A potential visit to the Giants on Tuesday by left tackle Donald Penn never happened — the visit was moved back to later in the week. Soon enough, it became clear the Giants were being used for leverage when Penn signed a two-year, $14 million deal to remain with the Raiders on Wednesday.

Still seeking a veteran tackle, the Giants have not given up hope they can secure Russell Okung, but there is serious competition. Okung reportedly will visit with the Super Bowl champion Broncos, who lost Ryan Harris to the Steelers.

The Steelers then dropped their offer to Okung. The Lions also are suitors and there is a chance Okung could stay in Seattle, where he has started the past six years.
