Sleeping with the enemy: Would the Giants trade down with the Cowboys?

GM Joe Schoen with head coach John Harbaugh. | Julian Leshay Guadalupe/NorthJersey. com / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Free agency isn’t over, but we’re getting close to the point at which the New York Giants are going to have to fill some holes through the draft.

Having only three picks in the first four rounds doesn’t help. In that regard, I took note of two Big Blue View posts by Ed on Tuesday: Maybe it’s just an accident that these two headlines sat right next to each other for a while on the BBV home page…or maybe it’s a match made in heaven. If the Cowboys are looking to move up and the Giants are looking to move down, why don’t they just accomplish both in a trade with each other?

I know, never make in-division trades, they come back to bite you. In fact, though, the Giants are the only NFC East team that has not executed an in-division trade in recent years. The king of in-division NFC East trades?

Of course that would be Eagles GM Howie Roseman. In 2021, as you all undoubtedly remember, Roseman jumped the Giants by trading up with Dallas to draft Devonta Smith. Dallas wasn’t left holding the bag, though.
