New York Giants trade linebacker B.J. Goodson to the Green Bay Packers

As the NFL season kicks off this week, the New York Giants are finishing their roster crunch ahead of their Sunday opener.

After waiving veteran linebacker B.J. Goodson, Big Blue dealt him in a trade to the Green Bay Packers on Monday, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. New York drafted Goodson in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft out of Clemson.
