1. Jabaal Sheard: He has ties to the Giants’ coaching staff, playing for the Patriots in 2015 and 2016, when he had a combined 13 sacks and 11 quarterback hits. He had 15.5 sacks the last three years for the Colts, and has played a hybrid defensive end-outside linebacker role before dating back to the start of his career with the Browns. He’s 31 and wouldn’t cost much. 2. Vinny Curry: The Giants should be looking for versatile pass rushers. Curry has the ability to play inside or outside on the defensive line — the Giants will use multiple formations — and he had his best season in 2014 (nine sacks) as part of a 3-4 defense. He was solid last year in his return to the Eagles with six sacks, too. 3. Clay Matthews: The 34-year-old still has some pass-rushing juice left in the tank. In a limited role for the Rams last year, he still had eight sacks in 13 games. Like Fackrell, Matthews was coached by Giants defensive coordinator Patrick Graham with the Packers in 2018, when Graham was the linebackers coach and run game coordinator. |
Also, can’t the Giants rescind the tender at any time and sign whoever they want?
If you could, would you sign Golden to a 3 year deal? Of course, I’m not certain what his contract should be.
At that point Golden's only two options would be return to the Giants on a one year $4.125 million dollar contract or sit out all of 2020 because the Giants own his rights.
If that's true why would the Giants sign anyone when they get Golden by default.

I doubt they would, but if he signs elsewhere before the 22nd, these might be their options

for any of these guys we should just go with the best one, so easily Golden for me.

If the guarantees were low then sure, but I can't imagine why he's sign that so I imagine that isn't doable. Its not that I don't like him, he's a solid player, hard worker and seems to be a great fit for what Judge wants to accomplish here but he isn't difference maker and at 29 years old he likely won't get better.
This^.
You wait to see if we can get Golden back on his tender, as others noted. Everything we have heard about the guy in the locker room fits Judge's type of culture. And he did have 10 sacks last year despite abysmal back 7 play.
Personally I would rather give the pass rush opportunities to a few others on the roster, but I could see the signing rational.
In no instance do I see a several year contract as the Front Office knows it needs to put to revamp the pass rush going forward, and Golden isn't a longer term piece.
Except, Matthews is 5 years older than Golden. If no golden, then fine, CM for 1 year be an option
The front needs to win the line of scrimmage and shut down the run. The back seven needs to play with cohesion and demonstrated knowledge of both their individual and unit assignments.
Win your man battle! Play to your tempo! Dictate to the offense! Get off the field on third down!
They need more talent at Edge. These players are stopgaps, nothing really to see here. Bring Golden back for a year (which they're trying to do) and see what the 2021 offseason brings for edge talent.
I do expect Judge will prepare his team much better than the last staff. Knowing what they're doing to a man will improve the unit quickly, if the talent is there.
Hope we bring him back in 2020.
Then I hope we focus on pass rushers and linebackers next off-season, because Marcus Golden, in the end, isn't the long-term solution.
I like Sheard as well but In don't think Curry has anything left in the tank.

The rest of the NFL doesn't think so. Golden didn't seem to have much of a market at all for a 10 sack guy. The book on him must be that that was an aberration.
Golden definitely earned a good contract, he picked the worst year for it. Timing is everything.
Golden had a few of what Strahan used to call “piss” sacks that inflated his total .
Golden is a hard worker who’s gotten sacks in various ways including some cheap ones. But he’s a guy you want on your team and in your locker room. I don’t think he’s worth a long term contract but 1 year at that low cost is a steal.
That would leave them with a lot of flexibility to sign another Edge or any position player.

Right now, Golden may be the best value available.

I think Clowney wanted to much and is a bit over-rated.
If we sign Golden to a reasonable one year deal so be it.
