Xavier McKinney thanks Giants fans after agreeing to deal with Packers

Xavier McKinney thanks Giants fans after agreeing to deal with Packers

Former New York Giants safety Xavier McKinney took to X on Tuesday and thanked Giants Nation for its loyalty to him over the past four seasons.

McKinney was not re-signed by the Giants and accepted a very generous four-year offer from the Green Bay Packers on Monday that is worth a reported $17 million per season, and $68 million in total.

That was a little rich for the Giants’ blood, even though McKinney had his best season in 2023 and played 100 percent of the defensive snaps.

“GIANTS nation! Thank you for an incredible 4 years,” McKinney wrote. “Always got a place in my heart for sure.”

The loss of McKinney leaves a gaping hole in the Giants’ secondary, a group that also needs help at the cornerback position.

New York has just three safeties on its roster at the moment — Jason Pinnock, Dane Belton and Gervarrius Owens — and will need to address backfilling McKinney’s role in the next few weeks.
