There\u2019s a reason he didn\u2019t trade edge rusher Azeez Ojulari or receiver Darius Slayton at the trade deadline. Perhaps offers simply weren\u2019t sufficient, or the compensatory market may be more favorable, but New York now has a better chance of keeping these veterans around, getting first dibs at re-signing them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Schoen made sure another contributor would remain in East Rutherford just days before the start of the new league year.<\/p>\n<p>The Giants re-signed special teams captain and long snapper Casey Kreiter ahead of free agency.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Kreiter has been a captain twice before, as voted by his peers, donning the \u201cC\u201d in 2022 and 2024. In a locker room with legitimate turnover, losing running back Saquon Barkley, quarterback Daniel Jones, safety Xavier McKinney, and others in a short span, leadership becomes all the more valuable. He might not be a household name, but Kreiter\u2019s impact is apparent to those in the building every day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If his football character is his defining trait, Kreiter\u2019s durability isn\u2019t far behind. After playing 10 games in 2016, he\u2019s appeared in every possible game for the next eight seasons.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That journey began with the Denver Broncos, where he earned a bid to the Pro Bowl, but has since carried over to New York, where he has spent each of the last five seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Giants will hope that the upcoming offseason is one of significant change.
