Don’t tell the Giants about the white flag raised outside their building.
After trading away their second defensive starter in as many days, the 1-6 Giants don’t believe their front office is surrendering this season and thinking only about the future.
“The giving-up-on-the-season narrative, I really think that’s disrespectful to the guys in the locker room,” coach Pat Shurmur said Wednesday evening.
The first shoe to drop came Tuesday afternoon, an off day for the Giants, when Eli Apple was traded to the Saints for a 2019 fourth-round pick and a 2020 seventh-rounder. By the time they woke up Wednesday, Damon Harrison was gone, too, sent to the Lions for a 2019 fifth-round pick.
