Markus Golden is returning to where his NFL career commenced.
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the New York Giants have traded the edge rusher to the Arizona Cardinals. Golden began his career in Arizona when the Cardinals selected him in the second round of the 2015 draft.
The Giants have reportedly received a 2021 sixth-round pick in return.
