While the NFL world all but broke after the shocking Micah Parsons trade, the New York Giants quietly lost one of their 2025 draft picks to the Jets. Not to injury. Not to a waiver claim. But to proximity and a little bit of practice-squad poaching.
Seventh-round rookie Korie Black made the Giants’ initial 53-man roster. Then they got cute. They cut him a day later to make room for a banged-up corner in Rico Payton, who had been stashed on the Saints’ IR list. The plan was to re-sign the 23-year-old back on the practice squad, no harm, no foul.
