Giants Re-Sign Bradshaw

As teams around the NFL continue to make high-profile free agent signings, the New York Giants have gone about their business in a much quieter fashion. The re-signing of running back Ahmad Bradshaw is a testament to that approach.

After the drama that was Plaxico Burress to the Jets, the Giants faithful can breath a sigh of relief now that they know they will keep an intricate component of the Big Blue offense.

In the grand scheme of things, as much as it hurt to hear that Burress would be wearing Green this year, the Giants have greater needs than a 34 year-old wide receiver. The Giants wide receiving core is as dangerous as it needs to be with Hakeem Nicks, Mario Manningham and hopefully Steve Smith. 

With the signing of David Baas at center and now Ahmad Bradshaw, the G-Men seem to be doing all the little things that will have them ready to compete in the NFC East come September.

All that is left for the Giants to do is sign a linebacker and re-sign Steve Smith and tight end Kevin Boss. In accomplishing this the Giants will have made a succession of moves that will ensure success both this year and down the road.

The 2011 offseason may be reminiscent of 2007, a year when the Giants had very few "high profile" signings, but just as it was in 2007, this approach may be just what the doctor ordered.
