It has been obvious for some time that the New York Giants needed to find help at middle linebacker. Whether he really wanted to or not, injuries forced Jon Beason to retire. Last year's Beason stand-in, Jasper Brinkley, is an unrestricted free agent. Uani 'Unga and Mark Herzlich are not appealing options as starters at that spot.
Thursday, the Giants found an "answer," or least an experienced starting middle linebacker when they signed former Washington Redskins middle linebacker Keenan Robinson to a one-year, $3.5 million contract.
