The Denver Broncos have agreed to trade cornerback Isaac Yiadom to the New York Giants in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick in 2021, according to The Denver Post‘s Ryan O’Halloran.
Yiadom (6-1, 190 pounds) was selected by the Broncos in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Boston College. He failed to live up to his early-round status, earning just nine starts in his career.
In 29 career games, Yiadom totaled 61 tackles, seven pass breakups and one interception. He served primarily as a rotational cornerback and special teams contributor when Denver’s starting cornerbacks were healthy. Last year, Yiadom was a fill-in starter for eight games.
A.J. Bouye and Bryce Callahan will serve as the Broncos’ top two cornerbacks this season. Yiadom was competing with De’Vante Bausby and Davontae Harris for the No. 3 cornerback role before being traded.
Denver also selected Michael Ojemudia in the third round of this year’s draft and the team signed college free agent Essang Bassey after the draft. Duke Dawson also has a chance to make the 53-man roster so the Broncos have plenty of options at cornerback even after trading Yiadom.
