Markus Golden will have to prove himself. Again.
The linebacker who led the Giants with 10.0 in sacks in 2019 when he played on a one-year deal has re-signed with the team on another one-year deal, this one reached in a slightly unorthodox manner. It’s the culmination of an odd offseason journey that saw him hit the market as a free agent in March then loosely attached to the Giants when they employed the seldom-used unrestricted free agent tender on him in April.
