Can the Giants get their money’s worth from their $69 million offensive line?

Can the Giants get their money’s worth from their $69 million offensive line?

The Giants haven’t been cheap, but is it worth it?

The New York Giants offensive line is always a topic of conversation among media and the Giants’ fanbase.

The team has seemingly been “rebuilding” their offensive line for the last decade, and the unit is often blamed for the team’s struggles. And while things are rarely as simple as they may appear in the moment — the line has certainly contributed the Giants’ struggles over the years.

GM Joe Schoen has certainly devoted resources to building a reliable offensive line. He spent high draft picks on Evan Neal, Josh Ezeudu,...

Phil Simms: Jaxson Dart has to be Giants’ starting QB before the season is over

Phil Simms: Jaxson Dart has to be Giants’ starting QB before the season is over

Simms throws cold water on the “sit for a whole season” idea

Phil Simms doesn’t want to hear about rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart sitting for the entirety of the 2025 season.

“That is the most overused stupid thing that I see people say on TV,” Simms told Kay Adams on the ‘Up & Adams Show’.

Simms pointed to his rookie season of 1979 when he as inserted into the lineup in Week 5.

“The ideal situation to me .... they get off to a decent start, we see the whole team is better than it was last year....

Make or break: 2025 a critical year for Giants’ LB Bobby Okereke

Make or break: 2025 a critical year for Giants’ LB Bobby Okereke

Veteran looking for bounce-back season

New York Giants’ inside linebacker Bobby Okereke is established as a good NFL player. Entering his age 29 season, Okereke will almost certainly be a starting linebacker for several seasons to come.

The question is whether or not that will be with the Giants.

Okereke had the best season of his career in 2023 after the Giants signed the Indianapolis Colts’ 2019 third-round pick to a four-year, $40 million free agent contract. He had 149 tackles and career highs in sacks (2.5), passes defenses (10), forced fumbles (4), tackles for loss (11) and quarterback hits...

Better or worse in 2025? New York Giants edge defenders

Better or worse in 2025? New York Giants edge defenders

The Giants should absolutely be better

Three excellent edge defenders is better than two. So, as we discuss the edge position for the New York Giants we are going to dispense with the usual “better or worse” format. Of course, the Giants will be better on the edge after adding Abdul Carter with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The questions are:

  • How will defensive coordinator Shane Bowen use his new toys? He has a deeper, more talented group of defensive linemen and a rebuilt secondary along with his edge trio.
  • How much better...

Third-round pick Darius Alexander signs rookie contract with Giants

Third-round pick Darius Alexander signs rookie contract with Giants

Only fourth-round pick Cam Skattebo remains unsigned

And then there was one.

Defensive tackle Darius Alexander, a third-round pick, signed his rookie contract with the New York Giants on Monday. That leaves running back Cam Skattebo, a fourth-round pick, as the only member of the seven-man draft class who is unsigned.

Alexander was the first player chosen in Round 3, No. 65 overall.

Per Over The Cap, Alexander’s contract, slotted by the Collective Bargaining Agreement, is a four-year deal worth $6.762 million with a signing bonus of $1.557 million. Alexander’s 2025 base salary will be $840,000 and his 2025 cap...

Deion Sanders defends Shedeur’s preparation for meeting with Giants

Deion Sanders defends Shedeur’s preparation for meeting with Giants

Prime Time says “my kids are built for everything”

There were a number of reports before the 2025 NFL Draft that the New York Giants soured on the idea of drafting quarterback Shedeur Sanders after an ill-fated meeting with Giants head coach Brian Daboll.

Now, Sanders’ father, NFL Hall of Famer and Colorado football coach Deion Sanders, has hit back at the idea that Shedeur would not have been prepared for a meeting with any NFL coach.

“When you sit up there and say something like he went into a meeting unprepared, like, dude,” continued Deion. “Shedeur Sanders? Who...

So, Odell Beckham Jr. never wanted to leave the New York Giants

So, Odell Beckham Jr. never wanted to leave the New York Giants

Then, he would have been well-advised to have acted like he wanted to stay

I was not going to write about Odell Beckham Jr.’s recent “never, ever wanted to leave the New York Giants” comment. Feelings about Beckham’s time with the Giants are deeply entrenched among fans, and reopening that conversation isn’t going to change any minds.

Beckham, however, went there. And the reaction to the opinion I posted Sunday evening on YouTube tells me it is a a topic Giants fans want to discuss. So, here we are.

Better or worse in 2025? New York Giants cornerbacks

Better or worse in 2025? New York Giants cornerbacks

Paulson Adebo signing is biggest reason the Giants should be better at this position

The New York Giants did not have a No. 1 cornerback capable of matching up with the best receiver on opposing teams in 2024. They did not have enough playmakers, or at least did not make enough plays as Giants cornerbacks intercepted only three passes in 2024. Their highest-graded cornerback in terms of passer rating against — Cor’Dale Flott with a 90.0, per Pro Football Focus — was 48th among 127 qualifiers.

The Giants replaced defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson with Marquand Manuel during the offseason....

Can Brian Daboll succeed where others have failed with Russell Wilson?

Can Brian Daboll succeed where others have failed with Russell Wilson?

That depends more on Wilson than Daboll

New York Giants fans, as well as the media, have understandably focused much of their attention on the Giants’ rookie quarterback, Jaxson Dart. In a way, though, that’s odd because the Giants also brought in veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, who has a Super Bowl ring, almost had another, is a good bet to make the Hall of Fame, and is likely to be the starting QB in Game 1 this year.

If you doubt Wilson’s HOF chances, take a look at the Pro Football Reference Hall of Fame Monitor. This formula weighs a...

Giants named a potential trade suitor for Atlanta Falcons’ TE Kyle Pitts

Giants named a potential trade suitor for Atlanta Falcons’ TE Kyle Pitts

Is this a deal you would make?

If Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts truly is on the trade block, should the New York Giants be among the suitors?

Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports reports that the Falcons have been listening to offers for the No. 4 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and that a Day 2 pick might pique the Falcons’ interest.

Is Pitts, whose production has declined dramatically since a Pro Bowl rookie season that saw him gain 1,026 receiving yards, worth giving up a Day 2 pick for? Should the Giants be interested?
