Giants boost pass rush with Barwin signing

Free-agent pass-rusher Connor Barwin announced Monday that he's agreed to terms with the New York Giants.

Barwin signed a two-year worth up to $5 million, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Barwin made his name with the divisional rival Philadelphia Eagles, racking up 31.5 sacks from 2013-16, including a 14.5-sack campaign in 2014.

The 31-year-old spent the 2017 season with the Los Angeles Rams and proved he can still be a solid contributor by producing five sacks and 34 combined tackles.

Barwin should help a Giants defense that's flipping to a 3-4 scheme in 2018, as he's experienced playing outside linebacker. He should back up starters Olivier Vernon and rookie Lorenzo Carter.
