As well as the New York Giants offensive line played in 2025, with John Harbaugh now as head coach the Giants figure to put resources into revamping that line this offseason.<\/p>\n
Could Cleveland Browns\u2019 veteran right guard Wyatt Teller be in play for New York?<\/p>\n
After seven years, three Pro Bowls, and two second-team All-Pro honors with the Browns, the eight-year veteran appears to be on his way out of Cleveland.<\/p>\n
Jared Mueller of SB Nation\u2019s Dawgs by Nature told Big Blue View that it seems \u201chighly likely\u201d the 31-year-old Teller has played his last snap with the Browns.<\/p>\n
The Giants might be in the market for upgrades on the interior of the offensive line as offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, offensive line coach Mike Bloomgren, and senior offensive assistant Greg Roman work to revamp the team\u2019s running game.<\/p>\n
Starting right guard Greg Van Roten will be 36 next season, and is a free agent. Starting left guard Jon Runyan Jr. is an adequate player, but the Giants could save $9.25 million against the cap by cutting him this offseason.<\/p>\n
It is fair to wonder if Bloomgren, who coached the offensive line in Cleveland in 2025, would push for Teller to join him with the Giants.<\/p>\n
It is also fair to wonder how much Teller has left in the tank. His last All-Pro honor came in 2021, and his last Pro Bowl selection was in 2023. Calf injuries have slowed him the last two seasons, as he has missed eight games over that time period.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had a bunch of calf issues that limited him. He also had an attitude issue when Baker [Mayfield] was traded away, which seemed to sap his effort,\u201d Mueller said. \u201cSo a fresh start, good. Just not sure if the pounding has stripped him of elite skills. So, depends on the contract.\u201d<\/p>\n
Teller\u2019s Pro Football Focus grades have steadily declined:<\/p>\n
Teller\u2019s situation is reminiscent of former Giant Kevin Zeitler. One of the best guards in football since being a first-round draft pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2012, Zeitler had the two worst seasons of his career with the Giants in 2019 and 2020. Since being a salary cap cut by the Giants before the 2021 season, Zeitler has gone on to have five typically excellent seasons better than what he produced in New York.<\/p>\n
Could Teller, a 2018 fifth-round pick by the Buffalo Bills who was traded to Cleveland a year later, experience a similar resurgence at his next NFL stop?<\/p>\n
Is that a chance you would like to see the Giants, or does his recent decline and his injury issues give you pause?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As well as the New York Giants offensive line played in 2025, with John Harbaugh now as head…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":748565,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2067],"tags":[7,519,1917,56,7558,2321,2469,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-748564","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-giants","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-giants","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-giants","12":"tag-new-york-giants-free-agency","13":"tag-newyork","14":"tag-newyorkgiants","15":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116061717484780266","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748564","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=748564"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748564\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/748565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=748564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=748564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=748564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
