The New York Giants have agreed to terms with former Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Chauncey Golston on a three-year deal worth $19.5 million, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media.
Golston, 27, was a key rotational piece for the Cowboys’ defense last season, appearing in all 17 games and recording 56 tackles, 5.5 sacks, one interception, a fumble recovery, and five pass defenses. His versatility and ability to set the edge against the run make him a valuable addition to the Giants’ defensive front.
A third-round pick (No. 84 overall) by Dallas in the 2021 NFL Draft, Golston was a two-year starter at Iowa and earned first-team All-Big Ten honors in 2020. Over four seasons with the Cowboys, he played in 64 games, notching 112 tackles, 10.5 sacks, and three forced turnovers.
Golston played out the final year of his rookie contract, a four-year deal worth $4.9 million, and hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career. Now, he joins a Giants defense looking to bolster its pass rush after ranking 25th in sacks last season.
With Golston in the mix, New York adds depth to a defensive line that is losing Azeez Ojulari giving the Giants another weapon to pressure opposing quarterbacks in 2025.
