NY Giants: NFL trade deadline stay or go | Golden Tate, Logan Ryan, more

TE Evan Engram

For all of Engram’s explosiveness in the open field, and his athleticism, this marriage simply isn’t working.

The Giants don’t seem to have a clue how to utilize Engram in Jason Garrett’s offensive scheme, have failed to get him the ball in space, and the fourth-year tight end has struggled with mental lapses and drops ever since the season-opener.

A current general manager and AFC scout both tell me that Engram’s ability is evident, and his market is likely to be strong, even if his value is only a day-three pick at this stage due to his contract and the fact that he does not play “a premium posiion.”

Regardless of what the Giants are offered, a change of scenery wouldn’t just do both parties good here, but adding a draft pick to Gettleman’s war chest and freeing up just over $6 million in cap space next season far outweigh whatever meager benefit keeping him around for the rest of this season presents.

Verdict: Trade
