Giants' Olivier Vernon being Shopped

Haven't seen much of him but the numbers don't exactly suggest he is elite especially for that $20M cap hit.

Teams will be trading for the 15.5M of his contract, but even that looks a bit steep.

Declining value with a price tag like that? Teams know they just need to wait for NYG to cut him.

Although considering who said it, this probably means Vernon is going to Cincy.

Vernon to the Browns

 

[Shanemansj13]

Just surprised they gave up Zeitler, they do need a pass-rusher but they must really like Corbett playing inside at guard, which makes sense they took him with a 2nd round pick last year

They flip spots in the 4th round. Browns trade up 23 spots

Dorsey has given no reason not to trust him, I guess.

Ogbah also might be better inside.

This is a slam dunk. They took Corbett in the 2nd last year for a reason. Vernon will slide back to DE and my guess is Ogbah is moved later on this month.

Yeah exactly. They have a much better pass rusher opposite of Garrett and add depth inside or they trade Ogbah. Dorsey is all about depth. Also moved up in the 4th round.

They took back $15M in Vernon. Zeitler was $12M so almost a wash. Still have a lot of money to spend and got themselves a pass rusher. I like it

Ogbah also might be better inside.

Has he ever played DT? My guess is he's probably moved, but if he can slide to DT that'd be even better. I'd still take a DT at 17.

Zeitler was pretty good but the Browns were paying him like he was the best guard. I don't think they make this trade unless they think highly of Corbett. No reason to not trust Dorsey.

He was pretty damn close. He was the highest graded guard in the run game last season, which was a major part of why the offense was successful.

Overall, I don't see him in the top 25 offensive lineman on PFF grades. His cap hit was 6th in 2018. Definitely a very good player but it doesn't add up imo

 

[Shanemansj13]

Bitonio was better and was making half of Zeitler's salary
