Video: Brian Burns Was 'Shocked' by Giants Trade; NFL Rivals Must 'Pick Their Poison'

Veteran edge-rusher Brian Burns believes opponents of the New York Giants will have their hands full when attempting to neutralize a front seven that includes he, Dexter Lawrence and Kayvon Thibodeaux.

The Giants acquired Burns from the Carolina Panthers this offseason and signed him to a five-year, $141 million extension.

At Lawrence's charity softball game, the two-time Pro Bowler said he was "shocked" upon first learning of the trade and called it a "pleasant surprise."

Burns added he's enthusiastic about his new setting because Lawrence "commands a lot" of attention on the interior the line.
