The Giants are signing former Titans first-rounder Isaiah Wilson to the practice squad (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport). Despite his turbulent Tennessee tenure, the offensive tackle could be a tremendous value addition for the G-Men.
Wilson auditioned for the Giants on Tuesday and showed enough to earn a spot on the 16-man taxi squad. Of course, the NFL had higher hopes for him last year when the Titans made him the No. 29 overall pick in the draft.
The Titans traded Wilson to the Dolphins after a four-snap rookie season. Then, he ran into extensive off-field trouble as a rookie and encountered more this year, with a January arrest involving a high-speed chase leading the Dolphins to cut bait as well.
The Giants could certainly use Wilson’s help up front with Nick Gates and Shane Lemieux are out for the season. If Wilson impresses in practice, he might be able to support former Georgia teammate Andrew Thomas and veteran Nate Solder on the outside.
They brought the Brooklyn kid home.
Honeslty hope the guy can get his life on track. Glad he hopefully realized his mistake now and not when it was too late
Could be our best signing. Can he run an out route? Getty has to go, we are a laughing stock. Time for another tear down.
It was obvious in Carolina that he wasn’t a good gm. I guess he’s a Giant’s kind of guy like Judge. Lol
Good signing. Low risk, high reward. Hopefully being around the man who recruited him to Georgia, Rob Sale, and being around his friends Andrew Thomas and Azeez will keep him on the straight and narrow.
It’s only a good signing if he actually makes it into games. I like that they grabbed him, though it is totally out of desperation. Would love it if he plays and contributes.
