The New York Giants will report to training camp on Tuesday in East Rutherford, New Jersey and the march to an initial 53-man roster will begin.
General manager Joe Schoen, head coach Brian Daboll, and the remaining shot-callers will then have until Tuesday, August 27 to decide which of the 91 players (one on a roster exemption) are sent packing and which will land on the regular season roster.
There will be several notable camp battles and a lot of tough decisions, but some will come easy.
As of now, these 37 players appear to be locks for the 53-man roster. Whether it’s because of their draft pedigree, their current contracts or their overall talent, it’s hard to imagine any of these players being cut next month.

Daniel Jones is healthy and will start for the Giants in Week 1. One of the easiest roster locks on the team.

Devin Singletary will replace Saquon Barkley as the lead back but may be used as a part of a committee.

Tyrone Tracy may have only been a fifth round pick but the Giants won’t risk losing such a dynamic player by putting him on the practice squad.

Theo Johnson is currently on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list but should be healthy enough to start the season behind Bellinger.

Defensive coordinator Shane Bowen wants interior guys who can rush the passer and Jordan Phillips fits that bill.

Ryder Anderson may seem like an interesting “lock” but short of adding another pass rusher, the Giants will rely on him in a larger role than many may expect.

After everything it took to acquire him, Brian Burns is as much of a lock as Daniel Jones or Dexter Lawrence.

Bobby Okereke is a key for the Giants in the middle of the defense and Bowen will rely heavily on him.

The Giants lack pass rusher and even taking into consideration all the injuries in recent years, they will rely on Azeez Ojulari as a rotational piece.
