Kadarius Toney’s time in the Big Apple may not last long. After last year’s general manager Dave Gettleman selected the Florida wide receiver 20th overall, the new regime is already looking to trade the 23-year-old player.
According to Pat Leonard of the NY Daily News, GM Joe Schoen has been busy making calls to see what the second-year pro would fetch in a trade. After playing in just 10 games, starting four of them in his rookie season, it’s unknown just how much compensation the Giants are looking for. Nevertheless, Toney flashed some big-game talent which will surely lead to several competitors interested in a trade.
Here are five potential trade destinations for Toney.
Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions already made a splash this offseason by signing DJ Chark to a deal worth up to $10 million. They also have Amon-Ra St. Brown who impressed as a rookie, but at the start of the offseason wide receivers coach Antwaan Randle-El made it publicly known his desire to add at least two playmaking pass-catchers this offseason.
Chark was a nice start, Toney could be the finishing touch, giving Jared Goff a much improved receiving corps to work with in his second season in town. The Lions certainly have the draft capital to trade, with four picks in the top 66 and could provide a perfect trade partner for the G-Men.
Green Bay Packers
Moving on from Davante Adams created a lot of opportunities I guess one could say on the Green Bay Packers’ depth chart. With few established options aside from Randoll Cobb, the Packers are a sure bet to add a few more targets for Aaron Rodgers over the next two weeks. Perhaps they had Toney graded highly a season ago?
Either way, Toney could inject a lot more speed into the Green Bay offense. Like the Lions, the Packers have four picks in the top-60 selections and have a definite need for talent in the receiver room.
