What happened

— An overly optimistic Paulson Adebo thinks the Giants could have “three or four” No.

Why it matters

The Giants would be happy with just one player ascending to that throne, and based on the combination of experience, contract and talent, it probably needs to be Adebo who pulls away from Greg Newsome II, Deonte Banks and rookie Colton Hood to fill the hole…

Common ground

It didn’t happen last season when Adebo allowed 48 catches for 579 yards and two touchdowns over 12 games in his injury-marred first season after signing a three-year, $54 million free-agent contract.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
