Signing a former Philadelphia Eagles player is never a happy moment for a New York Giants fan, but when it comes in the form of linebacker Connor Barwin, it might just be. You might ask, why? And the answer is simply: He’s much more than just a player; he fits general manager Dave Gettleman’s mold perfectly.
The Giants signed Barwin to a max $5 million over two-years. Having the former Eagle and Ram is fantastic for a team that making the transition to the 3-4 defense, a scheme that Barwin is familiar with.
