Giants Get
Running Back Jacquizz Rodgers
Buccaneers Get
Defensive End Kerry Wynn

The New York Giants have some of the more talented wide receivers in football, but they often have trouble moving the ball. Incredibly, the Giants offense became extremely vanilla last season, and that could not be more evident than during the postseason. Eli Manning is a player who has some good years left in him, but it is going to be hard to move the ball with Paul Perkins as the feature back next season.

Over the past few seasons, the Giants have done a nice job bringing in talent along the defensive line. Once a liability, the current Giants roster is led by their defense, which is saying a lot for a team that features Odell Beckham Jr. In Kerry Wynn, they have an expendable player, who could be shipped to Tampa Bay for one of their running backs.

Tampa Bay has a ton of running back talent, including Jacquizz Rodgers. Rodgers is a do-everything back, who would be a nice player out of the backfield for Manning and company. He runs well in space, and with Shane Vereen always getting hurt, would provide good insurance on the depth chart next season.

The Giants figure to be back in the playoff picture again next season, and some believe they could win the NFC East. This team is ready to win now, and with Jason Pierre-Paul and Olivier Vernon set to man the defensive end positions for the next few years, trading away Wynn for some talent at running back seems like a smart move.
