The New York Giants just acquired one of the NFL's best offensive lineman in exchange for one of the most expensive defensive players under contract.

According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the Giants have agreed to trade outside linebacker/defensive end Olivier Vernon to the Cleveland Browns. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Giants will receive offensive guard Kevin Zeitler in return. There is also a swap of draft picks. The Giants will be sending pick No. 132 overall to the Browns in exchange for pick No. 155.

This is how fast things change in the NFL. Just yesterday, NFL Network lead reporter Ian Rapoport said the Giants were leaning toward retaining Vernon.

Previously, reports pointed toward the Giants moving on from Vernon this offseason. According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the Giants spent the early days of the 2019 NFL Combine discussing the possibility of trading Vernon with other teams. ESPN's Jordan Raanan followed up Garafolo's report by informing us that team who have spoken with the Giants are under the impression the franchise is looking to trade Vernon. According to Raanan, the next step for the Giants would likely be to release Vernon if the Giants cannot find any trade suitors. According to SNY's Ralph Vacchiano, this may be a last-ditch effort by the Giants to trade Vernon before they ultimately release him.
