3 free agents the Giants should avoid in the 2021 this offseason
Keep a close eye on Patrick Graham next season as a name on the rise for a head coaching job. His 3-4 defensive front finished 12th overall last season in yards allowed and were one of the best down the stretch against the run.
New York’s pass rush will need to improve. They managed a mere 40 sacks last season and only Williams tallied more than four. He’s now on the market and the Giants need more help off the edge.
Is Bud Dupree a great option? Actually, yes when looking at the scheme fit. He’s coming off two seasons in which he tallied 19.5 of his career 39.5 career sacks. His motor never stops running and his balance off the edge allows him to win multiple one-on-one pass-rushing sets.
However, he’s coming off a torn ACL suffered late last season.
What will Dupree want in 2021? On a one-year deal, he might be worth the roughly $10 million salary. If he’s looking for a multi-year plan, New York needs to pass. Buyers beware will surround a player like Dupree after a slow start and injury concerns to his career.
