3 players the New York Giants should bring back in 2021

New York Giants, Logan Ryan

2.) OLB Kyler Fackrell

Another stellar addition to the defense this off-season has been outside linebacker Kyler Fackrell. Nicknamed “The Freak,” Fackrell has 3.0 sacks and 24 combined tackles in eight games.

He only has five starts but has recorded a forced fumble and an interception, which he took for a touchdown. Fackrell fits extremely well in Graham’s scheme, containing the edge against the run but also rushing the passer adequately.

On a one-year, $4.6 million deal, I can imagine the Giants doing exactly with Fackrell as they did with Markus Golden. Hitting him with a free agent tender, which would count 110% of his salary for 2021, would help them retain a productive pass rusher.
