Johnathan Hankins Reportedly Has Been Unable to Top Giants' Offer in Free Agency
Free-agent defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins reportedly hasn't been offered more than the standing offer he has with his former team, the New York Giants, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.
Rapoport added that Hankins has been searching the market for weeks looking for a better deal, though the Giants "want an answer."
According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, Hankins is seeking "a multiyear contract and wants to make $8 million a year at minimum."

The market hasn't been keen to give him such a lucrative contract. Hankins, 24, registered 43 tackles, three sacks and a forced fumble for the Giants in 2016. But Pro Football Focus gave him a "poor" grade for his play in 2016 (h/t Dave Holcomb of FanRag Sports), and it's possible teams have come to the same conclusion.
