New York Giants received

  • conditional draft pick (voided/not exercised when Jets released Chris Foote)

New York Jets received

  • Chris Foote

New York traded center Chris Foote to the Jets on August 23, 1983 for a conditional draft choice, but the transaction was effectively unwound six days later. The Jets waived Foote on August 29, which nullified the draft-pick obligation. Foote re-signed with the Giants on September 12 and played 11 games for New York that season. Because no pick transferred and Foote returned, the deal produced no lasting exchange of value.

  • 2022 fifth round pick (#146-Micah McFadden)

New York Jets received

  • 2022 second round pick (#36-Breece Hall)

New York moved down two spots on April 29, 2022, sending pick No. 36 to the Jets for Nos. 38 and 146. The Giants then flipped No. 38 to Atlanta for Nos. 43 and 114, selecting Wan'Dale Robinson and Dane Belton, while No. 146 became Micah McFadden. Across four Giants seasons those three selections produced substantial receiving, defensive and starting value, giving the trade-down a broad multi-player return.

New York Jets Win
New York Giants B+
New York Jets A

New York Giants received

  • 2022 2nd round pick (38th overall subsequently traded, Arnold Ebiketie)
  • 2022 5th round pick (146th overall, Micah McFadden)

New York Jets received

  • 2022 2nd round pick (36th overall, Breece Hall)

The Jets sent picks 38 and 146 to the Giants to move up two spots for Breece Hall at No. 36. Hall became a centerpiece of the Jets offense, recovering from a major rookie knee injury to produce multiple high-volume seasons and eventually top 1,000 rushing yards. The Giants used No. 146 on Micah McFadden and later moved No. 38 in another trade. New York's NFC team received good value, but Hall became the best player.
