Eli Apple was just the beginning.
Giants GM Dave Gettleman did not wait long to sell off another piece of the defense, sending Damon “Snacks” Harrison to the Lions for a fifth-round pick, ESPN.com reports. It comes a day after Apple was traded to the Saints for a pair of draft picks.
The Giants landed the massive nose tackle during former GM Jerry Reese’s 2016 spending spree, prying him from the Jets with a five-year, $46.25 million deal.
Harrison has been a productive run-stuffer in the middle of the Giants defense, but was deemed expendable in this ugly 1-6 season.
