Speculation abounded around what the New York Giants would do at the trade deadline. In particular, it was strongly anticipated that the Giants would trade edge defender Azeez Ojulari, wide receiver Darius Slayton, or both.
The argument to trade either player is that both are on expiring contracts and the Giants may not re-sign them. Trading them would guarantee a return where they may otherwise leave for nothing, which is what happened with Saquon Barkley and Xavier McKinney.
However, the trade deadline for the 2024 season came and went, and the Giants didn’t make any deals.
