The Giants are signing cornerback Leonard Johnson, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets. The move comes hours after the team auditioned fellow corners Alterraun Verner and Zack Sanchez. 
Johnson played for the Panthers during GM Dave Gettleman’s time in Carolina, which might explain the move. Johnson didn’t fill up the stat sheet in that 2016 season, but he did appear in ten games. Last year, he recorded 51 tackles and seven passes defensed with the Bills. He appeared in 15 games in 2017 and started in seven of those contests. Johnson graded out as just the 99th best corner in the NFL out of Pro Football Focus’ 120+ qualified players, but that likely doesn’t faze Gettleman, who isn’t big on analytics.
Johnson doesn’t profile as a starter, but he could sneak in as a reserve behind starters Eli Apple and Janoris Jenkins and bench corners William Gay and Teddy Williams.
He’s J.A.G. as Tuna would say.
What is J.A.G?
Just Another Guy
“Just Another Guy”
Gettleman doesn’t like analytics? That can’t be good…..
But he saves a bit by not having to buy Vaseline.
Gmen are going to have problems on defense this year. Very little depth. Not sure I understand all the hype this year. I’m a huge big blue fan but a new offensive line, receivers coming off injuries, not sure where the pass rush is coming from, plus no depth at corner. And to top it off the schedule is brutal. The NFC and AFC south are going to beat up on them. You can make the case 8 of those teams are better.
9 teams if you want to count the Jets.
Jets won’t eclipse 5 wins.
