PFF Proposes Bold and Unrealistic Trade Idea for New York Giants
The New York Giants are currently experiencing a surge in offensive performance thanks to rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. However, a recent trade suggestion involving a key player has raised eyebrows.
Proposed Trade for Giants’ Key Lineman
Bradley Locker from Pro Football Focus has proposed a trade that seems unrealistic for the Giants. He suggests trading Jermaine Eluemunor, who’s been a cornerstone in the Giants’ offensive line. Despite his contract nearing its end, his departure could disrupt the team’s dynamic.
Eluemunor’s Impact on the Team
Eluemunor has consistently performed well, boasting a PFF pass-blocking grade exceeding 71.0. Over 760 opportunities, he allowed only six sacks, highlighting his reliability. His ability to play multiple positions enhances his value.
- Right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor
- Passed 71.0+ PFF pass-blocking grade
- Allowed just six sacks
- Experienced at left tackle and right guard
- Expiring contract
The Giants’ Offensive Strategy
The Giants aim to keep their new quarterback, Dart, healthy and progressing. The combination of Eluemunor and Andrew Thomas provides a strong front that ensures Dart stays protected.
Replacing Eluemunor could risk the stability of the offensive line. Marcus Mbow is a potential successor among the swing tackles, currently ahead of James Hudson III. However, creating a gap in the line could be detrimental this season.
Upcoming NFL Trade Deadline
The NFL trade deadline arrives on Tuesday, November 4. The Giants must weigh their need for immediate victories against the benefits of any potential trade involving key linemen. At this stage, trading present value for future benefits might not align with their urgent needs.
With their tackle duo in Eluemunor and Thomas, the Giants have a foundation to potentially reach new heights. Maintaining this unity is crucial as they aspire for success in the current season.
