Xavier McKinney News
Free-agent safety Xavier McKinney is signing a four-year, $68 million deal with the Green Bay Packers, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. McKinney spent four seasons with the New York Giants after being selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. New York reportedly wanted to bring him back, but the two sides could not agree on terms. The 24-year-old has racked up 279 tackles, 1.5 sacks, nine interceptions, and 29 passes defended in his first 49 games. He will replace Darnell Savage in Green Bay, who is expected to sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Impending free agent safety Xavier McKinney was not franchise-tagged by the New York Giants ahead of 2024 free agency, but the two sides are still "trying to figure something out," according to McKinney. The 2020 second-round pick has racked up 279 tackles, 1.5 sacks, nine interceptions, and 27 passes defended in 49 career games in New York. Although the two sides are still trying to reach a deal to bring him back, Jordan Raanan of ESPN said it seems they have not been close. If the team can not re-sign McKinney before the start of the legal tampering period on Monday, March 11, he will be free to negotiate with any of the other 31 franchises.
The New York Giants didn't use a transition tag on safety Xavier McKinney by the deadline on Tuesday, so he will hit the free-agent market next week, according to sources. The 24-year-old former second-round pick in 2020 out of Alabama had a career-high 116 tackles (78 solo), half a sack, three interceptions, 11 passes defensed, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in 17 starts for the G-Men last year. In his four seasons in the NFL, he's racked up 279 tackles (180 solo), 1.5 sacks, six tackles for loss, nine interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 27 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 49 games (46 starts). McKinney will be extremely attractive on the open market this offseason for teams looking to improve their secondary.
