The Giants have a gaping hole at free safety and would like Stevie Brown to fill it. There’s a good chance that happens soon.

There’s an offer on the table but Brown wanted to see if he could do better than the one-year deal from the Giants. Brown, according to ESPN, has attracted interest from the Cowboys, Raiders, Falcons and Titans, but those offers are not believed to be long-term financial commitments. Brown wants to return to the Giants and if he does could have a starting job waiting for him.

Brown, 27, had a rough 2014 season coming off ACL surgery that forced him to miss the entire 2013 season. Brown, re-signed on a one-year deal for $3 million, started the first three games, struggled to regain the form he showed in 2012 — when he had a team-high eight interceptions — and was benched in favor of veteran newcomer Quintin Demps. Brown was hurt by the demotion but kept his mouth shut and eventually worked his way back onto the field, starting the last four games.

Brown would provide some badly-needed experience to an-almost novice group of returning safeties. Nat Berhe, entering his second NFL season, and oft-injured Cooper Taylor will likely compete for the starting spot at strong safety opened up by the departure of the team’s most dependable defensive player, Antrel Rolle, who signed with the Bears. There is no legitimate candidate to start at free safety. Thus, Brown one more year removed from reconstructive knee surgery, is an option at makes sense for both sides.
