The New York Giants were set to enter the relatively slim 2020 season in the cornerback position, but they couldn’t have prepared for what was to come.
DeAndre Baker found himself in hot water after an arrest for an alleged armed robbery in Florida, ultimately placing him on the commissioner’s exemption list, and then Sam Beal decided to withdraw from the 2020 season due to of the COVID-19 pandemic.
An already thin group has become a serious cause for concern, and with training camps underway, the giants find themselves running out of time to locate reinforcements.
We broke down similar lists earlier this year, but now is the time to start over. Here are seven cornerbacks the Giants could look to in the days, weeks and months to come.

It will look like a record broken, but Ryan is the more obvious choice for the Giants as he is arguably the best cornerback remaining in the free agent market. He has also been fairly connected to the team through rumors and speculation.
In March, Ryan praised Giants head coach Joe Judge, while Giants Wire also listed him as an under the radar free agent to be signed around the same time.
The former Rutgers and New England Patriots star is expected to feature high on the Giants’ shopping list. They need a veteran corner who knows the tricks of the trade and how to win and the connection to Joe Judge and Patrick Graham has to come into play here.
