Staying in Arizona
Golden is re-signing with the Cardinals on a two-year contract, Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Arizona originally acquired Golden in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft, but he left as a free agent after a disappointing 2018 campaign. He then recorded 11.5 sacks and 33 QB hits in 23 games for the Giants before they traded him back to the Cardinals in October. Golden continued his solid play and solidified his value post-trade, with 14 QB hits, three sacks and two takeaways in nine games for the Cardinals. He struggled to stay on the field early in his career, but we've now seen…read more

Notches INT against New England
Golden registered four tackles, including a tackle for loss, one pass deflection and one interception during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: A QB hit from teammate Jordan Hicks left Cam Newton's pass fluttering in the air, allowing Golden to come away with a key turnover on the opening drive of the game. Golden has thus far recorded one sack in his four appearances since rejoining the Cardinals on Oct. 23 via a trade from the Giants. A Week 13 matchup against the Rams will be challenging from a pass rusher's perspective, as Los Angeles is tied for the fifth-fewest sacks surrendered per game this season (1.4).

Shifts to 53-man roster
Golden was activated off the commissioner's exempt list Saturday and has joined the Cardinals' 53-man roster, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: The Cardinals traded for Golden last week, but he had a roster exemption until he cleared the COVID-19 protocols. He's been cleared and will begin preparing for the Week 9 matchup against the Dolphins. The team hopes Golden will bolster the pass rush that has taken a hit with Chandler Jones (biceps) done for the year. Golden certainly appears up to the task, as he produced 10 sacks over 16 games with the Giants in 2019.

Heads to Arizona
The Cardinals have acquired Golden via trade from the Giants for a sixth-round pick, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: The Cardinals selected Golden in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft, and he played 46 games with the team over four seasons and recorded 19 sacks and six forced fumbles. The team let him walk following the 2018 season, and he signed with the Giants and racked up 10.5 sacks through 22 games before this trade. Golden will be an immediate upgrade to Arizona's pass rush that is hurting without Chandler Jones (biceps). He played for the Giants on Thursday against the Eagles, though, so he won't…read more

Brings down Wentz in loss
Golden notched one solo tackle, one sack and one quarterback hit during Thursday's 22-21 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Golden played his usual rotational role in New York's pass rush Thursday, when he managed to emerge with his first full sack of the year. The 29-year-old has only 1.5 sacks on the season, and he's averaging less than two tackles per game, so Golden is difficult to trust for fantasy purposes in IDP leagues.

Back in action
Golden (illness) was a full participant in Friday's practice, so he will play in Monday's matchup versus the Steelers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Golden missed practice Thursday but quickly returned Friday to prepare for the season opener. The 2015 second-round pick is heading into his second season with the Giants after he played 16 games with the team last season and recorded 72 tackles and 10 sacks. The Giants defense is expected to struggle in 2020, but Golden should be a dependable pass rusher nonetheless.

Managing illness
Golden did not practice Thursday due to an illness, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: Golden will have two more opportunities to retake the practice field ahead of Monday's game against the Steelers. The 29-year-old is looking to build upon the 10-sack campaign he logged for the Giants in 2019.

Signs tender with Big Blue
Golden signed his one-year, $4.125 million unrestricted free-agent tender with the Giants on Tuesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: The little-used tag allowed Golden to seek another employer, but because he didn't get another offer by July 22, he was required to stay with the Giants. Now locked in for the 2020 season, he's the leading returning sack artist for the team, having racked up 10 sacks in 16 games, which was the second time he reached double-digit sacks while playing a full slate. As for his other three campaigns -- when he didn't -- he combined for 6.5 sacks in 30 contests.

Reports to camp
Golden (illness) has reported to Giants training camp, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Before he can take part in the strength and conditioning portion of camp, Golden is required to log three negative COVID-19 tests in four days, at which point he'll take a physical and sign his unrestricted free-agent tender worth $4.125 million. For his career, he has two campaigns of double-digit sacks. As for the other three, he combined for 6.5 sacks in 30 games. After going for 10 sacks last season, Golden returns to the Giants looking to lead the team in the category for a second straight…read more

Likely sticking with G-Men
Golden likely will play out 2020 for the Giants under a seldom-used unrestricted free agent tender, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Analysis: The tender allows the Giants to keep Golden for $4.125 million if he doesn't sign a contract with another team before July 22 or the first day of training camp. With the Chiefs' and Texans' rookies reporting to camp Monday, the Giants believe Golden has officially missed his opportunity to sign elsewhere. If he doesn't want to sign the tender, his other option is to wait until Week 10 of the regular season to assess offers from other franchises. The 29-year-old pass rusher piled up 72 tackles,…read more

Given UFA tender
The Giants have placed the UFA tender on Golden, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The terms of the UFA tender dictate that Golden can only play for the Giants in 2020 if no other team opts to sign him by July 22. He notched 72 tackles (37 solo) and 10 sacks across 16 games with New York in 2019, but it remains to be seen if the team's new coaching staff wants to utilize Golden as a starter or simply a rotational pass rusher.

Wraps 2019 with 10 sacks
Golden recorded 72 tackles (37 solo) and 10 sacks across 16 contests in 2019. He also forced one fumble, which he returned for a touchdown.
Analysis: Golden bounced back convincingly in his debut season with the Giants after having been held to just 2.5 sacks with the Cardinals in 2018. He also played a full slate of 16 games for the first time since 2016. It remains to be seen if the Giants will bring back the unrestricted free agent for 2020.

Back-to-back sacks
Golden notched four tackles (three solo) and a sack in Sunday's loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Golden brought down the quarterback for the second consecutive game, moving his season total to 7.5. The 28-year-old continues to be on the IDP radar this season, racking up 47 tackles (25 solo) and a forced fumble. After playing 83 percent of defensive snaps Sunday, he'll face a tough matchup against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in Week 13.

Takes down Darnold
Golden recorded four tackles (two solo) and a sack in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: The 28-year-old now has 6.5 sacks on the season through 10 games, his second best output of his career. Golden has led all Giants linebackers in snaps so far this season, proving he's solidified himself as an important component in the Giants' defense.
