The New York Giants should consider retaining veteran tight end Chris Manhertz, who, despite only 30 receptions in ten years, excels in blocking and special teams, having played a career-high 218 special teams snaps in 2025. His experience and affordable market value of $1.1 million for 2026 make him a valuable asset. While a younger, more versatile player could be sought, Manhertz’s skills and leadership are crucial for the team’s trench-building strategy. Keeping him allows for competition for a roster spot with minimal financial risk if cut.
