In 2019, the New York Giants dug out their foundation in an exhaustive 4-12 rebuilding year. Now the team begins laying out its structure, with a key defensive free-agent decision in Markus Golden this summer and a franchise-defining offensive one with Saquon Barkley the following.
Golden isn't a huge name outside of Arizona and New York, the two teams he's played for in a five-year career—but he was easily the best Giants rusher in 2019. That was on a one-year, $3.75 million deal, making him a free agent this offseason.
Barkley, meanwhile, needs no introduction.
