New York Giants headlines for Friday
Good morning New York Giants fans!
Five Biggest Winners: New York Giants. The Giants were wise not to stop addressing the QB position after signing Jameis Winston last week. He now becomes their backup with the newly signed Russell Wilson leading the charge into 2025. Now we’ll see if they want to add a rookie to the mix in April. Beyond their solid start at QB, the Giants made some nice moves on defense by adding safety Jevon Holland and cornerback Paulson Adebo while improving the depth of their front seven. The Giants weren’t a QB away from anything significant, but they’ve quietly done a good job fortifying the roster at a position they still need to find a long-term answer for.
The 26-year-old local legend from New Jersey signed his ERFA tender to return to the Giants for a non-guaranteed, 1-year, $1 million contract. He knows the offense, so that's an edge that the former Don Bosco star has over anyone who comes into the QB room.
Where DeVito fits, either as a third QB on the active roster, on the practice squad or elsewhere, will be determined over the course of the offseason and later this summer.
Day 1 option: Shedeur Sanders, Colorado. If Sanders falls to No. 3, the Giants can address their biggest need right away. But if quarterbacks come off the board with the first two picks, New York could pivot to the top non-quarterback available and circle back to the position later.
Day 3 option: Will Howard, Ohio State. Howard, a highly experienced starter, could be a strong Day 2 or Day 3 option, as his 57.0% completion rate under pressure ranks No. 1 in the draft class.
