NY Giants need to lock up Markus Golden before free agency

We’ve seen it before. A team has a quality player on its own roster, yet chooses cap space and the illusion that they can land top-level targets while letting that solid player walk. The NY Giants need to be wary of this, as they have plenty of cap space but the edge-rushing market will dry up fast, with many of the elite options likely to get tagged.

Markus Golden was the heart and soul of the 2019 Big Blue defense. While that may not be saying much – as the unit was one of the worst in football – he gave 100% effort at all times, was a vocal leader that connected with younger players, and ended the year with 10 sacks.
