With the NFL trade deadline less than 24 hours away, several teams will be looking to improve their team or reset and look ahead as we enter the second half of the 2024 season. The NY Giants will have some tough decisions to make before November 5 at 4 p.m. ET when the deadline passes.

The G-Men are 2-7 through nine weeks and have lost their last four games. New York has also yet to defeat a divisional rival or win at MetLife Stadium this season, so it's clear Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll will be sellers at this year's deadline.

Many believe the Giants will move on from some of their veterans and target draft picks, which will benefit their future. Let's look at three Giants players who likely played their last game with Big Blue and could be traded Tuesday afternoon:

3: OL Evan Neal

The Giants' offensive line has consistently struggled season after season, and whatever the team decides to do, they need help figuring out how to improve. This past offseason, the G-Men hired new offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo and added Jon Runyan Jr., Jermaine Eluemenor, and Greg Van Roten in free agency, but according to Pro Football Network, the Giants ' offensive line was still ranked 26th entering Week 9.

Despite All-Pro left tackle Andrew Thomas suffering a season-ending injury after Week 6, the Giants have decided to use Josh Ezeudu as a starter over 2022 No. 7 overall pick Evan Neal. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, talks involving Neal are a "nonstarter" despite losing his starting job to Eluemenor at the start of the season and having served as a backup all year, even with Thomas set to miss a significant amount of time.

While it doesn't appear Neal will be moved by Tuesday afternoon; the Giants don't plan to use him this season due to his previous struggles on the field and lengthy injury history. However, you never know if a team will pick up the phone and offer for Neal, and Big Blue could part ways with the former first-round pick after two seasons with the team.
