New York Giants headlines for Friday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
It makes no sense to employ first-timers and then proceed to sack them before they get much of a chance to learn on the job. It happens so often — far too often — and it is in most cases more of a poor reflection on the person who does the hiring and less about the failings of the novice who gets canned.
Schoen took some hard hits the past two years, but Giants ownership stuck with him and his handiwork will soon be on display July 23, with the first practice of training camp. This looks to be the strongest of the four rosters Schoen has put together. It is definitely more talented and deeper than the 2022 edition, which can come off as a bizarre claim, considering that team won nine games in the regular season and one more in the playoffs.

New York Giants: B. The Giants entered the offseason needing a quarterback. They acquired three. In free agency, they brought in both Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston for a combined $14 million in cap space. It was a good bargain. The real investment was made in the draft by trading back into the first round to select Dart at No. 25 (after picking edge rusher Abdul Carter at No. 3).
The Giants landed safety Jevon Holland, for $15 million per year -- roughly the same as Camryn Bynum and less than Tre'von Moehrig -- despite being considered by some...
