The ever-important Nov. 2 NFL trade deadline is approaching. Well, it’s important if you’re a bottom-feeder team who must sell players for draft picks or a cream-of-the-crop squad who must carry out the opposite procedure.
The Giants find themselves in the former category, but injuries have made things a bit tricky.
Safety Jabrill Peppers would’ve been a legitimate trade piece given his diminishing role; the Giants could’ve earned back a fifth-round pick at best.
A ruptured ACL along with a high-ankle sprain said goodbye to any possible deal though. Peppers suffered the injuries during Sunday’s win over Carolina, is done for the year, and has an expiring contract.
