The New York Giants have agreed to trade Eli Apple to the New Orleans Saints for a fourth round pick in 2019 and a seventh rounder in 2020.

Apple was a first round pick at cornerback in 2016 out of Ohio State.

Apple was suspended by the Giants for the final game of the 2017 season for "a pattern of behavior that is conduct detrimental to the team," capping off a tumultuous season that included multiple benchings and some troubling incidents with teammates, coaches and executives while he was dealing with family issues.

Annie Apple, Eli's mother, on Tuesday thanked the Giants on Twitter for giving "a little football nerd opportunity to live his dream."
