Giants Also Had Trade Interest In CB Trent McDuffie

According to Sam McDowell, the Giants were also in the running to trade for Chiefs CB Trent McDuffie and it came down to them or Los Angeles. 

Ultimately, however, they weren’t willing to give up what the Rams were, which was a first-round pick plus three other selections. 

It’s notable that New York was apparently a finalist, however, and might offer a hint about what they see as priorities under new HC John Harbaugh.

McDuffie, 25, was a three-year starter at Washington and earned first-team All Pac-12 honors in 2021 and was named All Pac-12 second-team in 2020. The Chiefs traded up and used the No. 21 overall pick on him in the 2022 draft. 

He signed a four-year, $13,992,482 contract that includes a $7,356,350 signing bonus and includes a fifth-year option that was picked up by Kansas City back in April.

In 2025, McDuffie appeared in and started 13 games for the Chiefs, recording 63 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, seven pass defenses, and one interception.

We’ll have more on the McDuffie trade as the news becomes available.
