All 32 teams (including New York Giants) ranked by edge rushers
The New York Giants made a big splash this offseason, acquiring linebacker Brian Burns in a trade with the Carolina Panthers. They subsequently locked him down with a five-year, $141 million contract.
The addition of Burns gives the Giants a quality bookend for Kayvon Thibodeaux while also reducing the stress on Azeez Ojulari, who has battled injury throughout his career.
Although the Giants’ depth is a bit questionable after that, there’s little doubt general manager Joe Schoen provided a huge boost to the team’s pass rush with the addition of Burns.
Where does this group of Burns, Thibodeaux, Ojulari and others rank among the rest of the league? ESPN’s Mike Clay has a take:
