With the November 3 trade deadline coming up, the New York Giants and teams around the NFL will begin selling or buying players to either bolster their squads or add capital for the 2021 NFL draft.
After losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in week seven, it seems as if the Giants are set on being sellers, having already traded OLB Markus Golden to the Arizona Cardinals for a sixth-round pick. Head coach Joe Judge carried some essential knowledge over from New England, convincing general manager Dave Gettleman to place a free agent tender on Golden.
Essentially, they were on the hook for 110% of his 2019 salary, and less than halfway through the 2020 season, the Giants elected to trade him, essentially buying an additional draft pick.
