An intriguing option for the New York Giants to consider at linebacker will be on the waiver wire this week. The Houston Texans have waived veteran LB and team captain Christian Kirksey ahead of Tuesday’s 4 PM roster cut deadline. Kirksey could be a top waiver-wire target for Big Blue as they look to bolster their linebacker corps ahead of the regular season.

What could Christian Kirksey bring to the Giants?

Kirksey was a surprising cut made by the Texans on Monday afternoon. Entering his 10th season in the NFL, Kirksey is still a viable starting linebacker at this stage of his career.
