After two years with the Bills, defensive end Boogie Basham is heading to the Giants.
Basham was traded today, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. There’s been no word on what the Giants are sending back to Buffalo, but it’s likely a late-round draft pick.
A 2021 second-round pick out of Wake Forest, Basham hasn’t made the impact in Buffalo that the bills were hoping for. He has played in 23 games with no starts, and has 4.5 career sacks. Last year he played 39 percent of the Bills’ defensive snaps and 10 percent of special teams snaps.
This is another move by Giants GM Joe Schoen. The Giants are being very aggressive and are clearly in more of a win-soon mode than many thought at this point.
It will be interesting to see what the Giants gave up for Basham.
