New York Giants' Jermaine Eluemunor hilariously supports Micah Parsons' trade request
Shortly after offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor signed with the New York Giants last offseason, he quickly became a fan favorite solely due to how excited he was to be a Giant. Elumunor has continued to embrace being a Giant ahead of his second season with the team.
Following the news of Dallas Cowboys star pass rusher Micah Parsons requesting a trade, Elumunor took to X to show his support for Parsons' trade request.
He did it in a way that only Eluemunor could.
Eluemunor doesn't just want Parsons out of the NFC East but out of the NFC altogether.
Parsons was the second player from the NFC East to request a trade this week after Washington Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin also requested a trade as he remains unhappy with his contract. The Giants would be fortunate to see either player shipped out of the NFC East.
Eluemunor, who welcomes the challenge of going up against the league's best, was forced to explain his comments when the joke clearly went over several heads.
It's a joke yall lmao I want to go against the best all season
Almost immediately after Parsons made his trade request, Giants fans dug up an old tweet and encouraged him to join Big Blue.
It's only right the NFL lets me and Abdul play together!!
The Cowboys aren't going to trade their best player within the division, nor do the Giants have the assets to acquire Parsons or the cap space necessary to give him the contract he is seeking.
There is no shortage of talent within the NFC East. However, if Parsons were to get traded, the Cowboys' defense would certainly look a lot less scary.

Predicting a Steelers trade package for Cowboys' Micah Parsons after official request
Micah Parsons' trade request has sparked rumors and speculation galore — but his viral Steelers comments from several months ago are the true hidden gem. It begs the question: could Pittsburgh actually acquire the superstar defender? Although it remains to be seen if the Cowboys will honor Parsons' request, if the Steelers were to offer a trade package, they'd need to send Dallas his replacement while also offloading a high contract — which is where EDGE Alex Highsmith comes into play. If the Steelers dealt Highsmith and his cap hits over the next three seasons of $18.6 million, $20.1 million, and $21.1 million, they could theoretically pay Parsons the top edge rusher money he's looking for — but may need to offer the Cowboys some additional premium draft picks as well. Here is a look at a completely hypothetical trade package that sends the Cowboys' star edge rusher to a destination he admittedly prefers: Steelers receive: Cowboys receive: The price to pay is undoubtedly steep — but there's no question the Steelers would boast an even more devastating pass rush with All-Pro DT Cameron Heyward on the interior and the edge rush duo of Parsons and former 2021 Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt. For up-to-date Steelers coverage, follow us on X @TheSteelersWire and give our Facebook page a like.

Legendary Giants shortstop heads to Astros
For one beautiful week in December 2022, Carlos Correa was a member of the San Francisco Giants, and he was going to be in San Francisco for the next 13 years. Then the Giants postponed his introductory news conference because of a bad physical, or cold feet, and the Carlos Correa SF Era was over. Now, the Carlos Correa Minnesota Era is over, 10 1⁄3 seasons before Correa's Giants contract would have ended. The Minnesota Twins traded Correa back to the Astros for pitching prospect Matt Mikulski, and will pay the Astros $33M to take on the remainder of the six-year, $200M deal he eventually signed before the 2023 season — about $103.4M. That's seven fewer years and $150M less than Correa's original agreement with the Giants. It's six fewer years and $115M less than Correa's deal with the New York Mets, which also got cancelled after a physical exam. So, in hindsight, pretty good call by the Giants in backing out of the deal, though their pivot to a free agent class of Michael Conforto, Mitch Haniger, Luke Jackson, Sean Manaea, and Ross Stripling was less than inspiring. The Twins were motivated to get out of the contract primarily because the Pohlad family put the team up for sale nine months ago and still hasn't found a buyer, so they're cutting payroll as much as possible. Correa was pretty mediocre in 2023 with the Twins, rebounded to an awesome .310/.388/.517 slash line in 2024 but only played 86 games, then struggled to .267/.319/.386 in 2025. He'll play third base for the Astros, alongside his successor at short, Jeremy Peña. Instead of 10 1/3 more years of Carlos Correa for about $278M, the Giants have 6 2⁄3 more years of Willy Adames for roughly $173.3M. The math works. In a week where so many longtime Giants changed teams, it's important to acknowledge a player who may have only been a Giant for one unofficial week, but whose X-rays will live in our hearts forever. Godspeed, Carlos. More from The 2018 Giants aren't the 2013 Phillies. Stop it.

Saints Play of the Day: Drew Brees finds Willie Snead IV on flea flicker TD
We're turning the clock back to 2015 for our New Orleans Saints Play of the Day, highlighting a classic shootout with the New York Giants. This game was a barnburner, and the Saints won it 52-49. But they wouldn't have gotten there without this first touchdown pass from Drew Brees to Willie Snead IV. It involved some trickery -- Mark Ingram II initially took the handoff, then spun around and tossed the ball back to Brees for a flea flicker. Brees stepped up, found Snead down near the goal line with a step on the Giants secondary, and rifled a touchdown pass to him from 34 yards out. You can watch the crazy play for yourself here. So many things could have gone wrong here. Ingram lost his footing on the toss and could have lost control of the football for a fumble. Brees could have put too little air underneath his pass and had it intercepted by the New York defense. Snead could have dropped the ball himself. New Orleans may have lost this one without those first six points. But they didn't. This time, the Saints gambled and it paid off. They were off to the races from here on out. Brees took the lead with a 26-yard touchdown pass to Brandin Cooks to close out the first quarter, and New Orleans held onto that lead until the Giants rallied back with a pick-six midway through the fourth quarter. Brees tied it up again with a 9-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Spiller, and then things really got wild. A Saints defense that had given up 416 yards and 49 points already finally got a stop inside the final minute, forcing a Giants punt from their own 25-yard line. Marcus Murphy returned that punt back into New York territory but fumbled at the end, and Snead picked it up -- along with a 15-yard face mask penalty on Giants punter Brad Wing as he tried to bring Snead down. That moved the Saints into field goal range, and Kai Forbath split the uprights from 50 yards out. It was a thrilling, entertaining game for anyone who wasn't a fan of good defense. It probably shouldn't shock anyone that embattled defensive coordinator Rob Ryan was dismissed two weeks later, which led to Dennis Allen getting the keys. The rest is history.
