I liked him - was a good over-achiever and a team-first guy.

Always made a play or two when he was in there.

Not a big loss

But they do need to address the DL in the draft.

Kerry Wynn is signing a 1-year deal with the Bengals, per source. He spent five years with the Giants and had 4.5 sacks. Versatile DL and strong special-teamer. Tied for second on team last season with 8 ST tackles. Giants were in mix but Wynn decided for fresh start in Cincy.
Seventh player

Wynn is the seventh free agent player lost
My goodness, the depth chart on Defense does not look good!  
Simms11 : 3/22/2019 4:58 pm : link
I know nothing is official yet, but the front 7 players on D are scary. BJ Hill and Tomlinson are the only two that seem to be capable starters right now. DG MUST find better Dline and LBer talent in this draft.

anyone on BBI has a "Walter Mitty" fantasy about playing for the Giants, this is definitely the year to suit up.
Wynn was a good giant  
DavidinBMNY : 3/22/2019 5:07 pm : link
Never complained, always played hard.

It's shocking how many players are signed away from this roster. 6 guys. And only 1 signed that counts against the comp formula. Wild.

If we take Haskins, I would think he's not better than 50/50 to stick.
I may be a bit rusty here

but he was that guy who was here for 5 or so seasons....

and didn't do squat other than that Texans game last year?

I know people show bias toward their own players, especially Giant fans but lol, who cares

Good for him, seemed like a high quality guy
Good luck to him.  
81_Great_Dane : 3/22/2019 5:55 pm : link
He overachieved with the Giants. Can't ask a lot more than that.
Compensation picks won't be decided until next spring  
Red Dog : 3/22/2019 6:09 pm : link
However, considering that the league is limited to a total of 32 picks and no team can get more than 4 picks, it is probable that the GIANTS will not get full comp pick value for all the guys lost as free agents again this year.

They recently lost a 7th rounder they would have otherwise had due to the 32 total pick limitation.

Also remember that the secret formula for comp picks apparently takes into account things like whether or not a guy actually makes a team, playing time, post-season honors, and other factors. A lot of this won't be determined for some time anyway. Projections by OTC and others are only their best guesses, and as we saw this year, not always correct.

I will be very surprised if the GIANTS get more than 2 comp picks next spring.

And Kerry Wynn is one guy I really did not want to see go.
I have mixed feeling about him leaving  
Bill in UT : 3/22/2019 6:30 pm : link
He was possible our best player in pre-season every year he was here, but every year that promise would disappear once the bell rang.
I liked KW  
Jim Bur(n)t : 3/22/2019 6:41 pm : link
Good depth & ST's.. High Motor. GL KW!
He was a hard worker  
Jay on the Island : 3/22/2019 7:12 pm : link
but I'm glad the Giants moved on as he wasn't a factor as a pass rusher. He did play well early in the year and appears to be a better fit as a 3-4 DE but he once again disappeared for most of the season after a couple of good games early on.

With 12 picks I expect the Giants to add at least one 3-4 OLb and DE. I think they will also use a day three pick on a nose tackle.
Good for Wynn

Time for an upgrade anyway for the Giants.

a starter in three years, than you need to go. Seems like this is whats happening in the Giant rebuild(pun intended) and hopefully will lead to a more talented roster and a better record.
Sokoli is gone.  
Red Dog : 3/22/2019 7:26 pm : link
No loss either.

They also still have Avery Moss, who was converted to an OLB and spent last year on the PS.

They are in serious need of another DE and nose tackle.
Wynn was a complete unknown

There are a few  
YANKEE28 : 3/22/2019 8:06 pm : link
veteran options available.

At the Nose you have Rodney Gunter who previously played for Bettcher in Arizona. And Caraun Reid who is from the Bronx and played for Princeton had a solid year with the Cowboys last year.

On the edge, Benson Mayowa is still out there.
Maybe it's time to give this guy a call...

I guess Bill Parcells forgot about Robbie Jones, and Jeff Hostetler.
