The last few years, the Giants stocked up on former Cardinals. That was mostly because former defensive coordinator James Bettcher had coached there, so it made sense to bring in guys who were familiar with his system and with whom he was familiar. Enter Kareem Martin, Markus Golden, Antoine Bethea, Josh Mauro, Olsen Pierre, and even Eli Penny.
Now Bettcher is gone and the Giants are no longer as interested in Cardinals. Unless they re-sign Golden, who remains a free agent, they’ll have just one of the above on their 2020 team.
