With New York Giants 2021 first-round decide and extensive receiver Kadarius Toney reportedly obtainable for commerce, the Tennessee Titans ought to at the very least inquire in regards to the 23-year-old wideout.
In accordance with the New York Each day Information’ Pat Leonard, the Giants at the moment are procuring Toney, who has but to point out as much as their offseason program. Huge Blue is at present calling round to get a really feel for what Toney is price.
This comes on the heels of Giants normal supervisor Joe Shoen saying Toney was mainly untouchable earlier this month.
Even after including Robert Woods by way of commerce with the Los Angeles Rams, the Titans want extra assist on the place, and particularly somebody who shall be greater than a one- or two-year answer.
Toney checks that field, as he’s simply 23 and has three extra years (plus a fifth-year possibility) till he hits free company. Including to that, he’ll come low-cost, as Toney’s cap hits over the following three years are $3.1, $3.7 and $4.3 million.
So far as match is anxious, Toney is an efficient one. He can line up wherever on the sphere, together with within the slot, and has the velocity to be the deep risk the Titans’ offense wants, making him an ideal complement to A.J. Brown.
There are some character issues with Toney, however he’d be coming to a crew with a powerful tradition that has loads of veteran leaders to assist develop him into the star participant I imagine he will be.
On prime of all that, buying and selling for Toney would permit Tennessee to concentrate on different positions within the 2022 NFL draft, like guard, sort out and/or tight finish.
Now the query turns into, what is going to it take to land Toney? I don’t suppose the Giants will get a first-round decide for him after what was a quiet rookie marketing campaign in 2021.
Toney exploded in Week 5 in opposition to the Dallas Cowboys, displaying his star potential. He posted 189 yards on 13 catches and routinely torched Dallas’ protection in that sport, however was additionally ejected for throwing a punch.

Toney didn’t do a lot past that sport, although. The Florida product failed to search out the tip zone as soon as, didn’t end with greater than 78 yards in another sport, and he missed seven contests as a consequence of harm.
It is very important word that the Giants have been an terrible crew and Toney wasn’t alone within the disappointing season division, in order that must be taken under consideration.
As a lot as I don’t suppose Toney will fetch a first-round decide, it definitely isn’t unattainable.
With the extensive receiver market exploding with big-money offers, groups nonetheless in want on the place are in search of cheaper choices and may overpay in draft capital. Additional, a bidding struggle will solely drive up the value.
Ideally, if the Titans do commerce for Toney it’s with a future decide and never from this 12 months’s steady.
In an ideal world, a 2023 third-round decide will get it carried out, however I’d be keen to go as excessive as a 2023 second-rounder if that’s what it took to land a younger, explosive, playmaking extensive receiver with a ton of potential.
