The New York Giants placed the unrestricted free agent tender on linebacker Markus Golden in April. After going unsigned through July 22, Golden can only play for the Giants this season, and he has reported to training camp. He’ll make roughly $4.1 million in the 2020 NFL season.
Golden feels “good” about returning to North Jersey (quotes per Giants.com’s Dan Salomone).
“I feel good about being back. It’s a good place…At the end of the day, I love playing ball.”
After going unsigned for the bulk of the offseason, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reported that Golden was “motivated” by his free agency failing to gain traction.
