He spent his first four seasons with Los Angeles before playing for three teams (Raiders, Panthers, and Packers) in 2023.
Overall, Long has appeared in 66 regular-season games with 12 starts. His career numbers include 97 tackles, eight passes defensed, and an interception. He has also played in six postseason games with one start, which occurred in the Rams' victory over the Bengals in Super Bowl LVI.
