New York Giants should and better be sellers at trade deadline

Janoris Jenkins

Janoris Jenkins is first on the list to catch a plane ride out of New York. Jackrabbit has finally started to step up, but he has not lived up to the contract he was signed to. With another year on his deal, the G-Men can send him to a team in need and still fetch a decent price for him.

Jenkins currently has 32 total tackles and three interceptions. He has been a leader in the secondary for a young New York Giants team and has done his best this season to lock down opposing receivers. At this junction, however, his best value to Big Blue will be on another roster.

The Giants have young corners itching for playing time. The Giants main purpose should be to evaluate the young talent on the roster. They need to find out who has the potential to succeed at the elite level as opposed to who is a special team player or practice squad talent.

The team that most needs Jenkins is the Jacksonville Jaguars. After they traded corner Jalen Ramsey they still haven’t found a replacement. Jackrabbit would thrive with the Jags because of the defensive pressure their front seven provides. He wouldn’t be forced to cover for “nine seconds per play” and would be able to have the success that originally made him attractive to the New York Giants

Jacksonville would easily trade a third-round pick in 2020 and a seventh-round pick in 2021 for Jenkins. This move wouldn’t change the Jaguars’ draft plans in the slightest. This move would enable the Giants to have another second-day pick for 2020 to go along with their compensation pick.
