The New York Giants need help at the linebacker position. The fate of Blake Martinez is still uncertain after he tore his ACL in a Week 3 loss against Atlanta. If general manager Joe Schoen is attempting to discard $40 million off the cap, Martinez is a realistic option to be cut-loose in the final year of his current contract.
2020 Mr. Irrelevant Tae Crowder was the replacement; Crowder struggled to consistently read his keys and react accordingly in both run and pass phases of playing defense. Reggie Ragland is a free agent. Carter Coughlin transitioned to linebacker but only played 40 snaps after suffering an injury.
