The New York Giants are considering trades ahead of the deadline, focusing on adding depth and talent. Rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields is having a breakout season, making the $3 million veteran Darnell Mooney a potential trade candidate. Fields has 16 receptions for 248 yards and one touchdown, highlighting the need for the Giants to potentially leverage Mooney, who has only nine receptions for 113 yards this season.
