Olivier Vernon on the market (traded to CLE) | Page 2

Giants appear to be trying to create cap space. Two years left at $19.5 mil a year. Hasn't had a double digit sack season since 2013 though.

Since 2013, only two edge defenders have racked up more quarterback hits than Olivier Vernon! pic.twitter.com/htuJv83vJo

Over the last two seasons, Olivier Vernon has been the NFL's most productive pass-rusher when lined up on the defensive right side. pic.twitter.com/rGA6UDkGVW

#NYG ED Olivier Vernon takes the #70 spot in PFF's Top 101 players from the 2018 season. Although injury limited him to only 11 games this season, he was efficient as a pass rusher with a 18.2% Win% (T-9th among EDs in '18/2nd best of his career)

Just depends on what NY is expecting back. Compensation should be minimal since it is largely a salary dump.

im a fan.

I wouldn't trade for anyone really, all these teams want to get rid of those contracts and seeing if there's a sucker out there that will bail them out and give them picks. KC with Dee Ford is the only one they would legit bring back if they can't trade. I do want Everson Griffin or Vernon if they do get released

Giants closing in on a deal to trade Olivier Vernon to the Browns, per source. Deal close now.

I do too. Would rather have the Browns do well than Steelers or the Ravens. Barring a few division titles they have not won anything of relevance in my lifetime.

He might be a viable option...if the Giants can't trade him. If they release him, he's a FA...and would be looking at significantly reduced salary. Would much rather see Lynch go after Fowler, Preston Smith or Shaq Barrett, though.

He was already traded to the Browns
