The New York Giants continued on Tuesday to prepare for life after Dexter Lawrence, hosting another veteran defensive tackle for a free-agent vist.
This time it was Benito Jones, a 6-foot-1, 335-pound six-year veteran who spent the last two seasons with the Miami Dolphins.
The Giants previously hosted veteran defensive tackles Shelby Harris and D.J. Reader. They also hosted wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. this week for a visit that included a physical and a workout.
None of the veteran players have signed. It seems likely at this point that any signings would take place next week after the conclusion of the 2026 NFL Draft.
Jones, 28, has played 71 regular-season games with 38 starts for the Dolphins and Detroit Lions. He played in 14 games with eight starts last season.
Jones projects as a rotational piece on a defensive line that has lost Lawrence via trade, along with D.J. Davidson and Rakeem Nunez-Roches in free agency.
The Giants might be spending so much time assessing veteran options because the draft class is thought to have few impact defensive tackles.
