And so, the great roster deconstruction of the 2018 continues …
This time, it is mercurial cornerback Eli Apple, who made as much news off the field as with his maddeningly inconsistent play. First-year general manager Dave Gettleman and coach Pat Shurmur were willing to see Apple through fresh sets of eyes, but they saw the same woefully inadequate and underachieving defender as the Jerry Reese-Ben McAdoo tandem.
Gone.
The Giants dealt Apple to the Saints for a fourth-round pick next year and a seventh-rounder in 2020 – little more than a ham ‘n egg sandwich when you consider that Reese took him with the 10th overall pick in 2016.
