The tight end made the 53-man roster after performing well throughout camp and preseason, though his snaps came primarily with the third team. The Giants protected him from the waiver wire despite limited opportunities, a notable decision given that 22 tight ends were drafted this year—the most in nearly 25 years (24 in 2002). The source credits GM Joe Schoen's awareness of the tight end market and notes Fidone has good tape that likely would have attracted waiver claims.
