But the fact he's on the trade market literally a year from being drafted in the first gives me great concern.  At least Henderson got maybe a quarter of a season under UM before he was jettisoned.  Brian Daboll hasn't even gotten to the draft and already wants him gone.

He wasn't at the voluntary camp last week and it's clear they didn't like it very much

It's "voluntary", but it's also revealing of character and work ethic.  This isn't some guy that's been around the league for a while, put in the work and produced at a high level.  The big money is on the 2nd contract.  He is showing the Giants and the league that he already got his carrot though.  You don't trade for that.  A flier on a guy off the street is one thing, but giving up draft capital for what you can be relatively sure is a lack of motivation and possible character flaws is something else.
