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

That may be a part of it, but it's voluntary and can't be mandated per the CBA.

Given what they spent on him just last year, I have to think the roots of this decision began last season.  He had enough talent to put up a 189 yard game last year. That's about half of his rookie production in one game.

This may be one of those cases where a guy needs to mature to be any good.    Early career trades helped guys like Brett Favre and Cris Carter become excellent pros.  Perhaps it might work for him.  Right now, though, things do not look good for him or the Giants.
