Giants Place UFA Tender On Markus Golden
5 years agoThe New York Giants placed the rare UFA tender on defensive end/outside linebacker Markus Golden on Monday, according to a source. If Golden remains an unsigned free agent past July 22, he can only play for the Giants in 2020, who would maintain Golden's exclusive rights. The 29-year-old pass-rusher returned to double-digit sacks in 2019 with the G-Men, recording 10 sacks, 72 tackles (37 solo), 13 tackles for loss and 27 QB hits in a full 16-game season. He also recovered a fumble for a touchdown. Golden has encountered a cold free-agent market, though, so he may have to return to New York for a year or settle for a one-year deal elsewhere.
