There’s mutual interest between the Giants and free agent running back LeGarrette Blount, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). He adds that there could be a potential match between the two sides before the draft. 
Blount, at one point, had an offer on the table from the Patriots, but there’s no room for him now that Mike Gillislee is on board. The Giants, meanwhile, are looking to bolster a depth chart currently headlined by rising sophomore Paul Perkins. There are some good running backs near the top of this week’s draft, but the Giants have bigger fish to fry and would probably prefer to first address holes at offensive tackle, linebacker, and other spots.
At this stage of the offseason, the Giants might be able to sign the 30-year-old for cheap, giving them one of the league’s most productive power backs. Last year, Blount signed an incentive-laden deal with the Pats that featured a meager base salary of $760K. It’s not crazy to think that he would settle for something similar this time around.
If signed, Blount would likely split carries with Perkins while Shane Vereen serves as the team’s primary pass-catching option out of the backfield.
Spend on a veteran linemen….. Perine from Oklahoma is a great choice….???
There is some talk about a Dion Lewis trade around NE so I still wouldn’t completely count out a return. Foster will most likely get cut, Bolden is a RB in name only, and if Lewis gets traded that leaves Gillislee, Burkhead, and James White. I could see a return because White and Burkhead are passing focused guys.
And I wouldn’t be shocked to see him return next year or the year after if he gets a 1 year deal. The Pats RB situation is always so volatile. I could also see them trading Butler and a pick to NO at 11 if McCaffrey or Fournette is still around. They wouldn’t have an issue trading a back who isn’t Gillislee or Burkhead. They like White, but he’s expendable.
