Photo by Michael Owens/Getty Images The New York Giants bolstered their edge room by signing Chauncey Golston to a three-year, $19.5-million contract ($6.5-million average annual value). The contract is on par with the Panthers’ D.J. Wonnum and is worth slightly more than Tyree Wilson’s rookie deal (seventh pick in the 2023 NFL Draft).

Cam Ward | Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images Since I have endorsed the idea, here is what it might look like I have gone all-in on the idea that trading up to No. 1 for Miami quarterback Cam Ward is the New York Giants’ best play this offseason — even if it is not an ideal thing to have to do. So, in this week’s mock draft let’s look at a trade up to No. 1 for Ward scenario. I am usi...2025

2025
"Giants defensive line coach Andre Patterson loves players with “knockback” in their games."

2024
"One coach you can expect Zimmer to at least pursue, is current Giants defensive line coach and former co-defensive coordinator under Zimmer in Minnesota, Andre Patterson."

2023
"Defensive line coach Andre Patterson said during training camp that the team’s veteran defensive linemen quickly realized that Jordon Riley was more than a non-descript seventh-round pick, and took an interest in helping him."

2022
"According to multiple reports, Andre Patterson is joining New York as the team’s defensive line coach."

2021
"The Vikings announced the promotion of Andre Patterson assistant head coach."

2020
"Adam Zimmer, coach Mike Zimmer's son, and Andre Patterson were named co-defensive coordinators Monday for the Minnesota Vikings, and Gary Kubiak was officially named offensive coordinator."

2017
"* I caught up this week with Vikings veteran defensive line coach Andre Patterson, who had the responsibility to keep things running in Minnesota's OTA sessions while notoriously hard-charging head coach Mike Zimmer was home at his Kentucky ranch, trying to rest and recover from right eye surgery, his eighth since he suffered a detached retina last fall."

2016
"While Holmes didn't qualify for SackSEER because he wasn't invited for the combine, he led Division I football with 18 sacks at Montana in 2015 and posted a pro day workout with numbers that led Minnesota Vikings defensive line coach Andre Patterson to compare him to Pro Bowler Everson Griffen, another insanely athletic former Day 3 selection."

2015
"The only exception was Isame Faciane, who was signed as an undrafted free agent after the Vikings hired his former line coach from Florida International, assistant defensive line coach Andre Patterson."
