The Giants made three big free agent additions to their

 defense in the 2016 offseason and they may only have cornerback Janoris Jenkins left on the roster in 2019.Defensive tackle Damon Harrison was traded to the Lions last year and there are multiple reports that the team has discussed trading Olivier Vernon. Vernon Womens Corey Ballentine Jersey , who moved from defensive end to outside linebacker last year, has two years left on his contract with cap hits of $19.5 million each year.The Giants can clear $11.5 million of that space by parting ways with him and they could be searching for a trade partner in hopes of getting compensation for a player rather than just releasing him.Whether others are clamoring to pick up that contract is unclear. Vernon has 22 sacks and four forced fumbles over the last three seasons, but missed nine games due to injury and his price tag may be prohibitive unless the group of free agent edge players continues to dry up.Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham signed an extension Friday and other players like DeMarcus Lawrence, Frank Clark and Jadeveon Clowney could be headed for franchise tags before Tuesday’s deadline.

The Giants used the pick acquired in the trade of Odell Beckham Jr. to select EDGE Oshane Ximines out of Old Dominion. Ximines has solid size for an EDGE at 6-foot-3 1⁄2 and 253 pounds and is a solid, if unspectacular, athlete.He was productive at Old Dominion, racking up 176 tackles (51 for a loss), 32.5 sacks Authentic Corey Ballentine Jersey , 12 passes defensed, and 11 forced fumbles over four years (49 games) in college. Ximines has a reputation as a high-motor technician as a pass rusher, relying more on his hand usage and pass rush moves to beat blockers than his athleticism. Ximines’ first step isn’t great, but he can be quick once he gets moving. He is also an edge player who can set an edge in the run game.The Giants desperately needed an infusion of talent at the EDGE position even before trading away Olivier Vernon and Ximines is a start at filling that hole. Ximines isn’t as exciting a pick as one of the elite top-end EDGE rushers would have been in the first round, but he presents a solid value on the Big Blue View big board, graded as a second-round talent.There is still talent on the board Lawrence Taylor Jerseys 2019 , such as Alabama’s Christian Miller or Oregon’s Justin Hollins, for the Giants to double-down on the position should they so choose.
