Working out with Giants

Tanney is having a workout with the Giants this week, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 33-year-old spent the offseason in New York before being let go at roster cutdowns in September, so it makes sense the team is considering bringing him back with starter Daniel Jones (hamstring) banged up. Tanney would potentially fill the backup role behind Colt McCoy if Jones misses time as expected.

In some dictionaries, you may see Tanney's picture next to the term "journeyman". Between his entrance into the league in 2012 and his initial signing with the Giants in May of 2018, Tanney donned seven different NFL uniforms. Tanney re-signed with the G-Men in March, stabilizing what has otherwise been a career spent bouncing from city to city. He isn't expected to field snaps in a meaningful regular-season situation this year, with Eli Manning and Daniel Jones far ahead of the potential third-string options.
Tanney is known more for a 2011 trick shot video from his time at Monmouth than any of his accomplishments on the field. Building on his career total of 99 passing yards won't be easy with Marcus Mariota entrenched as the starter and veteran Matt Cassel heavily favored to win the backup job in Tennessee.
Tanney will almost certainly resume his role as Tennessee’s third-string quarterback, as his chances of beating out Matt Cassel for the backup job aren’t much better than they were last year against Zach Mettenberger. Unless starter Marcus Mariota and Cassel both get hurt, the Youtube trick-shot sensation won’t be adding to his highlight package on the field.
Some may remember Tanney for his trick shot video at Monmouth, but his YouTube fame hasn't translated to any success in the NFL. Just making the Titans roster will prove challenging with Marcus Mariota, Zach Mettenberger and Charlie Whitehurst all firmly ahead of Tanney on the quarterback depth chart.
