New York Giants news for Thursday
Good morning New York Giants fans!
One player who could be in line for a contract extension is guard/tackle Jermaine Eluemunor, who is in the final year of the two-year deal he signed last off-season. Eluemunor currently counts for $9.191 million against the cap, of which $5.75 million is his 2025 base salary. If he were open to an extension, the Giants could lower his base salary to $1.255 million, which is the minimum base for a veteran with at least seven years of accrued experience (Eluemunor is entering his ninth NFL season), tack on two more years, with the second one being a voidable year.
D.J. Reed, CB Reed is among the more underrated cornerbacks in the NFL. He really blossomed during his three years with the Jets, cementing himself as a legitimate outside corner who flashed shutdown capabilities. More important, though, is Reed’s leadership. He played a major role in acclimating All-Pro corner Sauce Gardner to the league.
Reed would be valuable to the Giants as they try to salvage Deonte Banks' career. He also finished the last three seasons with ProFootballFocus grades of 72.5, 77.9, and 70.7.
New York Giants: The prognosis at quarterback. The Giants could easily be shut out from both Ward and Sanders, especially given that the Titans and Browns each need quarterbacks. That could encourage New York to trade back for someone like Kyle McCord or Jaxson Dart, or simply bypass the position in the draft’s early rounds altogether. General manager Joe Schoen must account for that possibility in how he handles this offseason, which could be a quarterback carousel.
Could the Giants pursue a more solid stopgap option like Wilson, Rodgers or Fields instead of drafting one at No. 3? Could vying for Sam Darnold, Derek Carr or even Matthew Stafford be on the table? Schoen has myriad ways to try to fix his quarterback quandary, and even if taking one at No. 3 is the most logical outcome, it’s far from a guarantee.
The reality is, no...
