A Smart Addition to the Defensive Line
The New York Giants continue to reshape their roster by agreeing to terms with defensive end Chauncey Golston, formerly of the Dallas Cowboys. The move adds depth and experience to the Giants’ defensive front just in time for offseason workouts.
Golston’s Best Season Yet.
Golston, standing 6-foot-5 and weighing 268 pounds, is coming off a career-best season in 2023. He appeared in all 17 games for Dallas, starting in 13 of them—a clear sign of his growing role on the defense. During the season, he totaled 56 tackles, 5.5 sacks, five tackles for loss, five quarterback hits, and five passes defensed. He also notched his first career interception in Week 12 against Washington. This level of production marked a significant step forward in Golston’s development and demonstrated his ability to contribute effectively against both the run and the pass..
A Proven Contributor.
Over his four seasons in the NFL, Golston has appeared in 64 regular-season games, including 16 starts. During that time, he’s recorded nine sacks, 17 quarterback hits, eight tackles for loss, two fumble recoveries, and one forced fumble. He’s also played in four postseason games, bringing valuable playoff experience. The Cowboys frequently shifted Golston across the defensive front, highlighting his versatility and high football IQ. That kind of flexibility will be a key asset for the Giants as they work to strengthen their pass rush and defensive rotation in 2024. While this move might not grab national headlines, it’s exactly the kind of under-the-radar signing that can make a big impact over the course of a long NFL season.
