Giants consider contract extension for Brian Burns ahead of training camp

The New York Giants are evaluating the potential for a contract extension for linebacker Brian Burns as they prepare for training camp starting July 28. Burns, who recorded career highs last season with 16.5 sacks and 31 quarterback hits, has three years left on his current deal. The team aims to avoid a repeat of the Dexter Lawrence situation, where a key player was traded instead of extended. Head coach John Harbaugh's arrival is seen as a turning point for the franchise, prompting discussions about key players due for new contracts as the Giants look to solidify their roster for the upcoming season.
