The Facts: According to NFL Network's Kimberly Jones, the Giants will pay Vereen's $500,000 roster bonus by today's deadline. He is part of their 2017 plans, a source tells Jones.

Diehards Line: Vereen tried to return from an early-season triceps tear that landed him on injured reserve, but in retrospect, he came back too quickly and retore the muscle. With Rashad Jennings moving on, a healthy Vereen could continue to contribute as a receiver behind presumptive starter Paul Perkins.
