Shortly after franchise-tagging ex-Jets defensive lineman Leonard Williams, the Giants have emerged as a suitor for longtime Williams teammate Jordan Jenkins.
The Giants are indeed interested in Jenkins, according to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post (on Twitter). Jenkins has spent his entire career with the Jets, becoming their top edge rusher over the past two seasons.
Jenkins, 25, has posted 15 sacks over the past two seasons. While the Jets tried to acquire higher-profile outside linebackers during that time — namely Khalil Mack and Anthony Barr — they turned to Jenkins as their top sack artist.
Big Blue has been linked to Jadeveon Clowney while also being skittish about the price tag the former No. 1 overall pick will carry. Jenkins would be a more cost-efficient option, but the Giants also may lose top incumbent pass rusher Markus Golden. So, they feature multiple needs at outside linebacker.
The Giants are the new Redskins…signing overpriced players.
If they are going to overpay then sign Clowney instead
