The New York Giants have had a very real problem on their hands in recent years with their interest in free agents and NFL draft prospects being leaked to the media.

Specifically, the team’s interest in Jack Conklin, Leonard Floyd and Garett Bolles were all leaked ahead of their pick in those respective drafts, which may have hindered their ability to land desired targets. And it’s an issue that new general manager Dave Gettleman is cognizant of.

In addition to a raft of other organizational changes, the Giants will focus on a disinformation campaign in 2018 to help prevent leaks — or at least to shroud them in other falsehoods — from reaching the front pages and dominate headlines, ESPN reports:

Be especially careful with most of what you hear out of the Quest Diagnostics Training Center this year. There might be an inordinate amount of misinformation coming from East Rutherford. The organization is extremely cognizant of what unfolded the past few years, with their interest in many of the players they coveted in the draft (Jack Conklin, Leonard Floyd and Garett Bolles to name a few) becoming public knowledge.

Already under Gettleman the Giants have been much more secretive. It’s been a noticeable change and one that undoubtedly benefits the organization.

Needless to say, Giants fans should expect an abundance of rumors to circulate once the new league year begins on March 14 and carry all the way through the draft. It will make for a fun time, but will also result in a wide range of misreporting.
