New York Giants meeting with veteran DT Shelby Harris

The New York Giants are continuing to explore free-agent options to bolster their defensive line this offseason. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that the Giants have shown interest in former Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Shelby Harris and will meet with him on Tuesday. Veteran DL Shelby Harris is visiting the #Giants today, sources say.

The 11-year veteran, still going strong after playing all 17 games for the #Browns last season, is an option for John Harbaugh & Co. to add experience up front on defense. pic.

The Giants stand to benefit from adding a strong defensive tackle next to two-time second-team All-Pro nose tackle Dexter Lawrence. New York’s defense has been talented on the edges in recent years. However, the situation is ripe for the Giants to sign a quality defensive tackle.
