Are Janoris Jenkins' hours with the Giants numbered?

The Giants top cornerback said Tuesday he doesn't know if he will be on the move before the 4 p.m. NFL trade deadline, but he didn't make an impassioned plea to stay put, either.

"If they let me go, they let me go," cornerback said Janoris Jenkins said. "It is what it is."

It was Jenkins' third time in the last week answering questions about a possible trade, which became a dominant story after the Giants have shipped out defensive starters Damon Harrison and Eli Apple. He had kept to repeating a message that "business is business," but he expanded on it after what could be his final Giants practice.

"I play football to play football," Jenkins said. "If they trade me, bro, they trade me. I don't care. It is what is. If they are going to keep they are going to keep me. Business is business. On to the next team."

Jenkins played his first four seasons with the Rams before signing a five-year, $62.5 million contract with the Giants during the 2016 offseason. He made the Pro Bowl in his first season but his play has been up and down since then, including a team-high two interceptions this season but recurring questions about his effort in blowout losses.

Multiple reports identified the AFC-leading Chiefs, who hold two second-round picks in the 2019 draft, as a possible destination for the 30-year-old Jenkins. The Giants received a fourth-round pick from the Saints for Apple and a fifth from the Lions for Harrison.

"I know everybody in the league," Jenkins said. "Everybody knows everybody. The schemes are all the same. It's just different terms. Basically, the playbooks are the same. It's all going to be Cover 1, Cover 2 or Quarters."
