The Giants traded a player from an area of depth to acquire a player for an area in need of reinforcements on Monday, sending defensive tackle B.J. Hill to the Bengals in exchange for interior offensive lineman Billy Price, a source confirmed.
"He’s a guy who drew a lot of interest," Joe Judge said of Hill, a former third-round pick in his fourth NFL season. "I think he’s a starting defensive lineman in this league who was in a unique position in the room he was in."
That position was playing behind projected starters Leonard Williams, Dexter Lawrence and Austin Johnson as well as alongside veterans Danny Shelton and impressive rookie Raymond Johnson III.
