Damon Harrison is no longer a member of the New York Giants after being traded to the Detroit Lions on Wednesday, but he leaves the great state of New Jersey with one final message about his tenure with the franchise.

"Goodbye New Jersey...I gave everything I had. Y’all be good," Harrison Tweeted.

Harrison also provided a more lengthy goodbye to the Giants organization, his teammates past and present, and everyone who shaped his experience.

Much love to my teammates, the amazing staffs, coaches, and all the fans. This is my second home because of you...??? pic.twitter.com/4VUAjkIHlu — Damon Harrison Sr. (@snacks) October 24, 2018

Harrison is not lying -- he gave it everything he possibly had. Harrison played through multiple injuries over the past three seasons that cost him practice time but he never once missed a start for the Giants defense. Harrison gritted through the pain and played through injuries while at the same time earning dominant grades from Pro Football Focus as a run defender.

First-year Giants starting free safety Curtis Riley is one of several Giants players who are sad to see him go.

"It was a pleasure my boy," Riley Tweeted out at Harrison after he said goodbye to his fans on Twitter.

Even in a down 2018 season while transitioning to a new defensive scheme that didn't suit him under first-year defensive coordinator James Bettcher, Harrison has continued his dominant play. Harrison has notably ranked as PFF's No. 4 overall player among 169 qualifiers on the interior in run defense alone this season. Of course, the new Giants defensive scheme calls for its interior defenders to offer a more than just a one-way run-stopping skill set. The new scheme wants interior disrupters in the passing game and Harrison has struggled to generate pressure this season.

Giants defensive captain Landon Collins was unhappy when he heard of the news on social media.

The Harrison trade will save the Giants about $4 million in salary cap space and leave them with $3.2 million in dead money on next year's cap. Obviously, the Giants also get out from paying his $6.75 million salary in 2019 and $9 million in 2020.

Most importantly, the trade allows the Giants to collect even more draft capital. These three draft picks they have acquired for trading Eli Apple and now Harrison will allow the Giants the opportunity to trade up in the 2019 NFL Draft if they feel like there is a player they covet who is just out of reach. After the 2018 NFL Draft, first-year general manager Dave Gettleman admitted to nearly trading back into the first round to select offensive guard Will Hernandez. He also admitted to nearly trading back into the second round to select outside linebacker Lorenzo Carter. Gettleman was patient and the Giants eventually landed both players with the draft picks they were alotted by the NFL.
