Giants re-signed LT Will Beatty to a five-year, $38.75 million contract.

The deal includes a $12.5 million signing bonus, and $19 million guaranteed. It's a nice haul for a player who finally stayed healthy last season after missing 14 combined games between 2010-11. Three days shy of his 28th birthday, Beatty allowed just three sacks and 22 hurries in 967 snaps last season. He was never expected to reach free agency. With Beatty locked up for $7.75 million annually, Branden Albert and Jake Long will both target at least $8 million a year.

USA Today's Mike Garafolo says the Giants and free agent LT Will Beatty have just "minor issues" to resolve in contract negotiations.

Speaking to Giants fans, Garafolo tweeted, "I wouldn't sweat Will Beatty's free agency. Lots of time to resolve what I'm hearing are minor issues." Beatty has long been considered New York's top free-agent priority, and it appears a deal is likely before March 12. Retaining Beatty would leave the Giants a lot more comfortable on the offensive line heading into free agency and the draft.

Giants GM Jerry Reese says there has been "some conversation" with free agent LT Will Beatty.

Beatty is the Giants' top free agent, along with Martellus Bennett, but neither is a likely option for the franchise tag. It might be wise for teams to let their free-agent offensive tackles hit the market because the talent pool is deep, therefore lowering their price tags.

Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News considers free agent LT Will Beatty an option for the Giants' franchise tag.

Vacchiano "hears" that re-signing Beatty is the Giants' highest offseason priority. The franchise number for Beatty would be about $9.7 million, but the Giants' preference is a long-term deal. Vacchiano doesn't envision the G-Men using the franchise tag at all, but Beatty would be the most likely option if the team feels it'd be a steppingstone toward an extension.

ESPN New York says re-signing impending free agent LT Will Beatty "might be the Giants’ highest priority" among in-house free agents.

Beatty and TE Martellus Bennett are the two free agents the Giants appear dead-set on keeping. Beatty, 28 in March, battled back issues last offseason, but started 15-of-16 games in 2012, grading out as Pro Football Focus' No. 12 overall tackle. He's part of a strong offensive tackle free-agent group.

ESPN New York considers LT Will Beatty the Giants' "biggest" free agent.

Despite some ongoing back woes, Beatty was solid while guarding Eli Manning's blind side in all 16 games. Turning 28 in March and entering his prime, he'll be looking for franchise left tackle kind of money. We have Beatty ranked sixth among free agent tackles, behind only Ryan Clady, Andre Smith, Branden Albert, Jake Long and Sebastian Vollmer.

Giants LT William Beatty (back) returned to practice on Monday.

"He practiced a little bit," was all coach Tom Coughlin would offer up for comment. The Giants' season opener is just eight days away, but it's looking like Beatty will be ready after missing a majority of camp.

Giants LT William Beatty is "still struggling" with his back issues.

Beatty has missed both of the Giants' preseason games, and is sounding shaky for Week 1. The Newark Star-Ledger believes RT David Diehl would shift to the blindside with Sean Locklear at right tackle if Beatty isn't ready for the regular season. Beatty's back woes date back to the beginning of the offseason.

Giants LT William Beatty (eye, back) is fully participating in training camp.

"The best remedy was time," Beatty said of the offseason back injury he suffered while weightlifting. Barring a setback, Beatty will open the season as Eli Manning's blindside protector after starting 10 games in 2011.

Giants LT William Beatty (back) says he'll be ready for the start of training camp.

Beatty's back woes slowed him throughout OTAs and minicamp, but he doesn't sound like a candidate to begin camp on the active/PUP list. That's not a guarantee his issues won't resurface, of course. Second-year pro James Brewer and journeyman vet Sean Locklear are behind Beatty on the depth chart.

Giants LT William Beatty has missed several consecutive OTA practices with a back problem.

"He has a bad back," coach Tom Coughlin said. "That has kind of slowed him down. He is improving every day. I don't know that he will make the minicamp (in June)." James Brewer is currently practicing as the Giants' starting left tackle. Beatty's injury should only be a concern if it costs him training camp time.

Giants LT William Beatty (detached retina) has been medically cleared to resume playing.

Including the playoffs, Beatty missed the Giants' final 10 games. He was inconsistent before going down, particularly in pass protection, but David Diehl was arguably worse in his absence. Set to make just $565,000 in 2012, Beatty should be back with the G-Men, probably as their starting left tackle.

Will Beatty - T - Giants

Giants placed LT William Beatty on injured reserve with a detached retina, ending his season.

Beatty was facing long odds of returning this season after undergoing surgery last Thursday. It's a big blow to a Giants line that made a struggling Saints pass rush look good on Monday evening, and again failed to get any push in the run game. For now, David Diehl will serve as Eli Manning's blindside protector. Beatty is signed cheaply through 2012, but the Giants may look for an upgrade in the draft. He was incredibly inconsistent in 10 starts.

Giants LT William Beatty will undergo surgery to repair a detached right retina Thursday, and is out indefinitely.

Beatty could end up on injured reserve, but the Giants won't have a timetable for his return until after his operation. Pro Football Focus has graded Beatty as below average at left tackle this season, so his loss shouldn't be a crippling blow for the Giants. Stacy Andrews and LG David Diehl are both candidates to protect Eli Manning's blindside during Beatty's absence.
