Brian Burns might’ve just saved Giants' season without making a single play

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen has to be feeling good right now. The job's not close to being done, but the fourth-year executive has been raked over the coals for the better part of two years for his decision-making — and rightfully so.

Saying he’s had a track record of good decisions would be generous. But through all the $160 million contract extensions and Saquon Barkley exits, there are some good moves in there as well. None might be bigger — right now at least — than the 46-year-old's bold move to trade and extend outside linebacker Brian Burns.
