Giants' Xavier McKinney: Will become free agent
Xavier McKinney will not receive the transition tag from the New York Giants and will become a free agent at the start of the new league year, March 13, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.McKinney's time in New York appears to be over after spending the first four seasons of his career with the squad, which selected him in the second round of the 2020 Draft.

Giants' Xavier McKinney: Perks up in second half of season
Xavier McKinney ended the regular season with 116 tackles (78 solo), including a half-sack, along with 11 pass defenses (three interceptions) over 17 contests.McKinney didn't miss a defensive snap for New York this season after being limited to just nine games last year due to a hand injury. The fourth-year safety posted a modest 43 tackles without a pick over the first eight weeks of the campaign but picked up the pace considerably after that, tallying 73 stops and three interceptions across his final nine games. McKinney chose a good time to put up career-best totals in tackles and passes defended, as he'll be looking for a nice payday in the offseason as an unrestricted free agent. The New York Giants will likely look to bring him back, but the price could be steeper than they're willing to go.
