The Giants have a clear game plan coming into free agency when it comes to finances, and the players they are targeting. 

Now that we are over 24 hours into the legal tampering period, New York's latest additions of Rakeem Nunez-Roches and Bobby Okereke have confirmed two notions. 

1. Increase the strength that is the defensive line by adding depth.  
2. Address the off-ball linebacker position. 

So what do these signings mean for the future? Let's peek behind the curtain at what's to come the rest of this week and how these signings fit. 

While awaiting the financial details of Okereke's contract, we know that Nunez-Roches has signed a very friendly deal, particularly as it relates to the 2023 cap. 

That means that the team can still add depth at corner and maybe even receiver should one fit the finances.

Jakobi Meyers was the first receiver off the free agent board, signing with the Las Vegas Raiders as reported by Ian Rapoport.

Now, you're probably thinking, what does this have to do with New York?

Meyers was largely viewed as one of, if not the best wide receiver in the class, meaning an APY of $11 million could very well be the ceiling on what free-agent pass catchers sign for this year. 

Suddenly, this keeps New York in play for a perimeter threat, with the lot of them still free to sign. 

Among the FA WRs this year:

Jakobi Meyers
JuJu Smith-Schuster
Adam Thielen
Allen Lazard
Odell Beckham Jr
Darius Slayton
DJ Chark
Parris Campbell
Mecole Hardman
Marvin Jones
DeAndre Carter
Jarvis Landry
Braxton Berrios
Nelson Agholor
Kenny Golladay
Julio Jones
Chosen Anderson

Outside of the first name (Meyers) the rest are unsigned as of now. 

So perhaps a Parris Campbell or Mecole Hardman comes to the Giants on an affordable deal, adding speed and deep threats. 

We will soon find out. 

As for Nunez-Roches and Okereke, the two defenders make perfect sense in the Giants defense, a ship captained by "Wink" Martindale. 

Nunez-Roches adds depth as a nose tackle, two gapping and plugging holes when Dexter Lawrence needs a breather. 

Okereke immediately becomes the best inside linebacker the Giants have had in a few seasons, a frenetic player that can roam and range with instincts and superb tackling. 

These signings won't garner you "free agency winners" in the media, but these types of moves are what you look back on when teams hoist Lombardi trophies.
