Giants trade deadline preview: Janoris Jenkins seems like only logical trade candidate
Photo by Adam Glanzman/ Will the Giants make any moves? The 2019 NFL trade deadline is one week from today, Oct. 29, at 4 p.m. ET.

So, do the Giants have any players other teams might want. The most likely Giant to be moved That has to be cornerback Janoris Jenkins, who, coincidentally, turns 31 next...
