New York Giants: In a cruel irony, Eli Apple’s still playing

The former Ohio State Buckeye floundered with the New York Giants for 2+ seasons, before he was shipped to the New Orleans Saints for a 2019 fourth-round selection, as well as a 2020 seventh-round pick.

His trade took place part way through the 2018 NFL season. And truth be told, Apple’s absence was barely noticed – especially on the field.

The haul seemed like a lame rate of return for Big Blue general manager Dave Gettleman to receive for the former No. 10 overall selection in the 2016 NFL Draft. And quite frankly, it is pennies on the dollar, but there probably wasn’t much of a market for Apple.
