Wink Martindale steps down as Giants defensive coordinator

As expected, some major changes are coming for the New York Giants and head coach Brian Daboll. The Giants went 6-11 this season, which no one saw coming, especialy after they made the playoffs in 2022. Come next fall, though, there will be a new defensive coordinator in town.

On Monday, it has been revealed that Wink Martindale has stepped down from his post as DC. Martindale spent two years with the Giants, but he'll now be looking for a new job.

Per multiple reports, Martindale's relationship with Daboll has been in a rough spot for a while, leading to Monday's breaking news. With his experience, you can expect Martindale to be in high demand for other squads this offseason.
