3 players the New York Giants should bring back in 2021

New York Giants, Logan Ryan

3.) DL Dalvin Tomlinson

Dalvin Tomlinson has been one of the best interior defensive linemen for the Giants over the past few seasons, albeit quietly.

Tomlinson’s grades out through eight weeks at 79.4, per PFF. He is elite in run-stopping and above average in pressure. On the year, he has 1.0 sack, eight hurries, and 20 stops.

The former Alabama defender is in the final year of his rookie deal, so the Giants will have to splash some cash to retain him. Currently, he only counts $1.45 against the cap, so we can expect that number to increase to around $8 million per season. The Giants ultimately have a decision to make, do they retain Tomlinson or Leonard Williams, and the former is likely the cheaper option.
