New York Giants land former second-round defensive tackle in free agency

Error 0:

The New York Giants aren’t done making moves yet, as they signed former second-round pick in 2016, Austin Johnson, to a contract on Thursday.

Johnson has played the last four seasons with the Tennessee Titans, meaning he knows what it’s like to be on a quality unit with a great defensive coach.

The former Penn State player has familiarity with Sean Spencer (current NYG defensive line coach), who coached him during a productive bout at the University. This is a solid depth add with no big-money tied up, so they can depend on a player with experience and familiarity with the coaching staff in 2020.
