Giants news: Patriots hosting former Giants guard Greg Van Roten
The former Giant looks to extend his career in New England
The New England Patriots are set to host former New York Giants guard Greg Van Roten for a workout, according to a report from Ian Rapoport. The 36-year-old Van Roten spent the past two seasons as the Giants' right guard, joining Jermaine Eluemunor from the Las Vegas Raiders. Although not an elite guard, Van Roten performed well once he became a regular in 2024, and continued that trend into 2025.
Despite his age, he remained a consistent player, starting all 34 games over the last two years with the Giants. Following the 2025 season, the Giants parted ways with Van Roten, signing Daniel Faalele while also retaining Evan Neal and Joshua Ezeudu in free agency. Initially, there was speculation that Van Roten, along with other guards like Eluemunor, could compete for the right guard spot alongside Eluemunor.
However, this changed when Dexter Lawrence demanded a trade, and the Bengals sent the 10th overall pick to New York, which resulted in Sisi Mauigoa joining the team. It remains to be seen whether the Patriots will give Van Roten a chance, but he could still serve as a valuable depth piece at guard and center.
