NFL free agency 2024: Xavier McKinney still hopeful of return to Giants

It was reported earlier this week that the New York Giants would not be tagging veteran safety Xavier McKinney, which means he will become an unrestricted free agent on March 13th. As a result, he will likely be searching for a new team to play for in 2024.

McKinney, 24, was the Giants' second-round pick in 2020 and completed his rookie deal following the 2023 season.

The soon-to-be free agent appeared on the 'Up & Adams' show this morning with Kay Adams to discuss free agency, not getting tagged, and the Giants.

After choosing not to place the franchise tag on star running back Saquon Barkley, there was speculation that the Giants would apply the transition tag to McKinney, but ultimately, they chose not to do so.
