Connor Barwin isn’t going to go down in the record books as having a long career with the New York Giants. The outside linebacker who was brought in last offseason to improve the pass rush had high expectations after making the switch from the Los Angeles Rams, but after only spending one season with the team, Barwin has been released with one year left on his contract.
The contract originally had two years and was worth $3.5M. Many believed that Barwin’s role would be to help out the pass rush and support younger players such as Lorenzo Carter, but it doesn’t seem like that’s what happened.
