CB Eli Apple to San Francisco 49ers

New York Giants safety Landon Collins insists his public feud with young cornerback Eli Apple is a thing of the past.buy nike nfl jerseys cheap

“We talked. Definitely we talked. We’ve definitely buried the hatchet a while ago,” Collins told reporters in April. “That’s my guy, my brother. I’m always going to have his back. We knew what kind of caliber player he is. He knows what kind of caliber player I am. We’re just trying to get to work and make this season go.”

General manager Dave Gettleman made a similar comment in January when he told the New York Post’s Steve Serby the former first-round pick has a “clean slate” with the team after two disappointing years.

But if those first two NFL seasons have been any indication, the best thing for both him and the Giants might be a change of scenery.cheap nfl nike jerseys china

The San Francisco 49ers have a hole at cornerback after Dontae Johnson signed with the Seahawks. While Ahkello Witherspoon is a possibility there, the second-year pro is far from a proven commodity.nfl nike jersey cheap

Not that Apple is either, mind you. But he is a Round 1 talent. John Lynch has shown to be one of the more aggressive GMs in the NFL when it comes to improving the roster.

The biggest sticking points here? Compensation for a team that invested the 10th overall pick in Apple in 2016 and the void it would leave the Giants in the secondary.

But at some point, smart GMs know when to cut to bait on players they didn’t draft, and there are some veteran corners still available in free agency—including Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, who started five games for the G-Men in 2017.cheap nike nfl jersey
