The 2020 NFL trade deadline (Nov. 3) is nearing, and given the current state of the New York Giants — one win through seven weeks — you’d think they’d be sellers. Nonetheless, recent history involving Dave Gettleman states that may not be true.
Last year, the general manager gave the New York Jets 2020 third-round and 2021 fifth-round picks for defensive lineman Leonard Williams, a move that wasn’t exactly the most intriguing for a rebuilding organization. The trade came with reasonable backlash from Big Blue fans, given the fact that you shouldn’t be a buyer when you’re one of the bottom teams in the league — at the time, the Giants were 2-6.
