The easy thing for the Giants to do after their worst season in 100 years would have been to blow up the roster.

General manager Joe Schoen did the exact opposite and brought back an NFL-high 91 percent of players who logged at least 30 percent of the offensive or defensive snaps, per OverTheCap.com.

Of the top eight teams in terms of retention, six notched at least eight wins in 2024.

At first glance, it sounds foolish to keep so many players who were part of a 3-14 record.
