New York Giants Trading Former Third-Round Pick to Chiefs
The New York Giants are trading a former third-round pick in a deal to the Kansas City Chiefs.
The New York Giants have acquired a late 2028 seventh-round draft pick from the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for former third-round pick Josh Ezeudu. Ezeudu, who played in 33 games and started 10 for the Giants, was a potential cut and roster bubble situation. Trading Ezeudu for a future draft pick demonstrates the Giants' confidence in their current roster, particularly their solid starting offensive line, which includes Andrew Thomas, Jon Runyan, John Michael Schmitz Jr., Francis Mauigoa, and Jermaine Eluemunor.
With head coach John Harbaugh leading the team, the Giants aim to improve their performance in the 2026 season. The defensive line, comprising Brian Burns, Abdul Carter, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Arvell Reese, is expected to significantly impact the team's performance. Burns, in particular, has an impressive track record with the Baltimore Ravens, finishing his tenure with a 180-113 record and leading the league in sacks.
The Giants also have promising offensive talent in Jaxson Dart and the duo of Cam Skattebo and Malik Nabers, who are expected to contribute to the team's offense. While Ezeudu's time with the Giants was not as successful, the trade provides the team with valuable draft capital for future selections.
