1 Player Each NFL Team Should Put on the 2023 Trade Block This Preseason [Matt Holder, Bleacher Report]
Holder listed Sterling Shepard as the player the Giants should put on the trade block. With Shepard entering the final year of his contract, this might not be a bad move for the team.
"The 30-year-old has struggled to stay healthy throughout his career, missing 34 games over the last four seasons combined. However, he has been productive when on the field with a career average of 11.2 yards per catch, including 11.8 YPC on a small sample size a year ago. He's also just two years removed from posting 656 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games."

One thing we learned about every NFL team in Week 1 of 2023 preseason: Chiefs, Patriots have secret weapons [Cody Benjamin, CBS Sports]
Benjamin says that after the preseason opener, what we learned about the New York Giants is that "They still need pass rushers".
"The G-Men added more slot receivers than they can count this offseason, but what about help for Azeez Ojulari and Kayvon Thibodeaux? The pressure off the edge was lacking against the Lions, and the depth chart isn't overly impressive beyond the projected starters."
