NFL Rumors: Kadarius Toney, New York Jets, NFL Draft

In this edition of NFL rumors, the Giants are looking to move Kadarius Toney, the Jets up the ante for Deebo Samuel, and NFL Draft buzz.

Welcome to the Sunday edition of NFL rumors where we look at wide receiver Kadarius Toney and the Giants’ willingness to trade the former first-round pick.

Wide receivers and quarterbacks have dominated the NFL offseason and there seems to be plenty of reason to believe that will end anytime soon as we are just days away from the NFL Draft. Toney is just the latest to join the fray that also includes Deebo Samuel, D.K. Metcalf, and free-agent veteran, Odell Beckham Jr.

Let’s take a look at the rest of the NFL rumors circulating around the league.

New York Giants – WR Kadarius Toney

Rumor: The New York Giants are looking to trade 2021 first-round pick, wide receiver Kadarius Toney, according to the New York Daily News.

The Giants have a new general manager and new head coach in Brian Daboll and it doesn’t seem like they are waiting too long to undo the decisions of the previous administration. Toney played in just 10 games a year ago and nearly half of his receiving yards came in a 10-catch, 189-yard performance against the Cowboys in Week 5. He had just 39 receptions for 420 yards and no touchdowns. Toney’s work ethic and commitment have been questioned since last summer so there is some baggage for teams interested in the former Florida Gator.

New York Jets – 10th Overall Pick In Play For Deebo Samuel?

Rumor: The New York Jets are reportedly willing to trade the 10th overall pick in a package for 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel, per Tony Pauline.

It is not surprising the Jets are pulling out all the stops to try and land Deebo Samuel. Earlier in the offseason, they were hot on the trail of Tyreek Hill until he landed in Miami and have been connected in some form or fashion to just about every receiver on the market today. It’s obvious that the Jets are trying to do all they can to add weapons for second-year quarterback, Zach Wilson, as they look to keep pace with the Buffalo Bills and other teams in the AFC East.

NFL Draft – Steelers, Saints Eyeing Quarterbacks?

Rumor: It seems like a “sure bet” that the New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers take a quarterback in the first round of the NFL Draft, per Tony Pauline of PFN.

In the past two seasons, both the Saints and Steelers have watched their Super Bowl winning, franchise quarterbacks retire leaving a gaping hole at the position. Currently, both teams are filling that void with a pair of veteran first-round picks in Mitch Trubisky and Jameis Winston. However, neither is seen as a long-term solution for either team so it makes sense that they would turn to the draft. Unfortunately, compared to last year’s crop of quarterbacks, seems a bit underwhelming. However, as we all know, not all the best quarterbacks come from the early rounds.
