The Seattle Seahawks are the class of the NFL, and they are poised to become the NFL's first repeat Super Bowl champions since the New England Patriots accomplished the feat following the 2004 season.
The Giants desperately need help on the offensive line. With general manager Jerry Reese well aware of that, Big Blue has signed 6-foot-6, 325-pound guard Adam Snyder.
