The Facts: Via Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, the Giants have re-signed three of their exclusive rights free agents, including Tye.

Diehards Line: They also retained tight end Matt LaCosse and defensive tackle Robert Thomas, but informed fullback Nikita Whitlock and wide receiver Ben Edwards they would not be offered contracts. Tye started 10 games last year, and had a solid 48 receptions for 395 yards and a touchdown. The Giants still probably need to add a tight end to the depth chart, after letting Larry Donnell know they weren’t interested in bringing him back.
