Eric Galko of Optimum Scouting reported Thursday morning that the New York Giants are among the teams interested in trading for Oakland Raiders All-Pro linebacker Khalil Mack.
There were fears about the Giants’ linebacker position as they transitioned from a defense based in the 4-3 front to one based in a 3-4 front.
Through training camp and a pair of preseason games, those fears have largely been assuaged. The Giants’ defensive front proving dominant against the run and much more adept at rushing the passer than many assumed it would be.
