2024 NFL trade deadline live updates: What to know as Tuesday's deadline approaches


2024 NFL trade deadline live updates: What to know as Tuesday's deadline approaches

Let's take a look at the offensive snap counts from the Giants' 27-22 loss to the Commanders on Sunday to see what we can learn from them:

-Tyrone Tracy Jr. (72% of snaps) remains the clear RB1. He once again had a solid game, despite the lack of explosiveness that has characterized his game this season. He finished the game with 16 carries for 66 yards. Devin Singletary (28%) showed some juice on his seven carries for 33 yards.

-Rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (95%) had a score in the first half and didn't have a catch until the third quarter after torching the Commanders in Week 2. They peppered him on catchup, but he only managed 59 yards on nine catches. He averages just 10.1 yards per catch. It's another sign of how lifeless this passing game is. If this continues, dealing with his frustration will be a top priority.

Darius Slayton (92%) exited late with a concussion. This could complicate any trade negotiations. But I don't think the Giants will trade their most reliable player for an offense that barely works with him.

The stat lines for Wan'Dale Robinson (72%) are becoming more incredible every week. On Sunday, he had three catches for 10 yards. This is the second time in three weeks that he has averaged less than four yards per catch. He had five games under seven yards per catch. His 6.9 yards per catch average ranks him 82nd out of 82 qualified WRs. The Giants selected him 43rd overall in 2022 with a specific vision for his role. That can't be it.

Jalin Hyatt (6%) played four snaps when Slayton was out. This is the third time this season he has not scored any goals. He has one catch for six yards all season. The Giants traded a fourth-round pick last year to move up to the third round for him.

-The Giants mixed in their other tight ends a bit more, but it was still Theo Johnson's (85%) show. Johnson salvaged a tough receiving day with the late 35-yard TD catch. These seam passes need to become a bigger part of the offense.

The only other target by a TE was Chris Manhertz's impressive 2-yard TD catch (25%).

-LT Chris Hubbard (100%) was beaten too clearly in the catastrophic screen error. Otherwise the O-line was fine. But that’s a big “else.” Evan Neal (2%) played his first snap from scrimmage as a jumbo TE on the Manhertz TD.
