Barwin adds much-needed depth at the position and a quality veteran presence for the Giants.

He has a strong relationship with linebackers coach Bill McGovern from their time together in Philadelphia.

He struggled as a defensive end in a 4-3 system with the Eagles in 2016, but returned to his roots as a 3-4 outside linebacker -- and was reunited with defensive coordinator Wade Phillips -- by signing a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Rams last season.
