The Giants have traded linebacker Olivier Vernon to the Browns for guard Kevin Zeitler, according to mulitple reports.
These reports come less than 24 hours after multiple reports suggested the Giants were leaning toward keeping Vernon.
The Giants signed Vernon, 28, to a five-year, $85-million deal in March 2016 after the Dolphins withdrew the transition tag they had placed on him a week earlier.
Vernon had 30 tackles and seven sacks in 11 games last season. He missed five games with an ankle injury.
Zeitler, who turned 29 on Friday, was a first-round draft pick by the Bengals in 2012.
