Janoris Jenkins secretly knew Giants wouldn’t trade him

Janoris Jenkins didn’t make a birthday wish to stay with the Giants.

He didn’t have to.

In his first comments since the NFL trade deadline passed Tuesday without the Giants shipping him elsewhere, Jenkins told The Post he knew more about his future than he initially let on.

“I knew what was going on,” Jenkins said. “I had a conversation with somebody. They had already let me know. That’s why I wasn’t even worried about it too much.”

Jenkins seemed to be punching his ticket out of town last week when he told the Giants not to “beat around the bush” and let trade rumors continue to circulate for the second straight season.
