NFL.com ranks the best upcoming Free Agents for the 2017 offseason:

Giants general manager Jerry Reese had a productive free agency period last year, and Reese thinks the Giants have enough resources to help the team for 2017.

In 2016, Reese and his staff orchestrated one of the most productive free agency periods in recent memory, beginning with the signing of Olivier Vernon, Damon Harrison and Janoris Jenkins. All three defenders helped turn around that side of the ball while earning All-Pro or Pro Bowl honors for the first time in their careers.

"Well, the guys that we brought in did a nice job, but it wasn't just them," Reese said at the end of an 11-5 season that produced the team's first playoff appearance since 2011. "It was guys that we have had on the team, guys that we have drafted, and it was a combination of a lot of things. It was all about the team here for us, but the guys that we brought in as free agents did a nice job for us."

Added Reese: "Obviously you can't do everything in one year, or one draft, or one free agency period. We have things that we can build on. We want to continue to build on every position and upgrade where we can, and build as strong a football team as we can, moving forward."
