“The Giants haven't always been players on the open market, but their free agency haul this time around has been impressive,” he wrote. “New York's revamped secondary rivals Washington's ramped-up collection of receivers as the NFC East's most improved position group.

The G-Men were solid stopping the run last season, and now have a secondary packed with potential.”
“Heading into the offseason, the Philadelphia Eagles stood out as the clear-cut favorites to repeat as division champions in 2014,” Sessler added. “Chip Kelly's bunch remain the class of the NFC East, but two division rivals have worked tirelessly to close the gap. The New York Giants have signed a whopping 15 players from other rosters since Feb. 3, a figure topped only by Tampa Bay's 17. The Redskins, meanwhile, added 13.”
