Although the New York Giants are open to potentially trading running back Saquon Barkley, it’s unlikely to pan out. The same can not be said for cornerback James Bradberry, however. - While at the 2022 NFL Combine in Indianapolis, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network stated that teams are expected to call the Giants and inquire about Bradberry’s availability. - Hint: He’ll be available. - - From NFL Now: While the #Giants aren't expected to trade Saquon Barkley, CB James Bradberry could be had in a trade. Teams are expected to inquire about the former big ticket FA, who is in the last year of his deal. pic.twitter.com/EoRXfLWwyy - — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 4, 2022 - - - If Bradberry is dealt, the expectations on a return aren’t that high. A mid-round pick — potentially a third — is the likely compensation. - - Surveying sources in Indy, the consensus trade value for James Bradberry is a third-round pick and Saquon Barkley is a fourth-round pick. I'm skeptical that the Giants will pull the trigger on a Saquon trade. - — Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) March 3, 2022 - - - Bradberry has a $21.86 million cap hit in 2022, and will cost the Giants $9.7 million in dead cap if he’s released. That release (pre-6/1) would save the team $12.14 million in cap space — space they can use to make other moves in free agency and the NFL Draft. - Bradberry is in the final year of a three-year, $45 million deal he signed before the 2020 season. Given the Giants’ need to create cap space, Bradberry’s days with the organization appear to be numbered. - - List - - Making the case for and against the Giants trading Saquon Barkley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
