Giants Trade Prized Free-Agent OL Months After Signing Him
The Jacksonville Jaguars acquired a 34-game starting O-lineman from the New York Giants, who signed him during free agency.
The New York Giants traded defensive lineman Daniel Faalele to the Jacksonville Jaguars after just four months of signing him. Faalele, a prized free-agent offensive lineman, joined the Giants in April after being expected to start as right guard. However, his tenure in New York was brief as the team drafted Francis Mauigoa and opted to make him a guard.
Faalele, a 6-foot-8, 380-pound player, joins a Jaguars team in desperate need of offensive line reinforcements, which have been plagued with injuries. The 26-year-old had been Baltimore's starting right guard for the past two seasons, accumulating 2,118 snaps and recording notable defensive stats. In Jacksonville, Faalele could potentially see immediate action at multiple positions, filling a void left by injured starters.
