Giants sign Jordan Phillips to fill A’Shawn Robinson defensive-line void
NY Post
The Giants are casting Jordan Phillips in the role previously filled by A’Shawn Robinson.
General manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll dipped into their Bills roots Thursday and signed Phillips to provide defensive-line depth.
Phillips, 31, has started 62 of 120 games over a nine-year career that includes parts of four seasons in Buffalo.
Giants assistant director of player personnel Dennis Hickey was the Dolphins general manager who used a second-round draft pick on Phillips in 2015.
The interior defensive line arguably was the Giants’ biggest strength entering last season. Since then, the Giants traded Leonard Williams and lost Robinson — who had a quietly strong season on a one-year prove-it deal — in free agency to a big contract from the Panthers.
Adding the 6-foot-6, 341-pound Phillips should at least take some pressure off youngsters D.J. Davidson and Jordon Riley to develop at hyperspeed around All-Pro Dexter Lawrence and veteran Rakeem Nunez-Roches.
