One of the few positives to come out of the wreckage of the New York Giants’ season-ending six-game losing streak was the acquisition and subsequent play of veteran linebacker Jaylon Smith.
The 2016 second-round pick fell out of favor in Dallas last season, got released midseason and signed with the Green Bay Packers, played only two games there before being tossed out onto the NFL scrap heap, and ended playing the final four games of the season for the Giants.
Does Smith, who turns 27 in June, deserve an opportunity to return to the Giants in 2022?
