Under new general manager Joe Schoen, the New York Giants' roster shake-up could leave the team with a very new look. It will be much needed after a miserable few years under Dave Gettleman. While this may mean lots of trades, it could also mean seeing a lot of free agents leave.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, several teams are inquiring about 2020 Pro Bowler Evan Engram. Some teams are looking to move the 27-year-old from tight end to wide receiver if they can land him in free agency.
A day after several TEs got franchise tags, one note: Teams have been inquiring about Evan Engram of the #Giants as a slot WR, as well as TE. They believe he’s a match-up problem as a WR, which adds to his value in free agency.

Engram has been used most frequently as a pass-catcher in his five years in the NFL. Despite his brutally inconsistent hands, he has the speed and dexterity to be a legitimate receiver as opposed to a tight end. In 15 games last season, he caught 46 passes for 408 yards and three touchdowns. His production overall has done down since his rookie season.
If Engram walks, the Giants will need to find a new tight end after letting veteran Kyle Rudolph leave after one season. Because of Engram's poor blocking ability and the likelihood that Saquon Barkley remains with the team, it would be a wise move for the Giants to get a tight end that can provide blocking.
As the Giants ponder making a move for Mitch Trubisky, consider trading James Bradberry and hope to get players to take pay cuts, they will have a very busy offseason.
