Fantasy Impact:
While there are a lot of big-name signings going on, this one has slipped under the radar. Richburg started every game for the Giants from 2014-2016, but suffered a concussion in Week 4 last season that forced him onto Injured Reserve. It's notable, as offensive lineman take the brunt of the hits that aren't felt through the public, but they have it worse than anyone. Taking on Richburg with a five-year commitment is taking a lot of risk, but one that could present tons of upside. He was one of the bright spots on the Giants offensive line over the last four years and should give Jimmy Garoppolo some added protection.
