Giants Trade Roosevelt Grier to Rams in Front Line Shakeup
The New York Giants trade defensive tackle Roosevelt Grier to the Los Angeles Rams for tackle John LaVetere and a high draft pick. Giants coach Allie Sherman says the move strengthens Rams defense and should help the Giants backfield with LaVetere adding experience. Grier, 31, helped form the Fearsome Foursome, aiming to solidify the line and support a running back deal with the extra draft selection.
