Source: New York Giants to hire Don 'Wink' Martindale as new defensive coordinator under Brian Daboll

The New York Giants are finalizing a deal to hire Don "Wink" Martindale as their new defensive coordinator, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Martindale was fired by the Baltimore Ravens with one year remaining on his contract last month. A source told ESPN's Jamison Hensley the move happened when Martindale and the Ravens couldn't reach an agreement on a one-year extension for Martindale through 2023.

Martindale replaces Patrick Graham on new head coach Brian Daboll's staff. Graham left the Giants last week to take the defensive coordinator job with the Las Vegas Raiders on new head coach Josh McDaniels' staff.
