New York Giants news for Friday
Good morning New York Giants fans!
During a media availability Thursday ahead of next week’s scouting combine, NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah was asked about the quarterback situations for the Giants and Jets. He mentioned Ward and Sanders but also discussed the potential availability of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.
“There has been a lot of chatter in talking to guys around the league with the Stafford stuff,” Jeremiah said. “I don’t know if there’s legs to it, but I know that it has got a lot of people in personnel departments and general managers intrigued in seeing what’s going to transpire there with him and the Rams.

In a deal for Stafford, acquiring a pick high enough to package and move up for a top receiver or offensive lineman, or acquiring enough picks to package together to go after a few need positions would probably be worth listening to. In this case, I look less at that tasty No. 3 overall pick and more at No. 34 (and then some) … though you’ve got to at least ask, right?!
