NY Giants: Gettleman being open to trading back is a huge deal

NY Giants general manager was interviewed at the NFL Combine yesterday and stated that the team was “open for business” in regard to their willingness to trade back from the fourth-overall selection in the draft.

This is a stark contrast to Gettleman’s stance in prior years. Many NY Giants fans remain salty over Gettleman’s unwillingness to seriously entertain trade offers in 2018 when New York held the second overall pick in the draft.

Instead, Gettleman opted to draft a ‘generational’ talent at running back in Saquon Barkley, despite the fact that they were in the midst of a rebuild and could have capitalized on the massive amount of draft capital that they likely would have received for trading out of the second pick.
