Veteran cornerback Isaac Yiadom is on the move to Green Bay.

The Giants have traded Yiadom to the Packers, according to multiple reports. There’s been no immediate word on what the Giants are getting in the deal, but a conditional late-round draft pick is usually the compensation for players of Yiadom’s caliber at this point in training camp.

This offseason Yiadom agreed to take a pay cut with the Giants. He’s due $1.07 million this season, of which $100,000 is guaranteed.

The 25-year-old Yiadom was a third-round pick of the Broncos in 2018. He played two seasons in Denver before being traded to the Giants a year ago for a seventh-round draft pick. Last year Yiadom played in all 16 games for the Giants, with 10 starts.

Edit: Apparently Yiadom spent time in Denver and has experience in the Fangio system.

I think everyone knew Jackson was gone. I don't know how well Yiadom will play. More than likely he sticks around for a few weeks while the coaches try to get a read on him.

I am truly sorry Josh is gone. I liked him. Unfortunately his best year was his first year.

I haven't been able to look into him at all, but I read somewhere that Yiadom has played a good bit on STs, something the Packers are looking for in their end of the depth chart guys.

Also I've read he started for the Giants, I'm wondering if he was a slot of outside guy.

i wished it had worked out for the kid, but alas. I had thought he could have been a Charles Woodson type safety.

I am glad we got something for him...but probably the Giants are saying the same thing.

And it's not pretty to look at whom else was selected after Jackson.

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Sounds like both Kraft and Tom were injuried before OTAs began

buckeyepackfan (21h) : Not serious but waiting for strength and conditioning coach referwnces.

buckeyepackfan (21h) : Tom and Kraft both injured(pectoral muscle),

Zero2Cool (20-May) : I feel similar about person and product/service.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills

Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,

Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
