Jason McCourty’s recent visit with the Giants went well, according to sources who spoke with ESPN.com’s Jordan Raanan (on Twitter). However, there are other teams in the mix, so it’s unlikely that the cornerback will put pen to paper straight away.

McCourty huddled up with former Patriots coach Joe Judge earlier this week. The deal wouldn’t just be a reunion — it’d be a homecoming for the Rutgers product, allowing him to play about an hour north of New Brunswick. McCourty spent the past three seasons with the Patriots, alongside his twin brother Devin. Now, he could spend his 13th season in New Jersey, supporting James Bradberry, Adoree’ Jackson, and defensive back Logan Ryan.
The 33-year-old (34 in August) played on 65% of the Pats’ defensive snaps and started eleven games last year. However, Pro Football Focus placed him outside of the top 75 at his position — a significant drop from 2018 (No. 6) and 2019 (No. 18) rankings.
The 33-year-old (34 in August) spent his 13th season in New Jersey, supporting James Bradberry, Adoree’ Jackson, and defensive back Logan Ryan. Then again, McCourty played on 65% of the Pats’ defensive snaps last year and started eleven games: That confused me
Yep. Not sure what that means
I still can’t figure out what was happening in that collection of words.
I think it’s supposed to say ‘The 33-year old COULD SPEND his 13th season in New Jersey….’.
What he’s trying to say is that he could spend 2021 as a New York Giant, as a backup to Bradberry or Jackson, but the fact that he played 65% of snaps last year and started 11 games means he could land a starting job somewhere else.
Correct me if I’m wrong…
This makes a lot more sense. Thanks, rct.
yeah thank you
You shouldn’t have to explain for the writer.
Yea, these MF’ers don’t proof read
Jesus this site could use an editor
I KNOW REALLY
And many, many, many other sites, as well.
Most of them are fine. Links is a mess.
Given the personnel in NYG, and the coach, the G-Men make a lot of sense. Money might the deciding factor, but as the article said, I think that starting time will be the crux of the negotiations. the Giants could offer that, but at McCourty’s age it won’t be for too long. He plays outside, and losing a step due to aging is a significant factor in determining that starting time. The Giants do now have a versatile safety/corner in Ryan that move around; if McCourty is willing to do the same, and not be a complete starter outside, I could see him gathering a lot more offers. I don’t see a team signing him to be an every snap corner on the outside at this point in his career. But the Giants do have a lot of factors that could make him make sense as a significant snap contributor opposite Bradberry in the short term.
Multiple interest but only talks about one team….. sounds more like his agent is putting ‘rumors’ out there to make him sound more appealing.
