    There probably won’t be a reunion for the Giants and free-agent linebacker Markus Golden.  Golden's asking price has reportedly scared away the Giants — and other teams — leaving him in no-man’s land in the latter stages of free agency, reports Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.  After notching 10 sacks for the Giants in 2019, Golden likely expected big offers in free agency. However, it sounds like he’ll...2020
