this new york giants With rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart under center, the offense finally seems to be coming to life.
However, among the list of proposed trades, Pro Football Focus’ Bradley Locke has included key members Giants offense as potential trade candidates – This move makes no sense.
That candidate is right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor, who has been one of the Giants' most consistent offensive linemen this season behind Andrew Thomas but is entering the final year of his contract.
“Eluemunor has quietly developed into a solid pass-protecting right tackle. In Week 6, he has posted a PFF pass-blocking grade above 71.0 in each of his two seasons with the Giants, allowing just six sacks in 760 opportunities.
“He also brings experience at left tackle and right guard, all of which will make him coveted.
“The Giants may not want to jeopardize Dart's development by removing him as the starting right tackle — but it may be too tempting to turn him down if a framework is provided for a trade in impending free agency,” Lock concluded.

Although 30 years old Versatility and high-level play Might make him an attractive trade candidate, but trading him right now simply doesn't make sense for the Giants.
New York's eagerness to keep Jaxon Dart healthy has the Giants excited about starting left tackle Andrew Thomas Return to top form again.
Even if Elumuno's contract is expiring, why suddenly remove him from a stable offensive line?
Yes, the Giants have Marcus M'Beau waiting in the wings, but M'Beau and James Hudson III are currently swing tackles and the rookie has moved ahead of Hudson. It simply doesn’t make sense to create holes at key (and hard-to-fill) spots on the offensive line.
Elumuno is exactly the kind of veteran tackle New York wants to have when Dart is developing into a star.
At the end of the day, there's something special about the Giants' tackle duo of Elumuno and Thomas. From a team management perspective, it is difficult to break this situation.
The Giants are desperate to win now. It simply doesn't make sense for the Giants to trade current value for future value before the NFL trade deadline (Tuesday, Nov. 4).
