The Giants will gladly take him off your hands.

What would these teams offer is whats important. I dont really see anything the giants can offer the 31st pick no thanks.

Litto isn't worth a first round pick. We can get a younger and more talented one in the draft with that bro.

He may not be to the Giants but with a pick added he could be, very fast at that. A CB with pro-bowl potential and a sweet contract is hard to find.

But he also has red flags

Sure he does, but even out of all his injuries not one has been a significant one, an ankle sprain here and there, that can be overcome very quickly.

Its not so much the signifigance, its the fact that he has missed games, and doesnt play well hurt. To me he is similar to Anthony Henry that way. He is a great CB completely healthy, but once he gets nicked up he doesnt play well.

With all due respect Lito's injuries have been the kind that are going to effect his play. Almost every injury he suffered has been to his legs and with ANY CB they are not going to play well with something like that. He's not a physical CB so taking away his ability to break on a ball is going to hurt pretty bad. I just dont think the "red flags" as you called them will be that big a deal in a negotiation. A torn something then sure, but these are sprains.

Same with Henry. Both their issues are that they dont seem to compensate well. Newman played on a bad heal all year and had on of his best seasons

Ya, but part of it is the amount of games he has missed over his career. he has only played one 16 game season and more than 15 games twice
