New York Giants news for Tuesday
Good morning New York Giants fans!
Will a potential trade spice up the Giants’ veteran QB search? Will the Giants draft a rookie QB? What’s going on at cornerback? Will the Giants invest draft picks in the trenches?
Ultimately, so much of what the Giants can do in free agency and the draft to shore up need areas will depend on how they address the quarterback situation. Until the QB plan begins to shake out, it’s difficult to contemplate what this team can and should look like in 2025. The cloudy crystal ball should start to clear up this week.
Albert Breer: The teams you’d suspect would have their hat in the ring have, indeed, thrown their hats in the ring. The New York Giants, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Las Vegas Raiders and others have shown interest.
What’s hard to know now, though, is what the Rams would be willing to take to part with Stafford. If it’s a first-round pick, would the aforementioned teams still be willing to do a deal at more than $50 million per year? And if that first-round pick is in the top 10, as is the case with three of the aforementioned four teams, would the Rams be willing to take a 2026 pick instead of one this year? And if not, how in the world do the Rams fix this with Stafford?
There is another way the Giants could get a quarterback, however, while adding an impact player at No. 3 overall. The Giants are well-positioned to potentially make a second first-round pick—Joe Schoen could package pick No. 34 and say a 2026 second-rounder to move back into Day 1. If Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss impresses during the pre-draft process, he could also work his way into first-round consideration.
The Giants get their quarterback. And one of the best non-quarterbacks in the class. If Dart can sling it in the NFL like he did in Oxford, it would be a true dream draft for the Giants.
After the combine, they will bring the draft’s top quarterbacks for in-person visits in North...
