Giants trade CB Apple to Saints for draft picks#CAxY

Giants trade CB Apple to Saints for draft picks -- The New Orleans Saints added to their aggressive flurry of trades this year by sending fourth-and seventh-round draft picks to the New York Giants for cornerback Eli Apple on Tuesday. Annie Apple, Elis mother, on Tuesday thanked the Giants on Twitter for giving a little football nerd opportunity to live his dream. The Saints now have seven former Ohio State players on their active roster, injured reserve or practice squad -- which could help provide a good atmosphere for Apple to continue his turnaround. ESPN Giants reporter Jordan Raanan discusses how the trade of Eli Apple to the Saints puts New York into rebuild mode. Shurmur said B. W. Webb will be in the mix to replace Apple as the starter on the outside. In addition to trading Apple, they also waived offensive tackle Ereck Flowers.
