Post-free agency 2021 NFL Power Rankings: Browns on rise, Raiders cratering
By Randy Gurzi
This offseason has been pretty good for the New York Giants. They lost Dalvin Tomlinson but were able to keep Leonard Williams so the defensive line will remain competitive. They also added Adoreé Jackson to the secondary, which was an underrated move.
As for the offense, they got much better. New York signed Kenny Golladay, John Ross, andKyle Rudolph. All three of those players fill needs for them, with Golladay serving as the most important piece of the puzzle in terms of building their offense.
The Giants were 6-10 last year and still nearly won the NFC East. They were also improving down the stretch and not only will they have the new starters on offense but Saquon Barkley will return as well — meaning they could be a team to watch in 2021.
Justin Herbert had a season to remember for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2020. Herbert threw for an NFL rookie record 31 touchdown passes and 4,336 yards. As a starter, he was 6-9 and should be even better this season.
The issue with the Chargers is that they haven’t done much to improve around Herbert. They added Jared Cook but he simply is a stop-gap to help replace Hunter Henry and their offensive line still needs plenty of work. They’re improving, but there’s still room to grow.
