Injury and opportunity are the driving forces of a NFL, and as a victim within the former and blessed while using latter, linebacker Aaron Curry is often a member of the Manhattan Giants—for now.
Curry finalized a one-year deal truly worth $780, 000 to join Big Blue, according to Spotrac, as he looks to salvage being labelled as a bust.
Curry hasn't lived as much being picked fourth overall pick with the Seattle Seahawks in this year's draft, and the 27-year-old comes into Giants minicamp fresh shut off a knee injury which limited him to just two games along with the Oakland Raiders in 2012.
The Wake Forest product was a can't-miss commodity five long ago, but according to Michael Eisen of Giants. com, this team's official website, like Giants general manager Jerry Reese right now puts it, Curry can be a "we'll see" addition.
He was the fourth pick in the draft a few years ago, so obviously we think bigger some talent. We had him graded high long ago. We'll see what transpires this spring with him or her.
He passed the physical for people like us and had a top notch workout. We think we have a good opportunity for him here to work out if he can reinvent himself slightly and bring something to the present linebacking corps.
There's a lot of "if's" surrounding the ex-Seahawk together with ex-Raider, and joining an already overcrowded Giants linebacking core while wanting to rebound from knee troubles, far from guarantees Curry a spot when the team fails camp.
The Giants already have a linebacker who hasn't panned out to be what he was purported to be—the ninth overall pick in the 2008 NFL draft, Keith Canals.
Who's to say that you will have room for Curry over the final roster? He's already commencing to garner the bust older.
Mark Herzlich, Spencer Paysinger and Jacquian Williams are also starving to assert themselves, and the addition associated with a one-time fourth overall pick will fuel that desire a lot more.
While it's yet to remain seen who is a winner of this linebacking circus, the loser might become defensive coordinator Perry Fewell.
Fewell showed an failing to draw up numerous schemes last season, so what's he about to draw up when this six best linebackers are typically average on a good day?
In the terminate, the Giants took a very low financial risk on Curry, but making the teams' last roster will be one of several toughest obstacle he'll will need to face—the comeback.
