Dan Duggan, the New York Giants beat writer for The Athletic, wrote about the team’s release of cornerback James Bradberry in an article on Monday. In the article, Duggan lists the Pittsburgh Steelers as a potential landing spot.
Duggan writes that the Giants and Texans had a trade agreement in place for a late-round pick in exchange for Bradberry, but it fell apart after Bradberry and Houston couldn’t agree on contract terms and the Giants wanted a higher pick if they were to pay some of Bradberry’s salary in the deal. Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network tweeted that the two parties were over $5 million apart in salary and they aren’t expected to continue discussions even with Bradberry a free agent.
