Giants Sign Edmunds, Strengthening Linebacker Corps

0:00On this March 9th, here's what's making headlines for the NFL. The New York Giants have signed veteran linebacker, Tremaine Edmonds, to bolster their defense. The 27-year-old was the 16th overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft by the Buffalo Bills. This move fills the gap left by releasing Bobby Ocariki and aims to steady the middle of their linebacker group. Giants' General Manager Joe Schoen has ties the Edmonds from his Bills days, making this a natural fit. Edmonds brings elite size, length, and speed that should help against the run, where the team has struggled. Fans and analysts see this as a smart upgrade, given Edmonds' athletic profile. His ability to take on blockers and flow to the ball addresses key weaknesses from recent seasons. Edmonds shines in coverage, too, with 14 career interceptions and 59 passes defenced. Over the last three years, he's held opponents to a low passer rating, and just five touchdown passes allowed in 45 starts. The Giants likely aren't finished shopping, as Darius Moasau remains the other starter.
