New York Giants Looking to Promote Sterling Shepard to No. 1 Option in 2019

The signing of slot receiver Golden Tate by the New York Giants puts Sterling Shepard’s role in jeopardy, especially if the front office is looking to extract some sort of value from him before he becomes a free agent in 2020.

Rumors of a potential trade proposition including Shepard have bubbled to the surface, as the Giants could be looking to move him to add draft capital – something they failed to do with safety Landon Collins before he eventually signed a massive deal with the Washington Redskins.

Shepard has a great skill set and is expected to earn a hefty contract in free agency next season.
