His free-agent decision to pick the Giants over the Jets was a little more complex than just shouting, “Show me the money!”
Runyan was able to squeeze a slightly bigger contract out of the Giants, as shown on HBO’s “Hard Knocks,” when his agent Drew Rosenhaus told senior vice president of football operations Kevin Abrams that he had to “beat” the Jets’ three-year, $27 million offer.A tie would have gone to the Jets because of Runyan’s comfort level with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett from when all three were together with the Packers.
“That’s what really excited me about it. The fact that I come here and feel really wanted and welcomed has been amazing.” Giants implementing more pre-snap motion with Brian Daboll calling plays “In the end, it all worked out,” Runyan said. “The money is the money — whatever — but I really believe in what Joe, Brandon, Dabes, Carmen and everybody else is building here. I like how this team is built from top-to-bottom on the offensive side of the ball. We have playmakers all around. The offensive line is going to be really solid, I firmly believe. And we just have to give our quarterback time to make plays.
“We’re trying to build some cohesion with whatever side you’re going on,” Runyan said. “It’s tough going from left side to right side. Your whole body has to change. Everything’s just reflected and your whole eyes and feet and hands are all different. It’s nice being able to stick on one side.” Runyan played center in preseason games as a rookie and continues to work on the quarterback exchange before practices in his fifth training camp.
