The high-maintenance wideout hasn’t shown up to any of the team’s offseason program yet under first-year coach Brian Daboll, either. So the Giants are trying to move last year’s No. 20 overall pick.
Toney missed ample practice and game time from May through December due to a laundry list of injuries: two positive tests for COVID, a hamstring, ankle, thumb, quad, oblique and shoulder.
He got thrown out of a loss to the Cowboys for throwing a punch. And he had a toe or foot issue in OTAs when he wore the wrong-sized cleats and practiced at one point with one shoe on.

You would think a big ass bank account would appease a dude to give a shit too. [Reply]

Veach is all over scouting WRs...so he knows about him. Must have liked what he saw..
He is next years Hardman...conditional 3rd rounder for a 23 year old WR that had a 1st round grade...seems like an educated risk if he meets the trade conditions...which I would assume is tied to his health/character concerns.
