NFL Free Agency 2016

[Schneed10]

Giants free agency comes from a place of panic. The GM just saw Coughlin get whacked and is out to save his job. Vernon had 6.5 sacks two years ago, and 7.5 last year. I'm also told he ranks high in QB knock downs, which basically means he is highly ranked at getting to the QB a step too late.

So basically, he's Brian Orakpo, yet the Giants gave him more guaranteed money than JJ Watt.

Derp. They got somewhat better, they added four solid players on defense (solid, not great). But they'll hit the ceiling on the cap in a few years and have to blow it all up. They have a two year window to go 9-7 or 10-6. Good job.
