The New York Giants might not be willing to admit they are rebuilding. They are sticking with Daniel Jones this season, and there's likely to be some pressure on head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen to bring some results this season.
But this roster still has plenty of work to do before the Giants are even a factor in the NFC East. They came in at No. 30 in our power rankings and have major questions about their offensive weapons and defensive backfield.
They don't have a ton of veterans who would even be interesting trade bait. Dexter Lawrence, Kayvon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns are all part of the long-term picture. Darius Slayton would bring some value, but they can't afford to lose a receiver.
Azeez Ojulari is an interesting trade candidate who is on the younger side, though. With the Giants trading for Burns this offseason, they already have two pass-rush specialists, and Ojulari has brought diminishing returns in each of his three seasons in New York.
The 2021 second-round pick showed promise with eight sacks and 13 quarterback hits in his rookie season. However, he's only combined for eight sacks and 14 quarterback hits over the last two seasons thanks to injuries.
He only has one year on his contract. After losing snaps to Burns and Thibodeaux, it would stand to reason that he could be on the way out anyway.
Sending him to another team that needs a rotational pass-rusher to get more picks would make sense for the Giants.
