Outside linebacker Markus Golden

The Giants brought Golden in on a “show-me” deal of one-year at $3.75 million and he’s outplayed expectations. Golden leads the Giants in sacks (7.5) and QB hits (17) and has played 82% of the defensive snaps this season.

Golden is just 28 years old and will garner some interest on the free agent market. If the Giants don’t bring back defensive coordinator James Bettcher, the reason Golden signed here in the first place, he may choose to play elsewhere. The best bet for the Giants if they want to keep Golden is to try to get him extended before this season ends.
