New York Giants har for nylig handlet Dexter Lawrence til Cincinnati Bengals, hvilket har gjort plads til en potentiel ny forstærkning i forsvaret. Ifølge NFL’s officielle transaktionsrapport fra tirsdag havde holdet et møde med den erfarne free agent Benito Jones, som nu overvejes som en mulig tilføjelse til den defensive linje.
Jones, der tidligere har spillet to sæsoner for Miami Dolphins, har opbygget en solid track record i NFL. I løbet af sine 31 kampe for Dolphins startede han 23 gange og nåede 39 tackles samt én sack. Hans NFL-karriere begyndte i 2020, hvor han som udraftet free agent skrev kontrakt med Dolphins. Efter seks kampe som rookie tilbragte han 2021 på praksissquadet. I 2022 blev han hentet af Detroit Lions via waivers, hvor han spillede 34 kampe og opnåede 42 tackles og 2,5 sacks.
Med sin alsidighed og erfaring fra flere NFL-hold kan Jones være den rette profil til at styrke Giants’ defensive linje. Holdet fortsætter med at evaluere mulighederne for at forbedre forsvaret efter Lawrence’ afgang.
