Jordan Raanan of NJ.com reports that the Giants have interest in Eagles free agent OLB Brandon Graham, as finding pass-rush help remains a priority for New York.
Last we heard regarding Graham, Geoff Mosher reported that talks with the Eagles weren’t progressing very well and he was likely to test the open market.
Previous reports have said that Graham s targeting similar contract to the five-year, $42.5 million contract the Vikings gave to Everson Griffen last year. It’s worth mentioning that Griffen’s deal included $20 million guaranteed.
Graham, 26, played out his five-year, $21.925 million rookie contract, which included $14 million guaranteed. This season, Graham will have made a base salary of $1,670,500.
Over the course of 14 games, Graham has recorded 36 tackles, 5.5 sacks and four forced fumbles for the Eagles. Pro Football Focus has Graham rated as the No. 3 outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense this year, which is due in large part to an impressive rating as a pass-rusher.
We have Graham listed as the No. 21 player in our Top 100 Free Agents list.
