At the outset of the offseason, no one knew who would be atop the New York Giants’ quarterback depth chart in 2025. The job appeared wide open, with any capable arm seemingly a fit to take over.
However, Giants general manager Joe Schoen has been extremely busy, signing Russell Wilson to a one-year contract and swinging a two-year deal with Jameis Winston. With former undrafted signee Tommy DeVito still on the roster, the Giants’ QB rotation appeared set for the short term.
Then, the 2025 NFL Draft arrived, and the Giants traded up to select Ole Miss’ Jaxson Dart with the 25th overall pick in the first round. While many teams enter training camp with four quarterbacks, one of them is typically someone with little to no experience or an athlete who’s never started the season on a 53-man roster.
In this case, the Giants have a former Super Bowl winner, a former No. 1 overall pick, and a first-round rookie to go with a local legend. Isn’t that a bit rich for one room?
Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton thinks so. In fact, he suggested that maybe the Giants would be best off by trading Winston, which would still give the Giants a starter with a high floor in Wilson and another with a high ceiling in Dart. Plus, they’d still have another inexpensive developmental option with DeVito. Not to mention, it would allow Winston to secure a job in a place where he may actually have a future instead of New York where he’ll never be more than a backup.
While the Giants felt like they needed Winston earlier, now they can operate from a position of power and recuperate some extra draft capital while finding a better situation for a well-liked player.
