Sources: Giants LB Vernon on trade block
INDIANAPOLIS -- Teams that have communicated with the New York Giantsare under the impression they are trying to trade outside linebacker Olivier Vernon, sources told ESPN.
Vernon is set to make $15.5 million this season. His current deal has two years and $31 million remaining.
If the Giants don't get a deal, they could potentially cut Vernon after finding a replacement in free agency. They are walking a fine line. Landing a comparable player might not be so easy. Despite a strong free-agent crop of pass-rushers, most are expected to remain with their current teams, either by franchise tag or a long-term deal.
