5. Jermichael Finley

Career Stats: 223 Total Receptions, 2,785 Yards, 20 Touchdowns

This Tight End has been a player that many analysts over the years have projected as one of the top players at his position. Though he has been playing some incredible football, some injuries suffered over the past couple seasons may scare away potential employers.

The Giants are in desperate need of a franchise tight end, but cannot afford a player like Jimmy Graham. Finley fits in perfectly with this Giants offense, and will certainly be a major consideration in the front office in a couple months.

4. Toby Gerhart

Career Stats: 1,305 Yards, 4.7 Yds Per Carry, five Touchdowns

The former Heisman Runner-Up for Stanford has been waiting for his opportunity to become a full time starter ever since being taken in the 2010 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings. Gerhart has been the backup of reigning NFL MVP Adrian Peterson, so he’ll be looking for a starting gig elsewhere this winter.

The Giants are in desperate need of a running back this offseason, and Gerhart fits the bill perfectly. His combination of speed, strength and athleticism makes him the prototypical Giants runningback. It shouldn’t cost them a whole lot to sway him to play for an organization of such prestige as the Giants.

3. Vontae Davis

Career Stats: 241 Combined Tackles, 13 Interceptions, 48 Passes Defended, 1 Touchdown

One of the most likely free agents that the Giants will go after this offseason is cornerback Vontae Davis. In his years on the Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colts, the shut down corner has propelled the once dismal Colts secondary into one of the fiercest in the AFC South.

In desperate need of cornerback depth and talent, the Giants will do everything in their power to attain Davis this offseason to pair with Prince Amukamara to create one of the most feared duos in the NFL.

2. Brian Orakpo

Career Stats: 220 Combined Tackles, 38 Sacks, one Interception, one Touchdown

Widely regarded as one of the best upcoming linebackers in the NFL, Orakpo will be looking to play for an organization to compete and win at a high level. And with a team like the Giants that do have pieces across the board, the outside linebacker could be the missing piece for this defense.

Without a question, Jon Beason is the leader of this defensive corps, and the Giants will be bringing him back for at least next year. If you add Orakpo to that linebacking corps, great things will happen, no doubt about it.

We can't forget, with his Subway commercials, that he could make a heck of a lot more money with sponsorships in the Big Apple opposed to Maryland.

1. Wesley Woodyard

Career Stats: 428 Combined Tackles, 8 Sacks, 6 Forced Fumbles, 5 Interceptions

Arguably the most talented player on this list, Woodyard would add a whole other dynamic to the Giants defense. Regarded as a Top 5 player at his position, Woodyard would provide the much needed toughness and skill the Giants haven’t seen at the outside linebacker position in years.

Also, the Giants would be willing to pay this linebacker hefty cash to bring him to New York. With his addition, the Giants would instantly become one of the top defenses in the NFC.
