New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen has made several curious personnel decisions in recent years, failing to trade players such as running back Saquon Barkley, safety Xavier McKinney, and linebacker Azeez Ojulari at the deadline.
All three are now gone — Barkley and Ojulari to the Philadelphia Eagles, McKinney to the Green Bay Packers — and the Giants received nothing in return outside of help in the compensatory pick formula.
In addition, Schoen has been forced to backfill those positions in subsequent free agency periods.

Joe Milton III experienced a dream transformation when he fell asleep last night as a New England Patriot, waking up to find his dream had become a reality. On Thursday the Patriotssent the second-year quarterback and a seventh-round draft selection to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick.
Milton, a former University of Tennessee product, couldn’t hide his enthusiasm about joining the organization his family has supported for years.

MILAN (AP) — Surgeons found that overall World Cup skiing champion Federica Brignone also tore her ACL in a giant slalom crash in which she broke multiple bones in her left leg.
The discovery is a further setback for the 34-year-old Italian’s hopes of competing at a home Olympics in 10 months. She was expected to be one of her country’s stars of the Milan-Cortina Games.
Brignone underwent surgery at La Madonnina clinic in Milan on Thursday night after a crash at the Italian championships earlier in the day.

The New Orleans Saints seem to at least be interested in Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart. How interested are they, though? There are a couple of moves they could make, or not make, that would answer this question. 
There was a report suggesting Dart could creep into the first half of the opening round. If that happened, it would be one of the more surprising moves of the NFL draft. Kellen Moore could fall for Dart and believe those whispers (or be the source of them), so much so that he jumps for him at ninth overall.
