Back on July 23 the New York Giants made the move to sign Connor Barwin and add a veteran EDGE player to their revamped defense.
Barwin has played in a variety of defenses in his 10-year career, playing in both 3-4 and 4-3 defenses for the Houston Texans, Philadelphia Eagles, and Los Angeles Rams. His signing was with the understanding that the Giants would be getting an experienced player and steady veteran to help ease the transition for some of their younger players, such as Lorenzo Carter and Avery Moss.
