Is he one of our long term answers. Have we not seen the best of what he has to offer yet? I believe he is a free agent next year. What type of contract will or should we give him.
If he and Carter keep ascending, what position should we be targeting for more passrush?
I disagree....they defense is young and ascending.....
I really like what he's bringing to the table on a defense in desperate need of pass rushers. He is a piece we can build with.
i'm not sure how that works with extensions Will the affect his 2019 cap, because we don't really have anything? Anybody know?

I think only the signing bonus portion would and they could probably structure that so that it doesn't hit this years cap.
If they change coordinators, its possible they go back to a 4-3 or another scheme. Is Golden the right guy for that? I don't know.
Let's let the year play out and see what happens.
We will need to invest in pass rush regardless of his status.

extend him now then. He and Lawrence have been the best players on D
Our best bet will probably be to let him walk for a comp pick, but with all our newly found cap space I don't think we will be in the running for comp picks. We will be signing a lot of FA's this year.
Considering his injury history, he may jump at a big payday if it’s on the table. That’s the only reason I am hopeful.

You mean the guy with the strip sack that lead to Golden's TD?
He was chasing Brady around quite a bit.
They still need to spend a high pick on a pass rusher imo. Carter has shown improvement. Ximinis has shown promise. I'd still load up the position.
Smart signing by Gettlemen even if just for the comp pick.
The real big advantage is the Medical people hopefully know how much of a risk he is moving forward with that knee.
And Giants will not get a comp pick because they will be signing free agents with all their cap space.
So, basically, both Gulden and Mayo are honing their skills for other teams and increasing their price tag. They do nothing for the Giants future
I'm hopeful that he can stay healthy and be resigned. But what happened with Vernon should be a cautionary tale. Don't overspend.
You can win with players like Golden, a lot of them. We need more guys like him. I think Lawrence and Tomlinson are similar, with Lawrence of course having a rather unique profile of size and strength.
But Betcher said exactly that about Golden. He's firing 110% all the time. Nice player.
