When the New York Giants signed Paulson Adebo to a three-year, $54 million deal this offseason, they weren’t just buying the guy he was in New Orleans. They were betting on the guy he could be in New York.
For most of his time with the New Orleans Saints, Adebo was stapled to the left side of the defense, not because he couldn’t move around, but because Marshon Lattimore didn’t. That’s not the case anymore. There’s no side hierarchy happening here. No “CB1 calls dibs” politics. The G-Men didn’t bring Adebo in to be a passenger — they brought him in to steer the thing.
