On Tuesday afternoon, the New York Giants finalized their 53-man roster, making some intriguing decisions along the way. One area that drew particular attention was the linebacker unit, featuring Cam Brown, Carter Coughlin, Micah McFadden, Bobby Okereke, and the recently acquired Isaiah Simmons.
The Giants traded for Simmons, an athletic marvel, sending a seventh-round draft pick to the Arizona Cardinals and absorbing $1 million of his 2023 salary. Simmons boasts the ability to play multiple positions but has found it challenging to secure a regular role in recent seasons. While the Giants aim to maximize his skill set, his arrival marks the departure of a former draft pick.
