The New York Giants<\/a> have expressed interest in free agent defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers, reports ESPN’s Jordan Raanan.<\/p>\n

Franklin-Myers, who turns 30 in September, enters free agency after spending the past two seasons with the Denver Broncos<\/a>, where he recorded 14.5 sacks combined and ranked highly in pass-rush and run defense metrics.<\/p>\n

Over his seven-year NFL career\u2014starting with the Los Angeles Rams<\/a> (2018), followed by four years with the New York Jets, and his recent stint in Denver\u2014he has tallied 34.0 sacks, 200 tackles, and shown versatility as an interior pass rusher with strong run-stopping ability.<\/p>\n

Raanan predicts Myers will warrant something in the $20 million AAV range on the open market, aligning with projections like a three-year, $45-54 million deal from analysts.<\/p>\n

For the Giants, pairing him with standout Dexter Lawrence could bolster their interior defensive line, addressing needs after previous moves and underwhelming results from recent additions.<\/p>\n
