The New York Giants had issues at their cornerback position when Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen assumed control of the franchise. They inherited Adoree’ Jackson, a sticky man-coverage cornerback that fits the aggressive system of Wink Martindale. However, there was an impending void opposite Jackson.
James Bradberry had a Pro Bowl season for the Giants in 2020. His 2021 campaign was also respectable. Still, the cap-strapped neophyte general manager had to part ways with the talented cornerback, which saved the Giants $10.1 million against the 2022 cap. Bradberry’s departure put an onus on second-year third-round pick Aaron Robinson.
