The New York Giants are very obviously in need of a quarterback (or two) this offseason and have made it clear that will be their primary objective.
“That’s obviously the number one issue for us going into this offseason, is to find our quarterback of the future,” co-owner John Mara said at his year-end press conference. “Whether that be via the draft or acquiring a veteran, it’s going to be up to (general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll) to decide, ultimately.”
Schoen left the door open to acquiring a quarterback in a variety of ways: Free agency, a trade, and the 2025 NFL draft.
“It’s the most important position in football,” Schoen said. “So, that’s definitely important to any team in the NFL’s success. So, that’s something we’ll definitely be looking at.”
Staying true to their word, ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reports that the Giants have invested extensive resources into every possible avenue available to them in order to identify their next franchise quarterback.
It’s no secret the Giants are scouring the landscape for their future franchise quarterback. One NFL executive said general manager Joe Schoen made it obvious at the Senior Bowl that was his focus.
Not only have the Giants heavily scouted the quarterback prospects ahead of April’s draft — something that will continue at the NFL Combine — they’ve also been linked to Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, as well as several other impending free agents.
Thus far, the smoke has largely surrounded Stafford and Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders but it’s important to remember that it’s lying season in the NFL. Rumors and speculation will continue to run rampant until free agency on March 12 when a clearer picture comes into focus.
