Giants trade DT Harrison to Lions
The New York Giants have traded star defensive tackle Damon "Snacks" Harrison
to the Detroit Lions for a draft pick.
Giants coach Pat Shurmur
confirmed the deal Wednesday after practice without revealing details. The teams are expected to confirm it Thursday after Harrison passes a physical.
A person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press that Giants will receive a fifth-round draft pick for the soon-to-be 30-year-old Harrison, who was a 2016 All-Pro selection.
The trade is the second for the Giants (1-6) in less than 24 hours and indicates the organization is cleaning house after four wins in the past 23 regular-season games. New York sent cornerback Eli Apple,
a 2016 first-round selection, to New Orleans for two picks on Tuesday.
It also waived tackle Ereck Flowers, the 2015 first-round pick, on Oct. 9.
Broncos cut Kelly after trespassing arrest
The Denver Broncos have waived backup quarterback Chad Kelly a day after he was arrested on suspicion of criminal trespass after a couple reported he came into their suburban home uninvited and sat down on their couch "mumbling incoherently."
About half an hour before the Broncos released him, Kelly appeared in Arapahoe County Court, where a court date of Nov. 8 was set for filing charges.
The Broncos' move leaves third-year pro Kevin Hogan as Case Keenum's backup.
CB Peterson vows to stay with Cardinals
Three-time All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson backed off his request to be traded from the Arizona Cardinals, saying "it came at a bad time and I was just frustrated" about how badly the season has gone when he made it.
"Honestly I don't really want to dwell on the situation on what happened. I said what I said," Peterson said after practice Wednesday.
Asked why he'd sought a trade, Peterson, a Pro Bowl selection in each of his seven seasons with Arizona, said simply, "You see the record."
The Cardinals are 1-6 heading into Sunday's home game against the San Francisco 49ers.
