NFL Free Agency: 9 linebackers Giants could target

The official start to free agency is just over a week away, and these nine linebackers should intrigue the New York Giants.

Isn’t it about time the New York Giants filled their linebacker needs? The upcoming NFL Draft has many interesting prospects but the free agent market, which opens in a little more than a week, also has players that should interest general manager Dave Gettleman.

Here are nine free agent linebackers the Giants should have interest in come next Wednesday, not in any particular order.
