Hernandez makes the most sense
We’ve heard a couple former New York Giants express some level of interest in a reunion with their former team.
Jason Pierre-Paul said that it would be “dope” to finish his career with the team that drafted him, and Odell Beckham Jr. expressed a similar sentiment.
That got us thinking, which former Giant would the Big Blue View community like to see back with the team?
We gave you the choice between Jason Pierre-Paul, Odell Beckham Jr., Will Hernandez, and Nick Gates.
While none of the options got more than half the vote, fans definitely favored a reunion with Hernandez.

The feeling here is that Hernandez makes the most sense — at least as long as he’s recovered from the torn ACL that ended his 2024 season. Gates could be valuable depth at multiple positions, but Hernandez could easily push for a starting job.
While Hernandez didn’t take the expected step forward in his development as a Giant, he became a good starting guard as a member of the Arizona Cardinals.
The Giants may hope that Evan Neal will be able to unseat Greg Van Roten at guard. But adding Hernandez to the mix would likely ensure they could get an upgrade at the position and an answer for the next several years. They might even be able to get starting caliber depth out of the competition.
It’s unlikely that the Giants would make the move to add Hernandez, but it’s an intriguing option.
