5 edge rushers Giants could target this offseason

The New York Giants are in need of a quality edge rusher, so here’s a look at five (plus) players they could target this offseason.

One position the New York Giants will be seeking to fill this offseason is edge rusher.

Currently, the Giants are slated to head into the 2021 season with third-year linebacker Oshane Ximines, who spent the last 13 weeks of this season on injured reserve with a shoulder injury, and fourth-year linebacker Lorenzo Carter, who suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 5, on the outside.

Kyler Fackrell was only signed to a one-year deal and will be a free agent come March should the Giants not extend him. So will defensive linemen Leonard Williams and Dalvin Tomlinson.

General manager Dave Gettleman has work to do in this area. He will likely retain Williams, as that will be a priority, but the Giants still need more at the edge rusher role.

Here are some possibilities for the pass rush next season. The landscape is not bountiful with them and the salary cap will be going down so the Giants may have to get creative here.
