The New York Giants are giving free-agent linebacker Kyler Fackrell a chance to show that his 2019 season wasn't as bad as the numbers suggest.
It's a one-year shot for Fackrell to prove his 10 1/2 sack season in 2018 with the Green Bay Packers wasn't a fluke.
It will cost the Giants, too. General manager Dave Gettleman has given Fackrell $4.6 million to be New York's edge rusher.
It's certainly a gamble. Fackrell's stats took a nosedive last season with the Packers. He played in 16 games and made 23 tackles, with one sack, two tackles for losses and 10 quarterback hits.
