DRC: I Never Asked Giants For Trade

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie clashed with Giants coach Ben McAdoo in a big way last week. But, the cornerback says that he never asked for a trade (Twitter link via Ralph Vacchiano of SNY). Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (vertical)

DRC wasn’t acting like someone who wanted to stay with the Giants last Wednesday when he bailed on a defensive meeting, cleaned out his locker, and left the team’s facility. When asked about why he did that, the veteran downplayed the significance of his actions.

I’m dramatic. I’m crazy,” Rodgers-Cromartie said.

Rodgers-Cromartie was banned indefinitely after four separate blowups with the team, including his choice to storm off the field in the midst of the team’s loss to the Chargers. But, on Tuesday, the Giants formally ended his ban. DRC probably isn’t McAdoo’s favorite person in the world right now, but the 1-5 Giants had little choice but to bring him back this week.

Should things sour between DRC and McAdoo again, the Giants may want to keep the Oct. 31 trade deadline in mind.
