Now 28, Singletary took a pay cut to stay with the Giants, improving his chances of emerging as a contributor from jump.
What will be interesting to see is how much Singletary gets to prove his worth behind Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy, and whether his style in a Greg Roman-designed power run game creates a lane for "Motor" to get more touches. I think it will, and Harbaugh has shown he is unafraid to go to different backs in a committee prior to Derrick Henry's arrival in Baltimore. The fact that the Giants have not made a move in the backfield for another veteran could be another good sign for Singletary. Undrafted rookie Damon Bankston and Turbo Miller will be the younger guys pushing for roles on the practice squad initially save for a monster preseason that would potentially change the complexion of the depth chart behind Skattebo, Tracy and Singletary.

The second question is, will the Giants keep a fourth back behind Skattebo, Tracy, and Devin Singletary, and if so, who will it be? A strong possibility at this point is Damon Bankston, who can give them better explosiveness and vision as a potential kickoff returner, but Bankston has a bit of a hill to climb to get there and will be able to do so by having a productive summer.
