Trade #3

Giants receive:
OT Trent Brown (81 overall, 25 years old)
Colts 3rd round pick (75th overall)

Orcas receive:
Pioneers 2nd round pick (64th overall)
Pioneers 3rd round pick (96th overall)

The Giants will assume a $1.10 mil cap hit

The Orcas will shed a $1.10 mil cap hit

The Giants were seeking to shed draft picks and acquire an OT, and they kill two birds with one stone. Brown and his career 70 blocks vs 7 sacks allowed could be in the mix to be a starting OT next season. Being on his RFA tender, it helps out the Giants with potential cap space woes with their list of UFAs and lots of high and mid-round draft picks.

The Orcas, under new management, wish to aggressively change the team as a whole but specifically the offense and its depth. Brown didn't have a clear path to a starting job in the near future with four 90+ OL under contract for at least two more seasons, so he was really just a luxury on this team and got back decent value for him with the final pick of the third round and a small trade up back into the 2nd round, giving them six Top 100 picks.

Both parties understood what each team was giving up and receiving, the financial impact, Brown's past history, and what each team hoped to achieve.

This trade is now official.
