Running back Shane Veeren had a lot of options in free agency. The market is usually big for good players coming off a championship, per csnne.com.
Vereen fielded a number of offers from NFL teams but quickly decided the Giants were the best fit for him.
“There were other offers, but I felt like this was the right fit for me. I felt like this was the right place for me. And I haven’t looked back yet,” Vereen said. “It’s been a learning process, but it’s been fun. I couldn’t even tell you [how many offers I had] because it all happened so fast. Free agency opened and then by about noon West Coast time I was going to be a Giant. It happened so quickly, so I don’t even know if there was much thought process. There were a couple offers, but once I head the Giants were interested, I was very interested as well.”
Vereen rushed for 391 yards and two touchdowns for the Patriots last season.
