The NFL trade deadline generally produces little in terms of excitement. Whether it be the value of draft picks, the structure of contracts or the timing of the deadline, moves are few and far between, especially with the New York Giants.
General manager Jerry Reese has never made a deal at the deadline in his 11 years on the job. He’s barely ever made an in-season deal (just once for linebacker Jon Beason in 2013).
This year the Giants (1-6) are in a different situation, with their season having already slipped away. There is no need for Reese to hold steady at this year’s deadline in hope of a miracle.
