Tiki Barber makes case for Giants to move on from Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley / - - - Everyone is playing general manager these days as the 2022 NFL draft approaches. Talk radio hosts all have their strong opinions and attempt to impart them on their listeners. - One talk radio host, however, might have a little bit more mojo than the normal squaring head and that is WFAN’s Tiki Barber — the same same Tiki Barber who holds the New York Giants’ all-timer using and total yards records. - Barber believes the Giants, who are in full rebuild mode, should make it a clean break all around and part way with star running back Saquon Barkley and quarterback Daniel Jones. - “The reason I think they should try to trade Saquon is because if you’re going to zero to get your cap in order, just do it,” Tiki said on Wednesday. “Don’t try to mitigate the pain by keeping a popular player here. If you’re resetting, it’s a new regime, new philosophy. . . go all in. If you’re doing this and it’s gonna be painful, you’ve got to just go all in.” - Barber is probably right. - Barkley, after a Pro Bowl debut as a rookie in 2018, has done nothing but get hurt. He may never regain his 2018 form and his $7.2 million salary is weighing the Giants’ down. They are not actively shopping Barkley but will trade him if they get the right offer, but thus far that offer has not come. - When it come to Jones, the Giants have already committed to him for this season. We’ll see how deep that commitment is soon when Jones’ fifth-year option is due. - Barber believes Jones is not the guy the Giants should be rebuilding around. He’s been too inconsistent and even if they surround him with the right pieces, he still may not be talented enough to become the player they need him to be. - “If he’s not gonna be a top-10 quarterback, then why are you worried about figuring him out and trying to get a little bit above average quarterback? He’s never gonna be a top 10, maybe he’s 15, do you trust him to be like Eli [Manning] was? You trusted Eli because even if he was average, because if you got in a critical situation, he was showing up. You could count on that from Eli. Can you count on that from Daniel Jones?” - Good points all around.

Jalen Ramsey says 2020 fight with then-Giants WR Golden Tate was inevitable / - - - Former New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate is no stranger to controversy. Even before entering the NFL, he was known to be a bit of a hothead. - If not for that and some off-the-field issues, Tate likely would have been a first-round draft pick. Instead, he fell to the 60th overall pick in the second round and would spend the first four years of his career as a Seattle Seahawk. - After Seattle, Tate spent four years in Detroit and one in Philadelphia before landing in New York. - Even before the October 4, 2020 altercation with Los Angeles Rams defender Jalen Ramsey, Tate had his issues in New York. He missed the first four games of the 2019 season, his first with the Giants, under suspension after violating the NFL’s drug policy. Then in 2020, he was in an altercation with Ramsey in the middle of the field after the game ended. - - There’s a fight on the field after the game clock hits zero, press box consensus says it was Jalen Ramsey and Golden Tate involved pic.twitter.com/m6WhFUMhwf - — Nikki Kay (@NikkiKaySN1) October 4, 2020 - - - The dispute was non-football related as Ramsey had recently broken up with Tate’s sister, Breanna. Tate and Ramsey only tenuously got along in the first place, so the breakup only drove a bigger wedge between them. - Ramsey recently told Pivot Podcast that they both knew what was about to happen. - “We knew what we was gonna do,” Ramsey said. “I mean that’s his sister. That’s what he supposed to do too. But you mind your business, too.” - Ramsey even waited by the Giants’ locker room afterward, but stadium staff and security were able to prevent any further problems. He was fined over $15,000 for the incident, while Tate went unpunished. - The Giants released Tate after the 2020 season. In November of 2021, he signed a deal with the Tennessee Titans, but was released in January 2022. He is currently a free agent. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants hit a home run in Mike Tannenbaum's mock draft / - - - Mike Tannenbaum has the New York Giants addressing two vital needs in the 2022 NFL draft with the projected selections of Evan Neal and Kayvon Thibodeaux. - Tannenbaum has the Giants selecting Evan Neal, an offensive tackle from Alabama, with the fifth overall pick. - An offensive tackle pairing of Neal and Andrew Thomas gives quarterback Daniel Jones the protection he needs. Neal gave up just one sack last season, and he has 40 career starts under his belt. I considered NC State’s Ikem Ekwonu here, too, but I just believe there’s more certainty with Neal considering the level of competition he faced at Alabama. Being that dominant against SEC pass-rushers is something. - Neal is currently among the draft’s highest-graded offensive tackles after dominating SEC play as a left tackle. He was a three-year starter for the Crimson Tide where he played guard his freshman year and was then moved to right tackle for the 2020 National Championship season. Neal also gained some experience playing left tackle in his 2021 season where he was an All-American. - Two picks later, the Giants are projected to select a practice adversary for Neal with Kayvon Thibodeaux, a defensive end from Oregon. - The Giants managed just 34 sacks last season and have been looking for a game-changing pass-rusher for several years. No way they can pass on Thibodeaux’s ceiling, which is extremely high despite some concerns about his motor. He has the size, speed and power, and he posted 19 sacks over three seasons at Oregon. I’m pretty happy with the haul here for New York, landing Neal and Thibodeaux to address holes in a massive way. - The 2021 All-American had a stellar college career featuring 19.0 sacks and 35.5 tackles for loss in 30 games. The former No. 1 overall recruit is still somewhat of a raw prospect entering the draft but his natural athleticism, length, and power are things that can not be taught. - Due to his lack of multiple pass rush moves and subpar play recognition ability, Thibodeaux has fallen in most mock drafts. However, a fall to seventh overall still seems unlikely due to his untapped potential. - Nevertheless, if Thibodeaux is on the board with the seventh overall pick it seems like a no-brainer for the Giants to draft him. - Will Giants draft Kayvon Thibodeaux? - Powered By PickUp - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - -

2022 NFL draft: Giants attend Alabama pro day / - - - It should come as no surprise

2022 NFL draft: Giants attend Alabama pro day / - - - It should come as no surprise that the New York Giants sent personnel to the University of Alabama’s 2022 pro day. Nick Saban is one of the winningest head coaches in NCAA history and is known to turn out solid NFL stock each year. - Given the Giants’ need to fill so many gaps, it’s not hard to see why they were there. - The Alabama players on display Wednesday were as follows: EDGE Christopher Allen, CB Jaylen Armour-Davis, WR Slade Bolden, LB Christian Harris, CB Josh Jobe, DL Phidarian Mathis, OT Evan Neal, OL Chris Owens, DT LaBryan Ray, RB Brian Robinson and DB Daniel Wright. - In addition to the Giants, the Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets and at least 15 other teams were in attendance. The Giants were represented by director of college scouting, Chris Pettit. - - So far here are the NFL teams in attendance at Alabama’s 2022 Pro Day: - -Jaguars-Jets-Lions-Steelers-Cowboys-Dolphins-Cardinals-Broncos-Bengals-Seahawks-49ers-Texans-Rams-Patriots-Saints-Vikings-Chiefs-Giants - — Pat Dowd (@Pat_Dowd77) March 30, 2022 - - - - #Giants Director of College Scouting Chris Pettit talking to Evan Neal prior to #Alabama Pro Day #TogetherBlue pic.twitter.com/NmO1flOcZg - — Giants Today (@NYGToday) March 30, 2022 - - - Saban’s success in developing young players is obvious throughout his career, but certainly during his tenure at Alabama, where he has won six of his seven national titles. - The Giants are undergoing some serious changes this year, and having players who are properly developed and ready to play is important, especially on the defensive side of the ball. And, of course, at right tackle where Evan Neal would be a gem of a pick. - In less than a month, the 2022 NFL draft will commence. There are a handful of pro days left and a lot of boxes left to check before teams can make solid decisions on draft picks. - Will Giants draft Evan Neal? - Powered By PickUp - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Alex Bachman working out with Baker Mayfield / - - - The Cleveland Browns are in the process of moving on from quarterback Baker Mayfield following the acquisition of fellow quarterback Deshaun Watson. - Where Mayfield ultimately lands remains to be seen but in the interim, he’s staying ready by throwing to several current and former NFL wide receivers. And among them just so happens to be Alex Bachman of the New York Giants. - - From NFL Now on @nflnetwork: Baker Mayfield’s plan is to throw on his own (Cole Beasley, Danny Amendola and Alex Bachman are his current targets) while the #Browns work on a trade. - Meanwhile, Beasley is feeling better after three broken ribs affected his play late last season. pic.twitter.com/WyhPow1Qeb - — Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) March 30, 2022 - - - Bachman, who was signed by the Los Angeles Rams as an undrafted free agent out of Wake Forest in 2019, joined the Giants that same year. He was signed to Big Blue’s practice squad roughly a month after L.A. waived him with an injury settlement. - In his three years with the Giants, Bachman has spent time on and off of both the practice squad and active roster. He’s appeared in four games, including three last season, but has yet to draw a target. He has, however, returned four kickoffs for 94 yards and one punt for 16 yards. - Back in January, the Giants signed Bachman to a reserve/futures deal. - Bachman working with Mayfield is of little consequence, but the fact that he’s also working alongside wide receiver Cole Beasley is somewhat interesting. Beasley, a current free agent, has a lengthy history with Giants general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll, and could become a potential option for the team somewhere down the line. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Brian Daboll: Empathizing with players is important / - - - New York Giants first-year head coach Brian Daboll admits he’s got a lot of catching up to do with his new team. He’s the type of guy who is a hands-on manager, especially when it comes to player relationships. - “I probably haven’t hit everybody, to be honest with you,” Daboll told reporters at the NFL owners meetings on Tuesday. “I’ve talked to a few people just to introduce myself. Again, there’s a long time to learn football and things like that and we’ll get to that. Even this first week, one of the things I talked to the coaches about was let’s get to know these players. We haven’t really been around them. Let’s ask them about their families, what they like. It’s important to get to know one another. - “You’re going to be in a competitive situation and you’re going to face a lot of tough times in this league and you can lean on people when you have relationships with them, because you’re building trust because there’s going to be tough times. I’ve said it a million times and I’ve gone through them in my career I’d say quite a bit where I’ve lost or had some really good times. You’re sharing them with the guys that you’re in the building with each day and you’re working hard to achieve a goal and fighting through some things that don’t go your way. I think that’s what brings people closer together.” - Daboll is all about the human side of NFL life. He realizes that he’s dealing with young men who are in unique situations and could use guidance along with the regimentation they receive. - “When things come out, I try to stay on top of it,” Daboll said. “Look, I have kids that are 22 and 21 years old and I’m sure you all have kids that are whatever ages. They’re people first. You can say whatever you want. You can say, ‘Hey, people are just writing stuff or reporting stuff.’ I think it’s important to show a little empathy, too, to the guys in the situations that they’re in. - “I know it’s a tough business, but I think it’s a people business, too. I think the more upfront and the more transparent you can be and even when things are being said, which look, at this time of year there’s a million things being said. Some are probably true. Some are probably not true. I understand that. I like being transparent with these guys and letting them know where I stand and if I do hear something that comes across the wave, I’ll say yeah, ‘this isn’t the case’ or ‘just hang tight.’ I think showing empathy goes a long way. Probably something 15, 10 years ago I wasn’t good at either.” - A fresh approach. Let’s see if it works. - Daboll Year 1: How far will Giants

Giants' Brian Daboll has simple plan to fix Kadarius Toney, Kenny Golladay / - - - The New York Giants, under former head coach Joe Judge and former offensive coordinator Jason Garrett, misused wide receivers Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney. There’s no two-ways about that. - Golladay was signed to a massive four-year, $72 million deal because he’s a downfield threat capable of beating defenders on contested balls. But when the Giants employed him on offense a season ago, that’s not at all how he was used. - Rarely was Golladay targeted on third-down or in the red zone, and even less frequently was he given the opportunity to win 50-50 balls. That frustration boiled over at times with him screaming at Garrett on national TV at one point. - Similarly, Toney was frustrated due to his misuse. He was a human highlight reel at Florida and should have been used more creatively. Instead, he was often kept inside and targeted on receiver screens. - Both players also battled through injuries, limiting their time on the field. But even if they had stayed healthy, precious few had any confidence that the Giants would have used them correctly. - Newly hired head coach Brian Daboll is here to change all of that and has a very simple plan to get it done. - “You try to do as much work as you can on these guys before they get here to see what have they been successful at and figure out how to use them in the things that they’ve excelled at,” Daboll told reporters on Tuesday. “But you’ve got to see them do the things you’re going to ask them to do in the offense and there’s plays we’re going through right now that, heck, if these guys want to turn inside on this route let’s figure it out when they get here and ask them.” - Talk to the players? Seek their input? Find out what they’re comfortable with and then use them to their strengths? What a novel idea. - “Look, with good players that’s what you need to be successful,” Daboll added. “Those guys are out there doing it and they’re out there playing the one on one game when it’s man to man coverage. Zone is a little bit different, we have to be pretty detailed on our zone assignments and understand the spacing on the quarterback and be where they’re supposed to be but absolutely. I think you’d be foolish if you don’t take input from the guys that are out there doing it.” - Daboll’s approach won’t be specific to just Golladay and Toney. He wants input from all of his players before devising schemes and routes that fit them best. The same will apply to the other receivers, tight ends and running back. It will, of course, also apply to quarterback Daniel Jones.

2022 NFL draft: Giants focused on adding a right tackle / - - - The New York Giants

2022 NFL draft: Giants focused on adding a right tackle / - - - The New York Giants entered the offseason with a specific focus on repairing the offensive line. They needed as many as four new starters and several versatile reserves. - Thus far, general manager Joe Schoen has stayed true to his word. The team has added five new offensive linemen with starting experience in the NFL, many of them on the interior. But one thing the Giants have not done is sign a new starting right tackle. - There’s a method to that madness, however. The 2022 NFL draft is packed full of top-end tackle talent and the Giants fully intend to dip their toe into that pool. - “I’d say we’ll be looking to add . . . that’s an important spot,” head coach Brian Daboll said of the team’s need for a right tackle. - Even if there’s a run on right tackles early, the Giants should still have an option come pick No. 5. Evan Neal (Alabama), Ikem Ekwonu (North Carolina State) and Charles Cross (Mississippi State) are the top three at the position and New York has spent significant time scouting all three. - Assuming things go according to plan and the Giants do end up with one of the trio, their 2022 offensive line might look a little something like this: - - LT Andrew Thomas - LG Mark Glowinski - C Jon Feliciano - RG Max Garcia - Neal/Ekwonu/Cross - - At least on paper, that would be significant improvement over any group the Giants have fielded in the past decade. And it would certainly give quarterback Daniel Jones a legitimate chance to prove his worth behind a capable — even if they’re simply average — offensive line. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - Will Giants draft an O-lineman with their first pick? - Powered By PickUp - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Report: Giants have strong interest in Ahmad 'Sauce' Gardner / The 2022 NFL draft is less than a month away

Report: Giants have strong interest in Ahmad 'Sauce' Gardner / The 2022 NFL draft is less than a month away and the New York Giants have a lot of holes to fill. It’s not just about filling positions, but adding depth and youth to a team that needs to rebuild. - Last week, Giants general manager Joe Schoen attended the Cincinnati Bearcats’ pro day, along with some 90 additional front office members from around the league. Bearcats quarterback Desmond Ridder was a major focal point, but so to was cornerback Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner. - In fact, Ralph Vacchiano of SNY reports the Giants have a particularly strong interest in Gardner. - With the Giants and Jets holding a combined four top 10 picks in the 2022 NFL draft, it’s inevitable that they’ll focus on some of the same players. And their first battle could be over “Sauce.” - Both New York teams have a strong interest in Cincinnati cornerback Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner, and both teams will be bringing him in for one of their Top 30 pre-draft visits, according to an NFL source. And while an official visit doesn’t always mean a team is considering picking a player, Gardner is widely considered the best cornerback in the draft and is clearly in play for the Giants at picks 5 and 7 and the Jets at 4 and 10. - The Giants aren’t alone, of course. Gardner is projected to go somewhere in the top 10 of the first round. The New York Jets, as Vacchiano notes, also have a high interest in Gardner. - Both the Giants and Jets have two top 10 picks this year and while there is some debate if No. 4 is too high to take Gardner, the Jets might just do it to keep the Giants from nabbing him. - As for the Giants. Schoen met with Gardner for dinner after his pro day, and both teams met with him at the combine earlier this month. - Over his three seasons in Cincinnati, Gardner did not give up a single touchdown. He reeled in nine interceptions and two touchdowns as a Bearcat, and even raked in a few sacks in 2021. - The Giants have a big need at corner, especially if James Bradberry goes elsewhere. Gardner is talented, smart and fast. And, at 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, his size is perfect for matching up with bigger wideouts on the field. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has

Cardinals sign ex-Giants OL Will Hernandez / - - - Free agency is in full swing, which means that the New York Giants aren’t just looking for players to add, but which players to keep. - Some players don’t give them the choice, though, which is what makes free agency so exciting — you never know which players will end up on each team. - Former Giants offensive lineman Will Hernandez has decided that his time in New York is over. He signed with the Arizona Cardinals on Monday. - Hernandez was drafted in the second round of the 2018 NFL draft (the 34th overall pick). Prior to entering the draft, Hernandez played in 49 games over his career at the University of Texas-El Paso. After the 2016 season, he was named second-team All-American, and after the 2017 season, he was named to the Conference USA first-team. - The Giants had high hopes for Hernandez, who showed real promise as a rookie, but that promise was not realized. 2021 was Hernandez’s worst season in New York, by far, so it’s no real surprise that the Giants didn’t highly pursue him when his contract was up. - Enter the Cardinals, who have decided to sign Hernandez to a one-year contract. He will reunite with one of his college coaches in Arizona, Sean Kugler, who currently serves as the Cardinals’ offensive line coach. He was the head coach at UTEP when Hernandez was a player. - Should the Cards sign Hernandez to a large deal, it may factor into the compensatory pick formula. But if not, he won’t. And, interestingly, the Giants just signed guard Max Garcia, a former Cardinal. - It’s not a swap, per se, but in an odd turn of events, Arizona and New York have “traded” players. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants hope to have Sterling Shepard, Blake Martinez back by August / - - - Both wide receiver

Giants hope to have Sterling Shepard, Blake Martinez back by August / - - - Both wide receiver Sterling Shepard and linebacker Blake Martinez took pay cuts this offseason in order to return to the New York Giants in 2022. They also likely agreed to the salary reduction because they’re coming off of injury and weren’t looking at a strong market. - Martinez, of course, suffered a torn ACL in Week 3 against the Atlanta Falcons. Shepard later suffered a torn Achilles in a Week 15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Both landed on season-ending injured reserve. - Although they are serious injuries to come back from, Giants general manager Joe Schoen remains hopeful both players will return to the field in August ahead of the 2022 regular season. - “Both those guys are in there every day,” Schoen told reporters on Monday. “Both working hard. I see them at lunch every day. Two guys I really enjoy being around, leaders, busting their butt. I think Blake could be back before Shep, just because of the timeline of the injury, but I’ve been really impressed with both of them and their work ethic and the time that they’re putting in. - “Hopefully by August. Again, we’re not going to rush them along. We don’t play until September. Ease those guys along. Again, they’re two professionals that understand their bodies, leadership, they understand their process. The goal is to have them on the field in August.” - The news was not nearly as positive for offensive lineman Nick Gates, who suffered a stomach-turning leg fracture in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. He required at least six surgeries and recently suffered a minor setback in his recovery. - - — Giants taking a wait-and-see approach with OL Nick Gates, per Joe Schoen.

At the time, only wide receiver Kadarius Toney was crossed off the list. - Asked specifically about running back Saquon Barkley, Schoen indicated a willingness to deal his star offensive player. - “I’m open to everything,” Schoen said at the time. “I’ll listen to anybody if it’s trading a couple players. I’m not going to say the entire roster, we’re open for business on the entire roster, but if anybody’s going to call and they’re interested in any of our players, I’ll certainly listen.” - Those comments took on a life of their own. In the month since, Barkley’s trade speculation has run high and the Giants have even received some calls. However, as it turns out, they’re not actively shopping Barkley. In fact, they don’t even necessarily seem interested in dealing him at all. - But because his combine comments sparked such a viral news wave, Schoen personally reached out to Barkley to clarify his stance. - “After I talked to you guys (at the combine), but maybe an hour or whatever it was, I called him right away and he answered,” Schoen told reporters on Monday at the NFL owners meetings. “We’ve had a great relationship since I’ve been here. I’ve got a really good relationship with his agent, and I spoke with her during the combine, too.” - Ultimately, Schoen says, calls are coming in on Barkley but the team is not actively looking to move him. - “That was taken a little bit out of context at the combine,” Schoen added. “I have not called one team on Saquon Barkley, okay? Everybody ran with that from the combine, I said I would listen if people called on any player, so it would be irresponsible if I didn’t. That doesn’t mean I’m going to do every deal, so I haven’t called one team on Saquon Barkley. I’ve gotten calls about a few of our players and he’s one where a couple teams have reached out, but again, I’m not shopping Saquon Barkley. - “It’d be irresponsible if a team calls — I think 31 other GMs would say the same thing — if somebody is going to call and offer you something ridiculous, you’re going to listen. It doesn’t mean you’re going to do any deal or you’re going to say ‘yes’ to it. We’ve got an offensive head coach (Brian Daboll). He likes to have as many weapons and toys as he can.” - Schoen, Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will get their first on-field look at Barkley in roughly two weeks when the Giants conduct their pre-2022 NFL draft minicamp in East Rutherford. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - -

Giants' Brian Daboll offers positive update on Daniel Jones' neck injury / One of the issues surrounding the New York

Giants' Brian Daboll offers positive update on Daniel Jones' neck injury / One of the issues surrounding the New York Giants’ decision to stick with fourth-year former first rounder Daniel Jones as quarterback this season was his health. - Jones missed the final six games of last season with a neck injury and there was no clarity on his ailment. Even as Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll took over for Joe Judge and Dave Gettleman, uncertainty lingered. - But on Tuesday at the annual NFL owners meetings at The Breakers in Palm Beach, Florida, Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Jones’ neck would not keep him from taking the field this spring at the team’s OTAs. Those will take place next month. - - Great news: Brian Daboll says Daniel Jones (neck) will be healthy and ready to go when the #Giants hit the field this spring https://t.co/Bvim1Makbw - — Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) March 29, 2022 - - - Jones’ fifth-year option is due in May and the Giants want to see if he is worth hitching their wagon to. His first three seasons were riddled with injuries — both his and his teammates’ — and as a result, his play was a wild rollercoaster ride with more more dips than rises. - “We have until May 2 to decide that,” Schoen said on Monday. “Like I said at the combine, we’re going to still continue to develop that and consider that. With guys coming in in two weeks (for the start of the offseason program), it’s a real advantage. We’ll get to be around guys in the building for four weeks or three weeks before the draft and have a veteran minicamp right before the draft. Again, we’ll continue to have those conversations as we move forward.” - The Giants were stung last season by a lack of readiness and depth at the quarterback position. Jones’ injury left the Giants in the hands of Mike Glennon and then Jake Fromm, neither of whom could rally the offense. - This year, Schoen has already made sure the Giants are sufficiently covered at quarterback. He signed veteran Tyrod Taylor to back up Jones. - “It was a priority,” said Schoen of the backup quarterback role. “I go back to — I can’t remember if it was my opening press conference or I said it at the combine to you guys, backup quarterback would always be a priority of mine. - “Where I was last year, we got a little bit lucky at the value that we were able to get at what we thought was a good player at that value. I go back to my time in Miami, Ryan Tannehill gets hurt, tears his ACL, Matt Moore came in, kept the season alive and we went to the playoffs. We lost to Pittsburgh, but again, I think that’s an important position to have where someone can come in and steady the ship and win a few ballgames

Giants willing to select best player available in 2022 NFL draft / - - - The New York

Giants willing to select best player available in 2022 NFL draft / - - - The New York Giants are heading into the 2022 NFL draft in good position to solve a slew of needs on their subpar roster. - General manager Joe Schoen is aware of the clamoring from the ownership group and the fans to upgrade the offensive line — and he may just do so — but he’s not locked into that mindset. - Schoen knows the Giants have so many needs, he can pick a player at just about any position and he would not be wrong in doing so. - “Really, honestly, right now, we’re trying to find, ‘Hey, who are seven players we like?’ I mentioned this at the combine, if we find seven players that we like as players, as people, that’ll be good for the organization, I’ll sleep good at night and then we’ll get into that, ‘Maybe we need 10 guys, maybe we need 11, maybe we need 13,’ if we decide to move back, depending on where we are,” Schoen told reporters on Monday. - “We have enough needs on the roster that I think you can go take the best player available.” - Schoen has been adding veteran linemen all offseason, especially on the interior of the line, and appears to be lining up some of the top offensive tackles in the first round of the draft. The Giants hold the firth and seventh selections in this year’s draft. - It’s almost a certainty that one of the top three rated tackles — Alabama’s Evan Neal, Ikem Ekwonu of North Carolina State and Mississippi State’s Charles Cross — will be available at No. 5 (and even at No. 7 should Carolina select a quarterback at No. 6), but Schoen is keenly aware of the team’s other needs. - The Giants are in the market for a safety after releasing Logan Ryan last week and if they trade James Bradberry, they’ll be looking to grab a top corner. Tight end is also a glaring need as is inside linebacker, and — of course, as always — a pass rusher. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Joe Schoen still open to extending James Bradberry's contract / - - - New York Giants general

Giants' Joe Schoen still open to extending James Bradberry's contract / - - - New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen would like to stick to his guns and not extend some of the bloated player contracts he inherited from his predecessor, Dave Gettleman. - There will have to be exceptions to that, of course, as in the potential case of star cornerback James Bradberry. - Bradberry has been the subject of trade rumors due to his high salary cap hit and the Giants’ dire need for salary cap space, and a recent New York Daily News report says the team close to dealing him. - However, while speaking with reporters at the NFL owners meetings on Monday, Schoen left the door open to extending Bradberry’s contract. - “He’s a good corner who was a Pro Bowler two years ago (2020), and he’s 28-years old and can still play at a high level and he’s on our roster,” Schoen said of Bradberry. “People have called about certain players and people have value. Again, like I said, he’s 28-years old. He’s two years removed from a Pro Bowl season. He’s still a high caliber starting corner. - “If it’s the right offer and it makes sense for the New York Giants, then I’ve got to consider (it). . . a last resort is converting and restructuring contracts, so there’s ways we can get creative if we need to.” - Bradberry is entering the third year of a three-year, $43.5 million deal which carries a salary cap hit of $21,863,889 for 2022. The Giants could simply release him but they would still be on the hook for approximately $12 million in the form of a dead cap charge. - The Giants don’t want to trade the 28-year-old former Pro Bowler if they don’t have to, but they almost have to. They are barely under the league’s $208.6 million salary cap and Bradberry’s is the only contract on their roster they can terminate or renegotiate that would provide them the much needed salary cap space to operate this season. - There has been some reported interest in Bradberry by teams around the league, but the sticking point has been his lofty salary. Teams are asking the Giants to absorb a portion of that to level out the trade — something the Giants are reportedly open to in the right scenario. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please

Giants' Tim McDonnell attends UNC pro day / The New York Giants continue their scouting of potential 2022 NFL draft picks on Monday as Tim McDonnell attended the University of North Carolina’s pro day. - The director of player personnel for Big Blue brought quarterback coach Shea Tierney along for the ride to check out UNC quarterback Sam Howell. - - List of NFL executives at UNC pro-day to see QB Sam Howell include: Kevin Colbert & Brandon Hunt (Steelers), Jeff Ireland (Saints), Chris Spielman (Lions), Pat Stewart (Panthers), Marty Hurney (Commanders), and Tim McDonnell (Giants). https://t.co/q7wzwhmrwy - — Jim Nagy (@JimNagy_SB) March 28, 2022 - - - Hailing from Indian Trail, North Carolina, the 6-foot-1, 220-pound quarterback has made quite the name for himself. During his three years at UNC, he threw for over 10,000 yards and 92 touchdowns. He also ran in 17 touchdowns and caught two more. - Howell is certainly not afraid to score, and definitely not afraid to run, but Daniel Jones is still young and has not had an opportunity to fully prove himself behind an onslaught of offensive injuries and inconsistencies. - Given the unlikelihood that the Giants draft a quarterback in 2022, the purpose of this trip is more about establishing general manager Joe Schoen’s evaluation process for 2023. It’s a new regime, a new system and a new process for the entire front office staff and roster of players to learn. - This year is for rebuilding personnel around Schoen’s vision and establishing processes for next year, starting with who scouts players, how they are evaluated and what Schoen is looking for from his staff. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants trade down in latest Touchdown Wire mock draft / - - - The 2022 NFL draft is just a month away and the mock drafts are in full swing. In his latest mock of the first round, Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar has the New York Giants addressing several needs while preparing for the future. - The Giants hold the fifth and seventh selections in the first round of this year’s draft and are in the driver’s seat to select a top stud as well as trade for more and future draft capital. Farrar has them doing just that. - Round 1, Pick No. 5: TRADE (with Pittsburgh) - The Giants cash in right away by accepting a trade with the Steelers, who use the pick to select Liberty quarterback Malik Willis. - In return, the Giants will likely receive a package of picks that include the 20th and 52nd selections in this draft, the Steelers’ 2023 first rounder and perhaps an early Day 3 pick in either this draft or the next. - The trade makes sense as several of the Giants’ targets are off the board. Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton, Michigan edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson, Alabama tackle Evan Neal and Cincinnati cornerback Ahmad ‘Sauce’ Gardner were gone by the time the Giants were on the clock. - Round 1, Pick No. 7: Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State - A ‘plug-and-play’ solution at right tackle who NFL.com draft analyst Lance Zierlein sees as a combination of Tristan Wirfs and Taylor Moten. Cross has great size and agility and would be the perfect bookend to another former first round pick, left tackle Andrew Thomas. - Round 1, Pick No. 20: Jermaine Johnson II, EDGE, Florida State - The Giants’ pass rush has been anemic for years now and they need an edge presence that can play all three downs. Johnson can be that player. The Georgia transfer got lost in the shuffle but is now seen as a top prospect. - Johnson is 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds with room to grow and has 4.58 speed. The Giants have not had a player of this caliber since Justin Tuck, and Johnson may just be a more athletic version of the Giant great. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - NFL Draft: What will NYG do with first 2 picks? - Powered By PickUp - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - -

Giants' John Mara: 'God willing' the offensive line will be better / - - - The New York Giants are in the midst of a rebuild and what better place to start than the offensive line, the poster child for all of their recent offensive ills. - The Giants entered the offseason with just one position — left tackle (Andrew Thomas) — spoken for, which is an unusual predicament when rebuilding a line. Usually, team have everything but the left tackle in place. - With additions at guard, center and tackle in the form of free agents Mark Glowinski, Jon Feliciano, Matt Gono and Jamil Douglas, the Giants have added some starters and key depth to a unit that also sports holdovers Shane Lemieux, Ben Bredeson, Matt Peart and Nick Gates among others. - That gives Giants co-owner John Mara some hope. But that came with a prayer to the good Lord above. - - John Mara: “Our offensive line should be better, god willing.” - — Zack Rosenblatt (@ZackBlatt) March 27, 2022 - - - “Our offensive line should be better,” Mara said. “God willing.” - The Giants also currently own the fifth, seventh and 36th overall picks and are expected to address the line with one or more of those selections. They will be in excellent position to grab one of the three top tackles in the draft in Alabama’s Evan Neal, Ikem Ekwonu of North Carolina State and Mississippi State’s Charles Cross. - Last year, the line was hit with a slew of injuries early on and the team was forced to trade for backup players as well as scour the waiver wire for viable options. As a result, the line never got its legs under it and the offense was rendered dysfunctional and finished 31st in the league. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - Will Giants draft an O-lineman with their first pick? - Powered By PickUp - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' John Mara won't settle with Brian Flores: 'Truth will come out' / - - - The New York Giants have been relatively tight-lipped since being slapped with a lawsuit from Brian Flores, who interviewed for the team’s head coaching position earlier this offseason. - Flores alleges the Giants ran him through a “sham” process to give the impression a minority candidate was a serious contender for the job. In fact, Flores was so certain of that he filed the lawsuit before his interview process with the organization had even been completed. - As Flores left East Rutherford following his final interview, the Giants were immediately served with the lawsuit. - The team issued two statements after news of the lawsuit broke — the first denied the allegations and the second insinuated that Flores was flat-out lying. And that was a stance Giants co-owner John Mara doubled down on while speaking to the media at the NFL owners meetings in Florida on Sunday. - “I’m not settling,” Mara said bluntly. “Because the allegations are false and we’re very comfortable with our hiring process. It was a fair process and we ended up making the decision we made based on a lot of factors, none of which had anything to do with race.” - As part of the lawsuit, Flores shared an unfortunate text exchange between he and New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, who has a history with the Giants organization. In them, Belichick congratulates Flores for getting the job but had been mistaking him for Brian Daboll, whom the team ultimately hired as their next head coach. - Flores claims the mistaken text is proof of systemic racism in the NFL’s hiring practices and that Belichick still has heavy influence in East Rutherford. - The Giants also denied that claim in a previous statement, but Mara chose to elaborate on it a bit anyway. - “I haven’t spoken or communicated with Bill since we played [the Patriots] in the preseason last summer and to my knowledge nobody in the organization has communicated with him either,” Mara said. - Why hasn’t Mara contacted Belichick for clarification on the whole situation? - “Why should I?” Mara remarked. “We made our hiring decision and we’re happy with that decision. I think the truth will come out eventually: He didn’t speak with anybody in our organization.” - And that — for now — is that. Mara and the Giants will see Flores in court. - - RelatedIf Giants request arbitration, Brian Flores wants it to be deniedGiants' Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll decline to address Brian Flores lawsuitBrian Flores' class action lawsuit against NFL, Giants will remain active - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - -

John Mara confirms Giants not actively shopping Saquon Barkley / - - - One of the bigger names

John Mara confirms Giants not actively shopping Saquon Barkley / - - - One of the bigger names that has been floated around in trade talks this offseason is New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley. However, although it has been heavily talked about, it appears a deal for Barkley is not imminent. - Barkley, of course, was the Giants’ first-round pick (second overall) in the 2018 NFL draft and went on to win Offensive Rookie of the Year. But ever since then, Barkley has been riddled with injury and many wonder if he is even worth a second contract from Big Blue at this point. - Giants co-owner John Mara met with reporters at the NFL owners meetings in Florida on Sunday and shut down any notion that a Barkley trade was actively being discussed. He did, however, leave the door open for that to change. - - John Mara on Saquon Barkley: "We’re not shopping Saquon but Joe’s the general manager. If he and the head coach want to make a personnel decision and they have a conviction about it I’m not going to interfere with it. But that’s not something we’re actively looking to do.'' - — Paul Schwartz (@NYPost_Schwartz) March 27, 2022 - - - “We’re not shopping Saquon but Joe’s the general manager. If he and the head coach want to make a personnel decision and they have a conviction about it, I’m not going to interfere with it. But that’s not something we’re actively looking to do,” Mara said. - Barkley’s value has never been lower after failing to do much during the 2021 season returning from a major knee injury. - Many believe that Barkley was not fully healthy last season and if he is able to get back to a healthy state behind what will hopefully be an improved offensive line, maybe he can get back closer to the player he was in his rookie year. - Many fans are hopeful the Giants can fix the offensive line once and for all in the upcoming draft next month. - Although Mara has said they aren’t shopping Barkley, if the right offer came along general manager Joe Schoen would certainly move him as every player has his price. After all, Schoen said the only untouchable was 2021 first-round pick Kadarius Toney. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - Will Saquon Barkley be traded this offseason? - Powered By PickUp - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error

Report: Giants close to finalizing trade of James Bradberry / - - - The New York Giants have intended to trade cornerback James Bradberry since the onset of free agency and now it’s finally going to happen. - Despite an unexpectedly dry market, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports that the Giants are close to finalizing a trade of Bradberry. And in addition to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts are also in play. - GM Joe Schoen is expected to unload the team’s best defensive back soon, according to league sources here at The Breakers luxury resort in Palm Beach, Fla. - The Houston Texans, Kansas City Chiefs and Indianapolis Colts are teams to watch in a Bradberry trade, sources say. - What the Giants get in return for Bradberry remains to be seen, but the involvement of three teams can only help improve New York’s eventual haul. - Still, the Giants aren’t necessarily pleased to have to trade Bradberry. While speaking at the NFL owners meetings in Florida on Sunday, co-owner John Mara praised the veteran and admitted his departure would “hurt.” - “That would hurt because he’s been a very good player and he’s been a consummate professional for us,” Mara told reporters. “But the cap situation is what it is. So we’d have to consider all options there.” - If Bradberry is traded in the coming days, it will mark the second veteran departure from the secondary this month. The team had previously released safety Logan Ryan, eating a ton of dead cap in the process. - “It was a decision that Brian and Joe made, they decided they wanted to move on so I wasn’t gonna block it,” Mara said. “I was sorry to see him go. I thought he was a good player who did some great thigs for our community. But if our head coach and general manager make a football decision, I’m not gonna block it.” - With needs at both cornerback and safety, keep an eye on Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner and Kyle Hamilton when the Giants come up at No. 5 and No. 7 in the 2022 NFL draft. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - Will Bradberry be on NYG roster to start next season? - Powered By PickUp - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks

Giants' John Mara offers emphatic support of Daniel Jones / New York Giants co-owner John Mara is not backing down

Giants' John Mara offers emphatic support of Daniel Jones / New York Giants co-owner John Mara is not backing down on his support of quarterback Daniel Jones. In fact, he’s doubling and tripling down. - While speaking to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post at the NFL owners meetings in Palm Beach, Mara admitted to a sad reality: the Giants have not fielded an even remotely competitive team since Jones was drafted sixth overall in 2019. - Mara blamed injuries for some of the team’s woes. - “You tell me what quarterback could have thrived over these last couple years with what we had out there on offense?” Mara said. “I was in a health and safety committee meeting the other day and they showed our injuries over the last four years as compared with [other teams]. The last four years, we had more injuries than anybody in the league and a lot of ’em were on offense. So let’s give him a chance with a new staff and a better offensive line and we think he’ll be very successful.” - The Giants are the NFL’s most-injured team since 2009. That’s an undeniably dose of reality. - Beyond just that, Mara has seen flashes in Jones that prove his ceiling remains high. One game he cited was not the comeback victory over Tampa Bay during Jones’ rookie season, but a 27-21 overtime victory in New Orleans this past season. - That was a win that came with the Giants sporting one of their thinnest rosters in recent memory. - “We still have a lot of confidence in Daniel and think he’s going to be a very good quarterback if we just put the right pieces around him and give him a little bit more continuity and stability,” Mara said. “He hasn’t had that since he’s been here. Let’s give him a chance to prove himself. He’s shown flashes of it, for sure. - “You go back to that game in New Orleans, he played as well as anybody ever could have expected. We think there’s a lot more of that left in him if we can just put the right pieces around him.” - The signing of veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor doesn’t change Mara’s opinion on Jones. It does, however, give him confidence in the event Jones, who has a history with injuries, misses time. - “I think having Tyrod Taylor will certainly let us sleep better at night, knowing that if something happens to Daniel we have somebody who can walk in there and at least allow us to compete and win some games,” Mara added. - Ultimately, Mara says, 2022 will be The Daniel Jones Show. General manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll are on board. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - -

List includes #Titans, #Cardinals, #Buccaneers, #Giants(2x), #Bills, #Raiders, #Cowboys and #Seahawks. - Otton is an exciting TE prospect. - — Justin M (@JustinM_NFL) March 23, 2022 - - - Otten fits the physical prototype at the position at 6-feet-5 and 247 pounds. His senior season was interrupted by games missed to COVID-19 and a foot injury, but his tape shows that he could be a complete tight end at the pro level despite his tamped-down statistics. - “Otton is an instinctive route-runner with agile feet in tight quarters and a great feel for changing speeds inside the route,” writes NFL.com draft analyst Lance Zierlein. - “He has sudden, reliable hands, and is skilled and athletic enough to shine against man or zone coverages. As with all UW tight ends, Otton was expected to block for the run game and did so with adequate technique. He will need to bolster his play strength and aggression levels to better execute his blocking itinerary at the next level. He’s an ascending combination tight end with starting talent. He should become a more productive pro than college player as a likely Day 2 selection.” - The Giants have picks 36, 67 and 81 on Day 2 of the draft. It’s possible Otten falls to the fourth round, but don’t count on it. This is a solid year for tight ends but the ones that can both block and make plays in the passing game will go quickly and Otten is considered in that group. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Man convicted in shooting of ex-Giants CB Corey Ballentine / Francisco Mendez, the 21-year-old man who shot former New York

Man convicted in shooting of ex-Giants CB Corey Ballentine / Francisco Mendez, the 21-year-old man who shot former New York Giants cornerback Corey Ballentine and killed his best friend, Dwane Simmons, has been convicted. - A Topeka, Kansas jury found Mendez guilty of first-degree murder and four counts of attempted murder on Friday. The three additional counts of attempted murder stem from the other men — Channon Ross, Kevin Neal Jr. and J.J. Letcher Jr. — who were also with Ballentine and Simmons at the time. - The shooting occurred in the early morning hours of April 28, 2019. Ballentine had just been selected in the sixth-round of the NFL draft by the Giants, and the Washburn college football teammates were attending an off-campus party. - Simmons died on the scene. Ballentine was struck in the buttocks and required medical treatment. The other three men managed to escape without injury. - “I think he helped me get here every step of the way,” Ballentine said of Simmons in July of 2019. “When I was out on the field myself, he would come out and join me and I kind of feeling I’m doing it for both of us. If he was here now, he would love to see where I’m at now. - “I’m going to keep him in my heart and at the same time strive for the goals of the team and my own personal goals and just do my best.” - Ballentine spent his first season and a half with the Giants before being waived in November of 2020. He was later claimed by the New York Jets and remained in East Rutherford through the 2020 season. - In 2021, Ballentine spent the season with the Detroit Lions. He was signed to a reserve/futures deal by the Atlanta Falcons this past January. - Although Mendez, who will be sentenced at a later date, has been convicted, his accomplices have never been found. - - RelatedCorey Ballentine's gunshot wound was 'worse than what people thought'Giants' Corey Ballentine will testify against his accused shooterCorey Ballentine's heart remains heavy, but he's pressing forward - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants not seriously considering a trade of Saquon Barkley? / The New York Giants have been relatively active (on the low end) thus far during free agency, and that’s not likely to change before the 2022 NFL draft. - The Giants need to create cap space for incoming draftees, which is why there has been much talk about cornerback James Bradberry. He isn’t the only one potentially on the trading block, though, as general manager Joe Schoen has said he’s “open to anything,” including trading star running back Saquon Barkley. - The last two seasons have been tough for Barkley. At the beginning of the 2020 season, he was carted off the field during a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It would be revealed that he tore his ACL and was done for the season after just two games. - In 2021, the Giants picked up the fifth-year of Barkley’s contract, but he struggled on the field. Maybe it was the pandemic, maybe it was battling ankle issues, maybe it was sharing time with Devontae Booker or maybe it was a combination of everything. Regardless of the reason, it’s not hard to see why Schoen might be interested in trading Barkley. - Still, it’s hard to justify. If you look at the Giants scoring since Barkley joined the team, you will see that he accounts for over 25% of the teams scoring when he’s on the field. That’s a lot of scoring to give up, not to mention the way other defenses have to prepare for a threat like Barkley. Given the teams inability to get to the end zone in 2021, losing a guy like Barkley hurts. - And that’s why the Giants may not be seriously considering a Barkley trade. - - From what I’ve been hearing, btw, I don’t get the impression #Giants are seriously considering trading RB Saquon Barkley. At least not right now. - All about James Bradberry at the moment. https://t.co/CKYd0vLzfS - — Zack Rosenblatt (@ZackBlatt) March 26, 2022 - - - That said, the entire Giants’ front office is brand new. It’s not a secret that the team needs to rebuild after years of prior management gaffes and guffaws. Could that include Barkley? Sounds like it definitely could. Is it likely? Probably not. - The Giants are already devoid of talent — particularly game-changing talent — so while trading Barkley may clear cap space, it creates another need and only further depletes the roster. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning -

Giants have top-30 visits with CB Ahmad Gardner, TE Trey McBride / Two of the top players at their positions

Giants have top-30 visits with CB Ahmad Gardner, TE Trey McBride / Two of the top players at their positions in the upcoming NFL draft are on the New York Giants’ list of Top 30 visits this spring. - Cincinnati cornerback Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner and tight end Trey McBride of Colorado State are on the Giants’ dance card in the upcoming weeks. - - New York Jets, New York Giants, Eagles and Seahawks bringing in Cincinnati corner Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner for official top-30 visits and will also meet with Detroit Lions: @PFN365 #Jets #NYGiants #Seahawks https://t.co/P2tzCMK9wj https://t.co/GTtzCWQ8YB - — Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) March 25, 2022 - - - Gardner has rocketed up the board the past month after acing the Combine and other workouts. His size and speed combination (6-foot-3, 190 pounds with 4.41 speed) along with his competitive edge and football acumen have made him a likely Top 5 pick come late April. The chance of Gardner falling to the Giants at No. 5 or No. 7 is dwindling by the day. - Detroit (Gardner’s home town), Houston and the Jets – the three teams who pick before the Giants this year – are all interested. The Giants are in need of a top corner should they trade James Bradberry. Gardner did not allow a touchdown in his three seasons with the Bearcats. That is impressive, but DeAndre Baker also had a similar distinction and look how that turned out. - McBride is probably the top tight end in this class used on his production. He is a 6-foot-4, 260 pounder who has a solid all-around game. - - #CSU TE Trey McBride has met with a plethora of teams either formally at the combine, virtually via Zoom, and has top-30 visits coming up. List includes #Titans, #Bengals, #Buccaneers, #Giants, #Jets, #Bills. - McBride is an exciting TE prospect. - — Justin M (@JustinM_NFL) March 25, 2022 - - - In 12 games last season, McBride caught 90 passes for 1,121 yards but only one of those receptions went for a touchdown. He also scored a touchdown on a 69-yard running play. - The Giants recently signed Ricky Seals-Jones to augment their tight end room, which is barren after losing Evan Engram in free agency and releasing Kyle Rudolph and Kaden Smith.

Jon Feliciano has trust in Giants' front office, coaching staff / NFL free agency started less than two weeks ago

Jon Feliciano has trust in Giants' front office, coaching staff / NFL free agency started less than two weeks ago and the New York Giants’ front office has been busy. Players have signed, players have been released, and the newly appointed coaching staff is scrambling to make it all work. - One of the things aiding in putting this team together is bringing in players who are familiar with the new staff. Recently, the Giants agreed to terms with Justin Ellis, who has previously played under defensive coordinator Wink Martindale. - Jon Feliciano is another play who joined that list, although his familiarity is with general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll. - Feliciano was born in New York, but grew up in Florida after his parents split up when he was three. He attended the University of Miami and was drafted in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL draft by the then-Oakland Raiders. He would play four seasons with the Raiders before landing with the aforementioned Bills, who released him when free agency started. - In addition to Schoen and Daboll, Feliciano has also spent part of his four-year career working alongside Giants offensive line coach Bobby Johnson. - “Just knowing what kind of guys they are, they’re just good guys and good coaches,” Feliciano said, via Giants.com. “There are good coaches around everywhere, but it’s hard to find good people. And it starts with people. Daboll and Bobby and Joe, they’re people you can trust. When you can trust somebody, you know they just want the best for you. You know whatever they’re saying or whatever they’re coaching at the moment, it’s for the benefit of the team and benefit for you as a player.” - While he’s listed as a guard, where he has all but two of his 43 career starts, Feliciano considers himself a center. And given the injury issues Nick Gates is dealing with, it’s a near certainty Feliciano starts in 2022. - His familiarity with the front office and other players on the field reduces the time it will take to integrate Feliciano with the rest of the team. His ties to New York will make the transition from Buffalo to New York City easier to manage, which means he will be able to focus on football. - “I just want to kick some butt,” Feliciano said. “It just comes natural. I can’t explain it. As soon as I put on the helmet and I step out on the field, I just turn into a different person. And that’s not going to change. I’ll still be there. If someone does something, I’ll be the first one to get there.” - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - -

Giants select two game changers in first Chad Reuter mock draft / With all the trades and quarterback movement this offseason, the NFL draft isn’t expected to be “quarterback” draft. - Think again, says NFL.com’s Chad Reuter. The NFL is always about the quarterback and in his latest mock draft, Reuter shows us which teams could be in the market for new signal callers. - The New York Giants aren’t one of them, however. With the first selection, Reuter has Jacksonville taking Michigan edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson and we’ve heard that is where they are leaning. - But at Nos. 2 and 3, Reuter has Detroit and Atlanta (via a trade with Houston) grabbing quarterbacks — Liberty’s Malik Willis and Pitt’s Kenny Pickett. At No. 4, the Jets take Georgia pass rusher/defensive end Travon Walker. - At No. 5, Reuter mocks Alabama tackle Evan Neal to the Giants. - The Giants did not re-sign veteran Nate Solder at right tackle, and Neal played that position his sophomore year at Alabama. Seems like a natural fit. - At No. 6, Carolina also takes a quarterback in Matt Corral of Ole Miss. - That leaves the Giants with several studs to choose from at No. 7: Oregon edge Kayvon Thibodeaux, tackle/guard Ikem Ekwonu of N.C. State and the player Reuter mocks to them here: Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton. - Hamilton’s 40-yard dash time (4.59 official at combine; 4.56 unofficial at pro day) should be of no concern to NFL teams that value his range, football instincts and tackling ability. The Giants need a partner for Xavier McKinney in the defensive backfield, and Hamilton has the skill set to become a special player at the next level. - Giant fans would have little issue of things unfolded this way. They need a tackle in the worst way and getting the best one in the draft to plug in that hole is a huge bonus. - Add a freaky playmaker/leader on defense in Hamilton on top that and you can pack up your tent right there. The draft is a home run. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Hamilton said he’s already had Zoom meetings with the Seahawks, Giants and Saints. Bills up next. - — Pete Sampson (@PeteSampson_) March 25, 2022 - - - Teams that do not have a top-10 pick in this draft likely won’t get close to selecting the 6-foot-4, 220 pound freak of a defensive back. Hamilton actually bettered his 40 time from the NFL Combine, something he did not have to do but did. - - Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton (@MoveTheSticks' No. 3 prospect in the draft) clocks a 4.56 unofficial 40 at pro day after posting 4.59 official at NFL Scouting Combine. https://t.co/OP0UoihUV7 - — NFL Draft (@NFLDraft) March 25, 2022 - - - The Giants hold the fifth and seventh overall selections in next month’s draft and even they may not get a shot at Hamilton. The Jacksonville Jaguars, who have the first overall pick, aren’t likely to take Hamilton, but the next three teams — the Detroit Lions, Houston Texans and New York Jets — will all take a long hard look. - The Giants could pass on Hamilton at No. 5 in favor of an offensive tackle and hope that Carolina passes on him with the sixth pick.

Giants' Kadarius Toney named a potential 2022 breakout player / - - - The New York Giants are a team in transition but the 2022 season will still have some highs to go with the lows. Some of those highs will be in the form of breakout players. - Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine, in his recent article listing each team’s breakout player, believes that second-year wide receiver Kadarius Toney will fulfill the promise he showed as a rookie last year. - New general manager Joe Schoen mentioned Toney as the only untouchable player on his roster this offseason, indicating the new coaching staff has plans for the speedy former first rounder out of Florida. - The New York Giants offense figures to be much better in 2022, and Kadarius Toney could be one of the biggest beneficiaries. - The Giants are replacing coordinator Jason Garrett as the primary play-caller with new head coach Brian Daboll, who helped craft a Bills offense that finished in the top 10 in passing in both 2020 and 2021. The hope is that Daboll will be able to help Daniel Jones improve in the way that Buffalo QB Josh Allen has. - That could unlock Toney’s massive potential. He struggled to carve out a role as a rookie because of a litany of injuries and a couple of trips to the reserve/COVID-19 list. However, he showcased what he can do with the ball in his hands with a 10-catch, 189-yard performance against Dallas. - He missed seven games last season and had inconsistent usage when he was on the field. With a new offensive staff in place, the hope that Toney can become an elite offensive weapon is renewed. - That last paragraph is the caveat emptor here. Toney was shelved by a slew of different injuries and ailments (including COVID) which kept him off the field last season. - That has to change for Toney to become a factor and a steady contributor that Brian Daboll and Mike Kafka can rely on. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

He is one of the highest-rated safeties in this draft class and the Giants are looking for a new partner for Xavier McKinney and Julian Love after releasing veteran Logan Ryan and shying away from re-signing the injured Jabrill Peppers. - Mike Kaye of Pro Football Network wrote this about Brisker’s performance on Thursday: - Brisker is listed at 6-foot-1 and 206 pounds, looked fast and fluid in front of two NFC East coordinators (Dallas’ Dan Quinn and Jonathan Gannon of Philadelphia) on Thursday. - As Quinn and Gannon watched drills, Brisker showed off his unique blend of size, speed, and ball skills. He caught everything thrown his way and showed smooth change-of-direction ability in position drills. - Brisker said teams have asked him about playing all six defensive back positions, and his fluidity at the pro day should give those teams reason to believe he can. - PFN has Brisker ranked 56th overall on their board and project him to be a second round pick. The Giants have the 36th overall selection in the draft. - Other players who impressed were wide receiver Jahan Dotson and linebacker Brandon Smith. Cornerback Tariq Castro-Fields could also be on the Giants’ radar, as could offensive tackle Rasheed Walker, who once again did not work out. - Other players of interest were linebacker Jesse Luketa and edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie. The Giants aren’t likely to use any of their first round picks on the players Henderson scouted today, but Day 2 is a different story. - Meanwhile, in addition to Penn State, the Giants also had scouts at the Memphis pro day, where they rubbed elbows with Joe Judge. - - All 32 NFL clubs were in attendance today at Memphis pro-day for @seniorbowl standouts C/G Dylan Parham and WR Calvin Austin.

2022 NFL draft: Giants met with Ahmad 'Sauce' Gardner / - - - As the 2022 NFL draft

2022 NFL draft: Giants met with Ahmad 'Sauce' Gardner / - - - As the 2022 NFL draft approaches, the New York Giants head into their most crucial stretch in recent years. - As they had in 2019 (due to the Odell Beckham Jr. trade), the Giants own two first-round picks in April’s draft and this time both come within the top-10. - One of the lingering questions about the Giants’ roster is what they are going to do with cornerback James Bradberry. In a cap-driven decision, the team has been trying to find a trade partner for the former Pro Bowler and now seem to be willing to eat money in order to move him. - As general manager Joe Schoen continues to rework the Giants’ roster, Big Blue still has plenty of holes to fill, so the route they ultimately decided take remains undetermined. While many believe they will go offensive line with both picks early on, fewer and fewer mocks have the Giants going offensive line with both picks. - That probability will likely drop even further if the Giants are able to trade Bradberry, leaving them a void at cornerback. - Enter Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner, who the Giants visited with earlier this week. - - Clearly, @JeffRubys was the place to be in Cincy last night. Expected first-round CB Sauce Gardner went there last night: w/ the #Saints for appetizers and the #Giants for the main course. - — Aditi Kinkhabwala (@AKinkhabwala) March 24, 2022 - - - - Gardner, a junior out of Cincinnati, has been highly touted entering the draft and with the wide receiver talent in the NFC East, the cornerback position becomes even more important. Schoen also attended the Cincinnati pro day for what that’s worth, and the Giants have been connected to Gardner in recent mocks. - It’s pretty widely known that the Giants have plenty of needs on the roster, so it stands to reason Gardner may be among their potential targets. - - A NFL source told me recently that #Giants and Sauce Gardner is there most logical of all the possible top 10 team and top 10 player marriages https://t.co/ySJsFGWOma - — Ryan Dunleavy (@rydunleavy) March 24, 2022 - - - The Giants have also been rumored to have interest in moving back if the opportunity were to present itself in order to stock-pile draft capital in next year’s draft. It is possible the Giants are just doing their due diligence depending on the trade back possibilities. - As the draft inches closer and closer, it will be interesting to see if there are more ties connecting the Giants to Gardner. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts

Report: 'Financial complications' may lead Giants to draft day trade / - - - The New York Giants

Report: 'Financial complications' may lead Giants to draft day trade / - - - The New York Giants are looking to trade some of their 2022 NFL draft capital — specifically, one of their two first round picks — for 2023 NFL draft capital. - That was the report by Peter King of Football Morning in America on Monday. - The Giants, picking fifth and seventh overall, are likely to look to move one of them to try for multiple first-rounders next year. - Ralph Vacchiano of SNY confirmed that report on Thursday, noting that the Giants are specifically seeking a package that includes, but is not necessarily limited to, a 2023 first round pick. - According to multiple NFL sources, the Giants have signaled they are open to trading either the 5th or 7th overall pick in this years draft for a package that includes a first-rounder in 2023. And the more teams that are seeking quarterbacks, the more likely it is that they can. - As it turns out however, that may not be the only reason the Giants and general manager Joe Schoen look to trade down in the first round or out of it all together. - Currently, the Giants have only $3.1 million in salary cap space and will need upwards of $12.5 million to spend on their 2022 NFL draft class — assuming they use all nine picks. And given the rates of pay for the fifth and seventh overall selections (specific to position), New York may not be able to afford those picks. - As for the Giants, there are multiple reasons why they’re interested in trading down, according to sources, one being financial complications. They have nine picks in this year’s draft, which will cost them about $12.5 million in salary cap space, according to OverTheCap.com. - That’s a problem considering they are currently only about $3 million under the $208.2 million cap, according to NFL Players Association records. Even if they eventually trade cornerback James Bradberry, that would only clear another $12.1 million off the books – less if they have to pay some of his salary to make a deal. - Trading the 7th overall pick to a quarterback-needy team like the Saints and dropping to 18, for example, would save almost $2.2 million in cap space. They’d clear more than $5 million if they traded away that pick and didn’t get a first-round pick this year in return – which is something one source said the Giants might be willing to do. - The Giants being forced to move out of a prime draft slot because of financial issues would be the fitting final “gift” from the Dave Gettleman era. What an absolutely disastrous scenario. - On the bright side, it may all work out in Schoen’s favor. The Giants do not seem keen on drafting a quarterback this year and the 2023 draft class promises to be deeper. If they can trade one of their two

Logan Ryan says divorce from Giants wasn't his decision / The New York Giants were forced to absorb a significant dead cap hit earlier this month following the surprising release of safety Logan Ryan. - The decision to move on from Ryan, a team captain whose release provided almost no cap relief, was a curious one. It not only created an additional void at safety, but removed a positive voice from the locker-room. - On Thursday, while being introduced as the newest member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ryan admitted the release caught him off guard and that it wasn’t his decision. - “Yeah, it wasn’t my call,” Ryan told reporters. “It was the direction (the Giants) wanted to go.” - And that was it. Ryan offered no further insight into the team’s decision, if there had been a requested pay cut or if it was a straight, no-frills divorce. - Whatever the case may be, Ryan is thrilled to reunite with Tom Brady in Tampa Bay. - “I’m really excited about being on the Bucs,” Ryan said. “We talk about Tom (Brady) and a lot about this and some of the roster, but also the building. There’s just a great building here, talking to (coach Bruce Arians) about what he believes in his players and his players policing the locker room, how he respects and believes in his veterans, values his veterans, that just felt so great. - “There’s a lot of reasons that things are moving in a great direction here and it has a lot to do with the people in this building.” - The Giants and Buccaneers do not play in 2022, so there will be no grudge match for Ryan to circle on his calendar. But that probably won’t sour him given that Tampa Bay is among the early Super Bowl favorites. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Joe Schoen attends Cincinnati pro day / - - - It’s that time of year when colleges and universities around the country hold a pro day for NFL teams to check out their players. - Some teams send position coaches, some send scouts or coordinators. On Thursday, however, New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen attended the University of Cincinnati pro day, along with over 90 additional NFL attendees. - - Breakdown of today’s NFL attendees at Cincinnati pro-day: - *HC- ATL, HOU, NO, PIT, TEN, WAS*GM- ATL, NYG, PIT, WAS*QB- ATL, HOU, PIT, TEN, WAS*OC- ATL, DAL, PIT, WAS*DC- ATL*WR- ATL, CHI, NO*RB- NO*LB- ATL, AZ, CIN*DB- ATL, HOU, NYJ, TEN*ST- DAL pic.twitter.com/5ZTLc5gmxS - — Jim Nagy (@JimNagy_SB) March 24, 2022 - - - Since arriving at Cincinnati after spending time at Ohio State, head coach Luke Fickell has brought nothing but success to the Bearcats football program. Last season, Cincinnati boasted a 13-0 record and earned a playoff spot for the first time in school history. Though they lost to Alabama in the semi’s, there are several players who ended up on the radar of NFL personnel across the country. - The Giants have many needs to fill on their roster, on both sides of the ball. Quarterback Desmond Ridder is at the top of everyone’s list, but probably unlikely to end up in New York. Other players in attendance were cornerbacks Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner and Coby Bryant, safety Bryan Cook, linebacker Darrian Beavers, defensive end Myjai Sanders, running back Jerome Ford and wide receiver Alec Pierce. - The Giants could use any and all of those players, but Gardner may be the most intriguing potential fit in East Rutherford (especially if James Bradberry is traded). - There’s still a lot of work to be done before the 2022 NFL draft, and the Giants have a lot of holes to fill.

Loss of Evan Engram continues disturbing first-round Giants trend / As the league’s legal tampering period opened last week, New

Loss of Evan Engram continues disturbing first-round Giants trend / As the league’s legal tampering period opened last week, New York Giants tight end Evan Engram was one of the more highly coveted free agents heading into the open tight end market. - Engram, of course, ended up signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars on a one-year deal, $9 million deal. - Engram’s departure puts the tight end in all too familiar territory for Giants first-round draft picks. Engram, like so many of the team’s recent Round 1 draft picks, will depart without getting a lucrative deal from Big Blue. - - Evan Engram's departure makes it 11 straight Giants first-round picks who didn't get or play a long-term second contract with the team. ELEVEN! Last one to do so was Kiwanuka (JPP pieced together a few short term deals and Odell was signed then traded). That's a loooong stretch. - — Tom Rock (@TomRock_Newsday) March 15, 2022 - - - Though there are a few outliers, as Tom Rock notes, most players never even had the opportunity for a short-term contract after their rookie deal expired. Engram is the latest. - - Those 1st round picks: - Aaron RossKenny PhillipsHakeem NicksJPPPrince AmukamaraDavid WilsonJustin PughOdell Beckham Jr.Ereck FlowersEli AppleEvan Engram - — Tom Rock (@TomRock_Newsday) March 15, 2022 - - - Aaron Ross, Hakeem Nicks, Kenny Phillips, Jason Pierre-Paul and Prince Amukamara all contributed to least one of the Giants’ recent Super Bowls. But, for the most part, their prime years were short-lived as the team moved on at the right time. - The sole exception is JPP, who is still playing at a high level but never got a lucrative long-term deal from the Giants before being traded. - David Wilson and Ereck Flowers were unlucky picks by the Giants as Wilson’s career ended early due to injury and Flowers was one of the biggest busts in franchise history. However, Flowers did go on to be a formidable option for other teams following his time with Big Blue. - The departures of Odell Beckham Jr. and Eli Apple were the most drama-filled on the list. And while Beckham still has some love for Big Blue, Apple can’t decide which one of his former team’s fan bases he hates more. - Of course, the Giants’ next shot at breaking the streak will be Saquon Barkley. After his rookie year it seemed as though he would be a Giant for life, but after the last few years of injury-filled football, Barkley may not be a Giant much longer — many speculate that he might currently be on the trading block. - After that it will be Daniel Jones and Dexter Lawrence from the 2019 NFL draft class — a class where the Giants already have a failed with one of their first-round picks (Deandre Baker). - Current general manager Joe Schoen obviously hopes to buck this trend. - - List - - 2022 Giants

Report: Giants agree to terms with DT Justin Ellis / The New York Giants have agreed to terms with former Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Justin Ellis, reports NFL Network’s Ian Rappaport. - - The #Giants are signing former #Ravens DT Justin Ellis, source said, giving him a 1-year deal. More familiarity for DC Wink Martindale, who had him in Baltimore. - — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 23, 2022 - - - Selected by the then-Oakland Raiders in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL draft, the eight-year veteran is a low-cost option that adds depth to the defensive line. - Ellis has 148 tackles over his career, 83 of which were solo. He also comes in knowing the defensive scheme, having played under current Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale during his time in Baltimore. - Ellis also helps replace the departure of Austin Johnson, who the Giants lost in free agency. That said, Ellis’ 2021 PFF grade was a paltry 49.2. Still, he’s played in 100 NFL games with 50 starts, and has appeared in three postseason games. Joining the Giants would also reunite Ellis with outside linebacker Jihad Ward, both of whom played in Baltimore. - At 6-foot-2 and 350 pounds, Ellis is a force to be reckoned with. He’s reached the quarterback four times in his career and six of his tackles are for a loss. He adds size, depth and experience to the defense, and will likely be instrumental in implementing Martindale’s defense. - The final step in this process is for Ellis to pass a physical, and when he does that, he’ll suit up in blue. - - List - - 2022 Giants free agency: Contract details for new players - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants stand to gain from Lorenzo Carter loss / - - - The New York Giants were in the mix to re-sign free agent linebacker Lorenzo Carter last week but were simply outbid by the Atlanta Falcons. - Carter was a starter and rated as a player in the compensatory mix for the Giants for next season. Where the Giants stand right now is still fluid, but the Carter loss should work in their favor, reports Zack Rosenblatt of NJ Advance Media. - The Giants supposedly were pushing to bring back Carter but presumably weren’t willing to go too far above the minimum. The Falcons have caught flak for signing Carter to a compensatory-eligible deal, thus cancelling out a fourth-round comp pick they would get for losing linebacker Foyesade Oluokun. But the Giants certainly aren’t mad about that decision: OTC estimates Carter’s deal valued as a seventh-round comp pick. - Before free agency, the Giants had several free agents that — if signed away — could factor into the formula that would gain them consideration in the compensatory draft pool next year. - Over the Cap rated their potential to cash in as low in a recent assessment of next year’s comp picks: - The new front office in New York has been aggressively cutting salary in more than just an effort to get cap compliant. This would indicate that may be interested in making several top moves in free agency to churn the roster to their liking. They have a few players (Will Hernandez, Evan Engram, Jabrill Peppers) that might get good deals elsewhere, but those CFA losses could be offset by CFA signings on the Giants’ end. Potential: Low - Over the Cap’s comp pick cancellation chart is currently rating the Carter signing as adding any picks for the Giants next year. - Currently, they are projected to get a 5th rounder for Engram (who was signed by Jacksonville and a 7th for Keion Crossen, who was signed by Miami. - The losses of Carter and defensive lineman Austin Johnson are being offset by the Giants’ signings of offensive lineman Mark Glowinski and quarterback Tyrod Taylor. - The signings of running back Matt Breida and defensive end Jihad Ward are not eligible for compensation. - - List - - Giants assign numbers to newly signed free agents - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. -

Skip Bayless: Giants must trade for Baker Mayfield / - - - Baker Mayfield has now found himself essentially homeless in the NFL as the Cleveland Browns have traded for Deshaun Watson. And now Skip Bayless of FS1 thinks that the New York Giants should help Baker find a new home. - Mayfield has been an average quarterback since entering the league, highlighted by his record rookie season. He has totaled 14,125 passing yards and 92 touchdowns in his four years with the Browns. - However, when it comes to winning, Mayfield has struggled. He has a 29-30 record as an NFL quarterback and has underwhelmed with a very talented roster. This is why the Browns went out and got Watson — a very talented quarterback with an awful roster. - The Giants have had faulty quarterback play for the past few seasons and due to this Bayless thinks that the Giants should pursue Mayfield. He believe that Mayfield could “light up New York City” and in turn, he can right the ship of the failing Giants organization. - - Skip Bayless advocates for the Giants to trade for Baker Mayfield, because he would “light up” New York City. pic.twitter.com/QIWCa95jAn - — Doug Rush (@TheDougRush) March 22, 2022 - - - Mayfield and Daniel Jones have a troubled past, and a trade for Baker would only heighten that. They have supposedly buried the hatchet from the mild dispute, but Baker had some questionable comments about Jones getting drafted. - “I cannot believe the Giants took Daniel Jones,” Mayfield said at the time, according to GQ. “Blows my mind. … Some people overthink it. That’s where people go wrong. They forget you’ve gotta win. - “Either you have a history of winning and being that guy for your team or you don’t.” - Both quarterbacks have not really panned out and it looks like both of their franchises will be moving on from their respective quarterbacks barring a breakout season from Jones in 2022. - Will Giants acquire Baker Mayfield? - Powered By PickUp - - List - - Giants assign numbers to newly signed free agents - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in

Giants showing notable interest in Mississippi State OT Charles Cross / - - - It’s no secret the New York Giants are in the market for a new starting right tackle, and the search to find one is likely to conclude at the 2022 NFL draft. - With two first-round picks, many anticipate the Giants will use one of those on a Day 1 starter that bookends Andrew Thomas. However, who that might be is open for debate. - For months, many believed Alabama’s Evan Neal would go No. 1 overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Then that switched to NC State’s Ikem Ekwonu, but even that’s uncertain. - It’s entirely possible the Giants are able to pick between one of the two. It’s also entirely possible that their sights are set on a different right tackle. Say, Charles Cross of Mississippi State. - Cross participated in drills and testing at the Mississippi State Pro Day on Tuesday and the Giants were on hand to watch. They were represented by offensive line coach Bobby Johnson and others. - And to say the Giants have expressed significant interest in Cross would be an understatement. - - The New York Giants' interest in #MississippiState LT Charles Cross is very, very real. - The Giants' staff members in attendance were OC Mike Kafka, OL coach Bobby Johnson and assistant OL coach Tony Sparano Jr. - NYG has picks 5 and 7 in the NFL Draft.https://t.co/K6MYqVuhTT - — Jon Sokoloff (@JonSokoloff) March 22, 2022 - - - - Multiple New York Giants scouts praised Charles Cross after his Pro Day concluded. - — Jon Sokoloff (@JonSokoloff) March 22, 2022 - - - - Charles Cross said that he’s heard from all of the NFL teams but is hearing most from the Jets and Giants. pic.twitter.com/e8bvSqTOaD - — Robbie Faulk (@robbiefaulk247) March 22, 2022 - - - Cross has been mocked to the Giants numerous times, but that’s usually as a result of Neal and Ekwonu having been selected over the top four picks. He’s been viewed as sort of 1c to Neal’s 1a and Ekwonu’s 1b. - But perhaps the Giants and general manager Joe Schoen see it differently. Maybe they view Cross as 1a or just as the more ideal fit for their scheme. Or maybe they’re just going heavy in scouting all three of the potential right tackles and Cross just happened to be the man at the plate on Tuesday.

Giants on hand to watch Malik Willis at Liberty Pro Day / The New York Giants quarterback coach Shea Tierney

Giants on hand to watch Malik Willis at Liberty Pro Day / The New York Giants quarterback coach Shea Tierney has been busy as of recently. After just attending the Pittsburgh Pro Day to scout Kenny Pickett, the Giants sent Tierney to Liberty to watch potential top-10 pick, quarterback Malik Willis. - - Hearing Giants QB coach Shea Tierney has made the trek to Liberty Pro Day, where Malik Willis is the featured prospect. - Tierney was in Pittsburgh watching Kenny Pickett yesterday. - More evaluation for NYG, who are likely more invested in who wants to move up for QB in Top 10. - — Art Stapleton (@art_stapleton) March 22, 2022 - - - Willis has been an outstanding quarterback during his time as a Liberty Flame, throwing for over 5,000 yards and 45 touchdowns during his two years as a starter. Willis was also a true dual-threat, rushing for 1,822 yards and 17 touchdowns during his 23 starts. - Willis’ amazing play since transferring from Auburn has made him a top prospect in this new age of dual-threat quarterbacks. He also had a phenomenal combine where he threw some amazing deep balls helping his overall draft stock. Willis currently has worked his way up to the top 10 discussion and he may possibly even be a top-five pick in this year’s draft. - However, despite this recent quarterback scouting, it remains unlikely the Giants will select a quarterback with either of their two top 10 picks. They have too many needs and there has been a general commitment to Daniel Jones for this upcoming season. - However, if the Giants were to target a quarterback they have plenty of capital to trade back to a desirable spot to draft any of this year’s top field generals. - - If the Giants aren't sold on drafting Kenny Pickett or Malik Willis for themselves, which I don't believe they are, the consecutive Pro Days for Pickett and Willis have seemed to juice the trade-back market up a bit. - That's good for business if you're Joe Schoen. - — Art Stapleton (@art_stapleton) March 22, 2022 - - - In addition to the Liberty Pro Day, the Giants also had representatives on hand at the Iowa State Pro Day. - - One guy NFL scouts are higher on than media is Iowa State’s Charlie Kolar. TE coaches from Falcons, Eagles, Giants, Saints, Cards, and Titans were at @CycloneFB pro-day today. Looked noticeably different this year from junior tape in terms of bend & fluidity.

Giants land two studs in latest Mel Kiper Jr. mock draft / The New York Giants hold the fifth and seventh overall selections in the 2022 NFL draft and have a chance to lay some serious groundwork on their roster rebuilding effort. - On Tuesday, ESPN’s original draftnik, Mel Kiper Jr., provided his most recent take on how the Giants can do that in next month’s draft. - Round 1, Pick 5: Evan Neal, offensive tackle, Alabama - The Giants, the other team with two top-10 picks [Kiper is referring to the New York Jets here], haven’t been as active in free agency as new general manager Joe Schoen gets the team back into decent salary-cap shape. That doesn’t mean they don’t have needs, though, particularly at edge rusher and offensive tackle. With the way the board has fallen in this projection, they can get Day 1 starters at both spots. - Neal is a massive tackle who can overpower defenders in the run game and move his feet as a pass-protector. Andrew Thomas, the No. 4 pick in the 2020 draft, looked much better in Year 2 and could stay at left tackle, pushing Neal to the right side. Neal also played some guard at Alabama, and he could be great there too. This is a big season for quarterback Daniel Jones, so the Giants have to keep him upright. - A no-brainer. The Giants’ offensive line has been the poster child of all of their failures the past decade and Neal should be at the top of their wish list. If he falls to them at No. 5, they should thank the football gods and race up the podium with the card. - Not only can Neal cone right in and start, he just might displace Andrew Thomas at left tackle, which would move Thomas to the right side, making the line better in both spots. - Round 1, Pick 7: Kayvon Tibodeaux, EDGE, Oregon (via Chicago Bears) - This pick is logical for the team and for the prospect. The Giants’ top pass-rusher last season was rookie Azeez Ojulari, who led the team with eight sacks, and they have to improve on the edge. This is their best chance to add a young, talented defensive end. They can afford to use this pick on Thibodeaux, who has a high ceiling but was inconsistent in 2021. - If Thibodeaux puts it all together, you’re talking about All-Pro-level talent. But if he doesn’t build out secondary moves and can’t improve his all-around game, he could struggle. He has the type of physical traits NFL teams love, but taking that guy in the top 10 is risky. If New York passes on Thibodeaux, keep an eye on cornerback or linebacker with this pick. - It’s unlikely Thibodeaux falls down to No. 7. If I’m the Giants, I consider that a gift as he is a boom-or-bust prospect and it takes the decisions out of their hands. - Thibodeaux may or

Giants looking to turn 2022 draft capital into 2023 draft capital? / Last year, when the New York Giants traded

Giants looking to turn 2022 draft capital into 2023 draft capital? / Last year, when the New York Giants traded back in the 2021 NFL draft, the move gave Big Blue some extra draft capital. Most notably, they acquired a 2022 first-round pick from the Chicago Bears, who ended up selecting quarterback Justin Fields in the Giants’ original spot. - Going into the 2021 season, neither the Bears nor the Giants had high expectations. Many believed they would be among the NFL’s worst teams, leaving New York with two top-10 picks. - That turned out to be the case. - Now, with the Giants selecting fifth and seventh overall with a new regime in place, their April decisions may be the most crucial in recent memory. But what if they don’t make both picks? - Peter King of Football Morning in America thinks the Giants may be looking at a trade to acquire additional capital for the 2023 NFL draft — one that promises a deep pool of prospects at potential positions of need. - The Giants, picking fifth and seventh overall, are likely to look to move one of them to try for multiple first-rounders next year. - With the roster far from ready to compete, acquiring future draft capital may be in New York’s best interest. This may also be a reason for the Giants have been rumored to have James Bradberry and Saquon Barkley on the trading block. - While the Giants may benefit from the idea of trading back for future draft capital, the way this offseason has shaped up has two teams picking ahead of them all the sudden in the market for a quarterback. - - Big winner from the Matt Ryan trade is the Giants. The Panthers and Falcons are obvious landing spots for a rookie QB. Some team may want to trade up to #5 overall to get their QB1. NYG could likely still get the player they want at #7. - — Jordan Reid (@Jordan_Reid) March 21, 2022 - - - If greater talent drops to the Giants due to quarterbacks unexpectedly going ahead of their picks, it may be more difficult to part ways with either of those picks. - With so many needs on the Giants’ roster, certainly they can use two promising players taken at the five and seven spots. However, there might be value in trading back to acquire more draft capital in the 2023 draft where the Giants will hopefully be closer to competing. - NFL Draft: What will NYG do with first 2 picks? - Powered By PickUp - - List - - Giants assign numbers to newly signed free agents - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up -

Jihad Ward intends to bring his aggression to Giants' defense / - - - The New York Giants added a little depth to their defensive line on Monday, signing former second-round pick Jihad Ward. - Ward is a bit of a journeyman, having played for five different organizations prior to joining. One of those stops came in Baltimore where he played under current Giants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale. - “Wink is one of those coaches where basically he’s going to make me extend my career being the best that I can be. Wink is one of the coaches that did a hell of a job with me when I was a Raven so I’m here now and ready to win some games,” Ward told reporters. - Martindale is known as an aggressive, blitz-often play-caller and that fits Ward’s style of play. - “Just coming in with that aggression. Basically, just strong and really the aggression is just some blitzes and stuff. You don’t know when we’re going to come. That’s his type of style. That’s his type of deal. We’re going to come at you,” Ward said of his style of play and Martindale’s system. - But even beyond his aggression, Ward is bringing a high level of football intelligence into the fold. His goal is to make the Giants’ defensive line as savvy as it is dominant. - “I can bring a lot to the team. Basically, the most important thing I can bring to the table is bringing just trying to win games, dominating the edge and then dominating the d-line,” Ward said. “I believe that I can be one of the best and one of the top-tier d-lineman (on the) Giants. So, when you play the Giants, the d-line is going to be one that’s mentioned. So that’s what I can bring to the table. - “I can play all the positions. Everything is really simple. The only thing is with the rest of the d-line that’s here, we’ve just got to basically understand its different types of fronts. When we play a different type of team, we might go straight to base on this one, like a basic front and certain teams, it’s quite difficult for us and we’ll change the scheme up based on whatever the personnel is.

I want to be a part of an organization that has a lot of pride and I know with this coaching staff they are looking to bring it to that point,” Douglas told reporters. “So, when an opportunity presented itself, for me, it was really a no brainer just looking at the guys that are in this building and the goals they are trying to accomplish.” - Douglas is now another member of this great migration of players from the Buffalo Bills to join the Giants. The Giants have signed his former teammates Jon Feliciano and Matt Breida, both whom he has a connection with as the former was a fellow member of the Bills’ offensive line and the latter is a running back he blocked for. - However, for Douglas, a big factor was the migration of offensive line coach Bobby Johnson from Buffalo to East Rutherford. - “Coach Johnson is a great coach, man. I’ve been fortunate enough over my career to have some really good o-line coaches, really good coaches in general, but the thing about him is he’s going to instill confidence in his guys and he’s also going to coach you hard. That’s all you can ask for, really, as a player is to be coached hard. That’s how you get better,” Douglas said. - New York will need Johnson to transfer his success with the Bills to the Giants as their offensive line has been the worst part of the roster for some time now. There has been an inability to get a push in the run game or protect the quarterback, resulting in the Giants rarely scoring touchdowns in 2021. - - List - - Giants assign numbers to newly signed free agents - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - -

Matt Breida wants to help Brian Daboll bring a 'winning culture' to Giants / - - - The New York Giants signed sixth-year running back Matt Breida to potentially backup Saquon Barkley on Monday. - Breida has had a modest start to his NFL career, totaling 3,010 scrimmage yards and 13 touchdowns in five seasons. His play and his outstanding yards per attempt (4.9 yards) have made him one of the best change of pace backs in the NFL. - Despite his impressive efficiency, Breida will now be joining the fourth team of his NFL career after spending three years in San Francisco, one in Miami, and most recently one in Buffalo. There he played under current Giants head coach Brian Daboll which played a big part in him bringing his talents to East Rutherford. - “Nothing but great things about this organization I’ve heard about,” Breida told reporters. “Obviously offensive coordinator and now he’s a head coach Brian Daboll, he’s a great guy, great person and he’s a great coach, so that was big in the decision in why I chose to come here. Second of all, yeah, something was already in the works before. Like I said, I already had my mind made up before this, so I knew I was going to go.” - Daboll helped the Buffalo Bills and Breida have the third-best offense in terms of points per game last season. When you score you win, two things the Giants did not do last season with the second-lowest scoring offense in the NFL. - Breida wants to help Daboll import the “winning culture” the Bills and help the Giants “add on to that and build what’s already been here.” - It’s no secret that the Giants have been one of the worst teams in the NFL over the past five seasons. A change is needed and Daboll and Breida both have a lot of experience in winning football games. Hopefully for the Giants, they can help the team return to the great organization it once was. - - List - - Giants assign numbers to newly signed free agents - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants go all defense in latest USA TODAY mock draft / - - - The New York Giants

Giants go all defense in latest USA TODAY mock draft / - - - The New York Giants have spent the first wave of free agency heavily focused on the offensive side of the ball. They’ve added several offensive linemen, wide receivers and even a tight end. - The question is, has that approach opened up options in the 2022 NFL draft? Does it mean they will go heavy on defense over the first few rounds? - Nate Davis of USA TODAY certainly thinks so. In his latest mock draft, he has the Giants outright ignoring their offensive line in favor of beefing up their secondary. - Up first at No. 5 overall is Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton. - 5. New York Giants – S Kyle Hamilton, Notre Dame: He’s 6-4 and 220 pounds with sub-4.6 speed and can shore up deficiencies at the second and/or third levels. Hamilton can provide coverage, a box presence, blitzing ability and an intimidation factor. And with veteran Logan Ryan’s release opening a job on the back end, sure seems like pairing Hamilton with improving Xavier McKinney would give Big Blue a heckuva safety tandem. - After releasing veteran safety Logan Ryan, the selection of Hamilton makes much more sense than it had previously. The Giants now have a need at the position and Hamilton has as much upside as anyone else in the draft. - Two picks later, the Giants forego adding a talented edge rusher in favor of another body in the secondary. This time, Cincinnati cornerback Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner. - 7. Giants (from Chicago Bears) – CB Ahmad ‘Sauce’ Gardner, Cincinnati: Totally feasible that New York could take a pair of defensive backs in a three-pick span, this one obtained in last year’s draft day deal involving QB Justin Fields. Gardner would be a safe plug-and-play selection, the consensus All-American allowing only 20 receptions in 2021, picking off three passes and – evidence of his all-around game – posting 40 tackles and three sacks. And talk about shutdown – he never allowed a TD pass while with the Bearcats. His 6-3, 190-pound build is another selling point to a league that likes big corners. Adding Gardner might also trigger a deal of veteran CB James Bradberry and bring more needed draft ammo back to the Giants. - The selection of Gardner only makes sense if the Giants are able to trade James Bradberry or are confident a post-draft trade will be agreed upon. They do not intend to release the veteran, so taking Gardner before Bradberry is dealt would be a risky move. - Still, Gardner has a high ceiling and a potentially bright future. He would come in and start on Day 1 (if Bradberry is traded), giving the Giants a top-end corner for the foreseeable future.

Report: Giants 'love' Georgia RB James Cook / - - - When the University of Georgia held their Pro Day on March 16, the New York Giants were well-represented. Among those in attendance was general manager Joe Schoen. - At the time, rumors had begun to swirl that the Giants had their eye on running back James Cook. They were intrigued by his skillset and wanted a closer look. - As it turns out, the Giants really liked what they saw. - Matt Lombardo of GMEN HQ reports that the Giants “love” Cook — from their scouts all the way of up to Schoen himself. - “The Giants love James Cook,” a league source tells FanSided. - Cook, 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds, rushed for 728 yards and seven touchdowns, while averaging 6.4 yards per carry as a senior for the National Champion Bulldogs last season. - “The thing I like about him is he’s a solid change-of-pace guy,” an NFC Executive tells FanSided, on the condition of anonymity because he isn’t authorized to speak publicly on prospects. “He may not be a three-down back, but he runs hard and has a lot of talent.” - Although the Giants are open to trading Saquon Barkley, his market has not developed. If they can’t find a trade partner by late April and the early part of the 2022 NFL draft, he’s expected to remain in tow and start this coming season. - But that doesn’t mean the Giants won’t have to address the position. After releasing Devontae Booker earlier this year, there is most certainly a need to add depth. The team also needs to concern themselves with the future of the position as Barkley’s status beyond 2022 is very much up in the air. - Cook could quell some of those concerns for the Giants and even potentially play a significant role behind Barkley as a rookie. Early projections have him going anywhere from Round 3 to Round 5, so Schoen wouldn’t even need to burn any of his top draft capital in order to land him. - - List - - Giants assign numbers to newly signed free agents - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in

The connections and memories I made are something I will cherish forever and as I move on to my next chapter, I’ll never forget the Big Blue!” - A third-round pick in the 2018 NFL draft, Carter was expected to come in and transform into a game-changing edge rusher for the Giants. And at times, there were flashes that led many to believe the 26-year-old would become exactly that. However, injury and inconsistency ultimately stunted Carter’s growth in East Rutherford and a strong six-week stint to end last season wasn’t enough to earn him another opportunity. - In 49 career games with the Giants (33 starts), Carter recorded 153 tackles (94 solo, 21 for a loss), 35 QB hits, 14.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, 15 passes defensed and one interception. - - List - - Giants assign numbers to newly signed free agents - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - -

Giants pick Evan Neal, Derek Stingley Jr. in The Sporting News mock / NFL mock draft season is in full

Giants pick Evan Neal, Derek Stingley Jr. in The Sporting News mock / NFL mock draft season is in full swing, and now with all the trades and player movement, teams’ positioning and needs are changing. - The New York Giants have not been effected position-wise as they still hold the fifth and seventh overall selections in the first round. The teams around them however, may have changed their priorities. - In the latest mock draft from The Sporting News, the Giants stick to their guns and bring in a much needed offensive tackle and a cover cornerback. - 5. New York Giants (4-13): Evan Neal, OT, Alabama (6-7, 337 pounds) - The Giants have hacked away on their offensive line by getting new interior starting options in Matt Gono, Jon Feliciano and Mark Glowinski. They also parted ways with Nate Solder. They need a rock of an all-around tackle to complement the edge blocking of first-rounder Andrew Thomas. Neal fits the bill for former Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. - There’s no argument here. If Neal is somehow left on the board, the Giants should run to the podium with the card. He can play both tackle positions and is as a unique an athlete as you will find in any draft. - It’s not often the Giants can fall into a franchise player such as this, so Giant fans (and Daniel Jones) will be applauding this stroke of luck. - 7. New York Giants (from Chicago Bears): Derek Stingley Jr., CB, LSU (6-1, 195 pounds) - Stingley is in play for this pick with the rumors the Giants are trying to move James Bradberry and his big contract under new GM Joe Scoen. Stingley is a big and long dynamic cover man and elite on-ball playmaking skills in the Jalen Ramsey mold. - Good player and at a position of need if they do end up dealing James Bradberry, but Stingley might not be the pick here with Cincinnati’s Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner still available. - Overall, the Giants land two potential Pro Bowlers and upgrade their sagging roster after years of mixing and matching with free agents. - - List - - New York Giants' 2022 free agency scorecard - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now

Examining Giants' history of top-7 draft picks / The New York Giants hold the fifth and seventh overall selections in

Examining Giants' history of top-7 draft picks / The New York Giants hold the fifth and seventh overall selections in the 2022 NFL draft. It is the first time they’ve had two picks in the top-10 since the amateur draft began back in 1936. - Throughout their history, the Giants have had 21 picks in the top-7, 11 of which came after the 1970 NFL/AFL merger: - - No. 1: Kyle Rote (1951), Tucker Frederickson (1965) - No. 2: Skippy Minisi (1948), Lawrence Taylor (1981), Saquon Barkley (2018) - No. 3: John Hicks (1974), Carl Banks (1984) - No. 4: Ed Widseth (1937), Paul Page (1949), Philip Rivers (2004), Andrew Thomas (2020) - No. 5: George Connor (1946), Gary Jeter (1977), Cedric Jones (1996) - No. 6: George Franck (1941), Steve Filipowicz (1943), Billy Hillenbrand (1944), Daniel Jones (2019) - No. 7: Travis Tidwell (1950), Phil Simms (1979), Ike Hilliard (1997) - - Of these 21 players, only two went on to Hall of Fame careers. Taylor, of course, and Connor — but not as a Giant. In 1946, Connor decided to forego the NFL for Notre Dame. He eventually would end up with the Chicago Bears where he became an All-Pro tackle. - Rote played 11 seasons for the Giants, making the Pro Bowl four times and was a key contributor on their 1956 NFL Championship team. Frederickson was not so lucky. After a Pro Bowl rookie season, a knee injury would dog him for the remainder of his career, which ended in 1971. - Hicks was a star at Ohio State but fizzled with the Giants on some of the worst offenses in team history. Banks became a star at outside linebacker and in enshrined in the team’s Ring of Honor. - Rivers never played a down for the Giants, getting traded on draft day in the deal that brought Eli Manning to New York. Both will be in Canton shortly. - Jeter played six seasons for the Giants before being traded to the Rams, where he played six more years. He is credited with 79.5 sacks in his 12-year career. - Cedric Jones was the player the Giants ended up with in the 1996 draft after losing out on Kevin Hardy, Simeon Rice and Jonathan Ogden. He played in 79 games over five seasons and recorded just 15 sacks. In retrospect, they could have used the pick on Eddie George, Marvin Harrison or Ray Lewis. - Simms became the Giants’ franchise quarterback in the team’s resurgence in the 1980s. He led the Giants to their first NFL Championship in 30 years in 1986 in Super Bowl XXI, where had a record-setting day and was named the game’s MVP. - Hilliard had a solid eight-year career with the Giants and is sixth all-time in receptions and tenth in receiving yards for Big Blue. He played four seasons with Tampa Bay after the left New York. - Jones and Thomas are still with the team and are

Ex-Giant Jerry Reese interviews for Steelers' GM job / Former New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese is drawing consideration

Ex-Giant Jerry Reese interviews for Steelers' GM job / Former New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese is drawing consideration from the Pittsburgh Steelers for their open GM job. The 58-year-old officially interviewed on Saturday. - Reese served as an assistant coach at UT-Martin for eight year before he broke into the NFL with the New York Giants in 1994. He spent his first four years with the team as a college scout before becoming a pro scout. In 2004, Reese was promoted to director of player personnel and in 2007, was hired as the team’s general manager. - At the time of his hiring, Reese became just the third Black GM in NFL history. That same year, he became the first Black GM to win a Super Bowl. - Four years later, as Giants fans know all too well, Reese won a second Super Bowl title when New York again upended the New England Patriots. - Things began to sour after that, however. The Giants’ downfall was swift and Reese got caught up in the current. He, alongside then-head coach Ben McAdoo, were fired midway through the 2017 season. There was no goodbye, no farewell party or anything to acknowledge Reese’s tenure — just an adios and good luck. - Since being fired by the Giants, Reese, who was groomed under Ernie Accorsi, has rarely resurfaced for air. He interviewed for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ vacant GM position in 2021 and drew brief interest from the Atlanta Falcons, but that’s been about it. - Reese has spent the past five years quietly living on a farm in rural Tennessee, but perhaps a return is imminent? The Steelers have interviewed a deep and talented pool, but Reese is both qualified and deserving. It’s well past time he received a second chance. - - List - - New York Giants' 2022 free agency scorecard - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants snatch OT Evan Neal in latest Draft Wire mock / The flurry of activity in the NFL this week has shaken up the order for the 2022 NFL draft. The New York Giants have the fifth and seventh picks in said draft and at one time certain players were thought to be long gone by the time they were on the clock. - Not so anymore. - Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling maps out how he sees the first round of the draft playing out and it benefits the Giants, who land offensive tackle Evan Neal at No. 5 overall. - 5. New York Giants | Alabama OT Evan Neal - You can make an argument that Neal should be the first pick in this draft and you wouldn’t get much resistance. A freak of an athlete at 6’7″ 1/2 and 337 pounds, Neal would come right in start at either left or right tackle for the Giants. The Giants’ offensive line would no longer be a liability. A godsend of a pick here. - With their second pick of the first round, the Giants land another Day 1 starter. However, this selection may come with a little criticism given what remained on the board. - 7. New York Giants (from CHI) | Florida State EDGE Jermaine Johnson II - Some would lobby for Georgia’s Travon Walker in this spot and I don’t have an issue with that, but they should take another look at Johnson’s tape. The 6-foot-5, 265 pounder had gotten lost due to his transfer from Georgia to Florida State and his generic name hasn’t helped. Make no mistake, this kid is a dangerous defender who offensive coordinators will have to account for. - In short, the Giants get two big bodies, one on each side of the ball, and finally give themselves a chance to compete. - - List - - 2022 NFL draft: Giants select a new QB in full 7-round mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Tyrod Taylor working out alongside Colin Kaepernick / The New York Giants officially announced the signing of quarterback Tyrod Taylor earlier this week, giving them quality depth at the position behind presumed starter Daniel Jones. - But during his introductory Zoom call, Taylor refused to concede the starting role. He was steadfast in his determination to help the team, and that means staying ready to step in when called upon. - It also means keeping his body in shape, his timing down and his mechanics in line. - In an effort to do that, Taylor got right back to work after signing with the Giants. He joined Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Joshua Dobbs and former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick for some private workouts on Friday. - The four got together at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia as Kaepernick continues to attempt and NFL comeback. - - Colin Kaepernick is training with Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and Josh Dobbs today . #colinkaepernick #justinfields pic.twitter.com/2SszEjm7Ch - — The Brent Hughes Show (@TopFanTV) March 18, 2022 - - - Ironically, the Giants’ decision to sign Taylor as Jones’ backup meant one less potential job for Kaepernick.

Ex-Giant Evan Engram says goodbye to New York, fans / The Evan Engram era is over in East Rutherford, and both the New York Giants and Engram himself should be thankful. - A first-round pick in 2017, Engram entered the league with high expectations. He was considered a matchup nightmare and a piece that would help put the Giants’ offense over-the-top. Early on, he showed flashes but eventually, the wheels came off. - Engram was never able to grow into the role many anticipated for him, while the coaching staff and personnel repeatedly shifted around him. The constant changes coupled with Engram’s propensity for injury and key drops slowly whittled away at his confidence. And the confidence of the fans. - The union mercifully came to an end early in free agency as Engram agreed to a one-year, $9 million deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars. - On Friday, Engram finally said his goodbyes to New York and the fans who stuck with him. He made no mention of the Giants or his critics. - - Man I got so much love for New York. It will always be a huge part of my life! Thank you to the loyal ones that always had my back through all the ups and downs. I appreciate y’all more than you’ll ever know. #EazyOut - — Evan Engram (@eazyengram) March 19, 2022 - - - Engram tried to avoid conflict with fans and often ignored their boos and criticisms. They didn’t go unnoticed, however — there was no way he didn’t hear it. - Things reached a breaking point in 2021 when Engram was repeatedly showered with boos at MetLife Stadium. Each pass in his direction drew ire from the crowd. If he caught it, they’d give him a sarcastic Bronx cheer. If he didn’t… well, you can imagine how that went. - Engram will have a fresh start in Jacksonville and a new coordinator looking to finally unlock his full potential. - - List - - New York Giants' 2022 free agency scorecard - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

But the truth is, he’s basically been a second- and third-teamer who has spent time buried on the depth charts in Cleveland and Kansas City. - With the Giants, Seals-Jones is hoping to challenge for the starting tight end job (or one of them) as Big Blue reshuffles their offense under new head coach Brian Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka. - Seals-Jones spoke the Giants beat pool on Friday, staying that he “loves New York” despite wearing a Houston Astros cap for the interview.

Kenny Golladay's 2023 roster bonus becomes guaranteed on Friday / - - - One of of the reasons

Kenny Golladay's 2023 roster bonus becomes guaranteed on Friday / - - - One of of the reasons the New York Giants have been scrambling for salary cap space this year is that they overspent the past few years on free agents that haven’t moved the needle for them. - Last year, the Giants signed wide receiver Kenny Golladay $72 million over four years with $40 million guaranteed. Truth be told, other teams wanted him but not at that price. Golladay was coming off an injury-shortened season and was in line for more of a ‘prove-it’ deal but the Giants felt he was worth franchise-level money. - Of course, Golladay got hurt — twice — and was never a significant factor in the Giants’ pop-gun offense. The player who led the NFL in touchdown receptions just two season before scored zero last season. - This year, the Giants had little latitude when it came to Golladay’s contract. With a dead cap charge of over $28 million this year, the Giants were forced to leave it alone. - - It's a good day to be Kenny Golladay (most days are good after you sign a $72M contract). His $4.5M roster bonus for *2023* becomes fully guaranteed today. - — Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) March 18, 2022 - - - After this season, Golladay’s contract becomes a bit more palatable. His dead cap number in 2023 is just over $10 million, followed by $6.8 million in 2024 and $3.8 million in 2025. - Of course, Golladay’s deal would even be more palatable if he stepped up and became the ‘go-to’ wideout they hoped he could be. But as it stands now, this will be his ‘prove-it’ year. The way the college game is grooming wideouts these days, the position has become so rich and fluid teams would rather take their chances with rookies. - - List - - New York Giants' 2022 free agency scorecard - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Former Giants scout weighs in on QB Daniel Jones / - - - Barring something unforeseen, the New

Former Giants scout weighs in on QB Daniel Jones / - - - Barring something unforeseen, the New York Giants are choosing to ride with Daniel Jones in 2022. They signed veteran Tyrod Taylor this week, assumingly to back Jones up. - But there are many who have seen enough of Jones and want to move on. There is also the camp that believes Jones hasn’t been given a fair shot to succeed here and want to give him that shot this year. - So, what do outsiders think of the situation? Tom Rudawsky, a former NFL scout who has worked for the Miami Dolphins and the Giants, who now writes for The 33rd Team blog among other publications had this to say about Jones. - When you put the tape on, it’s easy to see why so many remain steadfast on the 24-year old. Jones has the prototypical QB frame at 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, and possesses top-tier mechanics. At Duke, he was coached by the man who helped groom Peyton and Eli Manning in college — David Cutcliffe. Cutcliffe is highly respected in league circles due to his work with quarterbacks, something that also attracted the Giants to Jones in 2019. Jones has textbook lower body mechanics and footwork, a trait that often leads to very good accuracy to all three levels. He’s got good arm strength — he can drive it into tight windows and deliver it on time across-field. He’s proven to be a very effective deep ball thrower as well. Per NextGenStats, he was the best deep ball thrower (passes 20 yards or more) in the NFL in 2020. - . . . - From a scouting standpoint, he still has issues seeing the field at times, forcing the ball into inopportune situations and struggling to hold onto the ball in the pocket when hit. The decision-making makes you scratch your head at times, as he tries to do too much too often. While there are many factors that contribute to the losing (and to some of his turnovers, for that matter), make no mistake about it: Jones rightfully deserves to be held accountable for the 12-25 record and his 49 turnovers. It’s an ugly part of his résumé as a pro, and if he wants to be viewed as a foundational player and mainstay starter, he must show he can escape both labels. - Rudawsky says Jones is going have to sing for his supper — something that should have happened last year — and there may not be any clear closure to the debate on whether he is the long term answer. - Entering the 2021 season, many labeled Jones as one of the players in the NFL with the most pressure on him. I’d argue there’s far greater pressure on the even-keeled 24-year-old entering 2022. As complicated as his situation has been over his first three years, the path that lies ahead really is quite simple: Either he plays his way into

2022 NFL draft: Giants should now be in on Kyle Hamilton / - - - The New York

2022 NFL draft: Giants should now be in on Kyle Hamilton / - - - The New York Giants hold the fifth and seventh selections in the 2022 NFL draft next month. They were not expected to use either on a safety. - That is, until Thursday when they released veteran safety Logan Ryan in a surprise move. Ryan’s release leaves the Giants with just four safeties on the roster — budding star Xavier McKinney, Julian Love, J.R. Reed and Steven Parker. - Does this mean that the Giants could entertain takin Notre Dame’s stud safety, Kyle Hamilton, with one of those picks should he be available? - That remains to be seen but the argument can certainly be made. What we do know is that Hamilton is the highest-rated prospect by NFL Network’s Lance Zierlein with a grade of 6.88, which projects to “Year 1 Starter” status. - Hamilton is 6-foot-4 and weighs in at 220 pounds. His NFL comparison is former Seattle Seahawks All-Pro Kam Chancellor, the leader of legendary ‘Legion of Boom’ and, oh, he ran a 4.59 40-yard dash at the NFL combine this year and has 33-inch arms. - From Zierlein: - High-impact safety with unique blend of traits and characteristics that make him a bit of a unicorn at the position. Hamilton has the eyes and speed to play over the top, the strength and toughness to play near the line, and coverage length to guard elite pass-catching tight ends who often mismatch opposing defenses. - It’s rare to find such a ferocious striker and intimidator who has the football intelligence and athletic prowess to go make plays in the passing game, but Hamilton provides it all. He thrives playing downhill or sinking into a robber alignment on the back-end but will have occasional missteps in coverage when in retreat from his pedal. Hamilton has the traits and football character to transition from standout college moments to a standout pro career as a future Pro Bowler with All-Pro potential. - The Giants’ decision on what to do in the first round of the draft this year just got a little harder. - NFL Draft: Will Kyle Hamilton be a top-5 pick? - Powered By PickUp - - List - - New York Giants' 2022 free agency scorecard - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - -

Giants eat ton of dead cap with release of captain Logan Ryan / Editor’s note: Initial reports from ESPN suggested the Giants would save $6.3 million with the release of Ryan. Those reports have proven incorrect. - The New York Giants released a veteran defensive back on Thursday but it wasn’t the one everyone expected. - Safety Logan Ryan, a defensive captain, was the player let go, not cornerback James Bradberry, who the Giants are still hoping to trade. - Ryan announced his release and said his goodbyes via Twitter. The Giants later confirmed the transaction. - - Thank You NY Captain Log Out pic.twitter.com/Pl6m2Y3nJC - — Logan Ryan (@RealLoganRyan) March 17, 2022 - - - Initial reports suggested the Giants would save around $6.3 million in cap space based on contractual guarantee dates. However, the actual savings will be as little as $775,000. - - Deleted my Logan Ryan tweet. Appears I got bad information. - The move only saves $775,000 it turns out. - — Zack Rosenblatt (@ZackBlatt) March 17, 2022 - - - - Final answer on this (probably): Giants clear $775,000 in cap space by cutting Logan Ryan, per multiple sources. It was not a cost-cutting move. - (I know there are reports that say it's more and there is confusion over his guaranteed money. But this is my final answer for now). https://t.co/1c52YLuthr - — Ralph Vacchiano (@RVacchianoSNY) March 17, 2022 - - - - The confusion with this is Ryan has a quirk in his contract. Long story short, $5.5M of his $9.25M salary for 2022 was fully guaranteed. Another $3M would have become fully guaranteed if we was on the roster tomorrow. So they needed to cut him before tomorrow for any savings. - — Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) March 17, 2022 - - - Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reported early in the offseason that some in the front office wanted to move on from Ryan, who was a primary supporter of Joe Judge. - There are some people in the Giants’ front office that want to move on from the veteran safety, the Daily News has learned. But Ryan, who turned 31 on Feb. 9, is a critical leader and contributor. - . . . - No one has delivered Ryan any bad news yet, to The News’ knowledge. It wouldn’t hurt if new defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale went to bat for Ryan, though. He provides significant value on and off the field. - In 15 games last season, Ryan recorded the lowest Pro Football Focus grade (60.4) of his career. He also allowed 81.4% of all targets in his direction to be caught, surrendering three touchdowns in the process. His also missed 10 tackles. - Will Raiders sign Logan Ryan? - Powered By PickUp - - List - - New York Giants' 2022 free agency scorecard -

Report: Giants center Nick Gates suffers minor setback in rehab / - - - The New York Giants have been adding to their offensive line stable the past few days with the signing of tackle Matt Gono, guard Mark Glowinski and prospective center Jon Feliciano. That’s about as good a use of the very little salary cap space they have as one could give hoped. - But they are far from done. The offensive line will still be a top focus this summer in both free agency and the upcoming draft. The three new faces will likely compete for starting spots on the line. - Currently, only left tackle is penciled in with former first rounder Andrew Thomas developing into a franchise player. The other four spots are up for grabs. - Shane Lemieux will vie for a guard spot after missing most of last season with a knee injury. So will his replacement, Ben Bredeson, who the Giants got in a trade with Baltimore last season. At tackle, Matt Peart is still on the roster and the new coaching staff will attempt to revive his prospects. - Feliciano will be tried at center, which he calls his favorite position. He likely won’t get a challenge from Nick Gates, who apparently is not close to returning from the frightening leg injury he suffered last season. - - People are asking me about Nick Gates since the Feliciano signing. I’m hearing Gates had a little setback with the rod in his leg and is not expected to be on the field for a awhile. Don’t expect to see the big guy this summer. - — The Giant Insider Newspaper & Podcast (@GiantInsider) March 17, 2022 - - - Gates’ leg fracture was one of the more severe we’ve seen in years and his comeback was reportedly going well. This news is not encouraging and the Giants are likely to seek another center. - Billy Price, who finished last season at the position, is a free agent and it’s possible the Giants turn back to him, but the draft might be a better place to turn. - - List - - New York Giants' 2022 free agency scorecard - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive

Giants were NFL's second-most stressful team to watch in 2021 / - - - You don’t have to tell the fans of the New York Giants that they are stressful to watch. With five consecutive double-digit loss seasons (and seven of the last eight) in the books, Big Blue has become painful to follow. - The folks at Action Network rated every team in the NFL on the stress factor they had on their fans and the Giants came in second to the Baltimore Ravens. - The Ravens came in first due to their six close losses and five close wins. The Giants were a distant second with 13 overall losses and massive games lost due to injury. - The New York Giants place second on the list of most stressful teams to support with a total index score of 86.73. The Giants were especially guilty of sloppy play last season. They had more giveaways per game than any other NFL franchise (1.8). They also suffered more injuries than any other team. Giants players missed an incredible combined 369 games between September 2021 and February 2022. - While expectations were relatively low for the Giants at the outset of the season, fans were still likely to find themselves upset and disappointed with how things went on the field for their Giants in 2021-22. - Ah, injuries. The Giants have changed so many faces over the past decade but are still encountering an usually high rash of injuries each year. The new general manager and coaching staff perhaps can put an end to that because if they don’t, they will suffer the same fate that has caused the Giants to churn through five head coaches in the past seven years. - - List - - New York Giants' 2022 free agency scorecard - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants land edge rusher, tackle in latest PFF mock draft / - - - NFL free agency is heading into full swing, so many of the previous mock drafts are being rendered irrelevant from a team ‘needs’ standpoint as teams being not fill their glaring holes with free agents. - In their latest 2022 mock draft, the folks at Pro Football Focus didn’t really care about that too much. They believe teams will still seek to fill their weakest positions with highly-ranked rookies through the draft. - When it comes to the New York Giants, PFF still sees them bringing in the big bodies with the firth and seventh overall selections — one of defense, one on offense. - 5. NEW YORK GIANTS: EDGE JERMAINE JOHNSON, FLORIDA STATE - One of the biggest risers in this draft class kept that momentum going at the combine. Johnson has proven throughout this process that he’s a total-package edge player and one of the best players in the draft. - The 6-foot-5, 262-pound Jermaine Johnson began his career at Georgia before transferring to FSU, and most would have mocked another Bulldog to the Giants (Travon Walker) here ahead of Johnson but the fact is, they both are forces to be reckoned with. - Johnson was the ACC Defensive Player of the Year in 2021 with 23 runs stops and 14 sacks. He can play either side of the line with his hand in the dirt or standing and is not a liability in coverage if asked to drop back. New defense coordinator Wink Martindale would have fun with him and make opponents miserable. - 7. NEW YORK GIANTS (VIA CHI): OT TREVOR PENNING, NORTHERN IOWA - The Giants re-signed offensive tackle Matt Gono and guard Mark Glowinski. They also signed guard Jon Feliciano. But I don’t think they’re done prioritizing the offensive line. Something Giants new GM Joe Schoen emphasized multiple times at his combine presser was the qualities of offensive linemen being “smart, tough and dependable.” He went on to detail traits of speed and strength. Now, any coach would want those qualities but after seeing Penning impress athletically at the combine, it makes me think he could be very high on their list. - At 6-foot-7 and 325 pounds, Trevor Penning is surely big enough to be an effective tackle in the NFL. What’s not listed here is his strength and demeanor. The Giants want to add some nastiness and finishers up front and this kid fits both bills. - - List - - New York Giants' 2022 free agency scorecard - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? -

Jon Feliciano excited to play his 'best position' with Giants / - - - Jon Feliciano has spent the vast majority of his professional career taking snaps at guard. That comes on the heels of taking most of his college snaps at tackle. - But in 2022 with the New York Giants, Feliciano won’t see time at either position. Rather, he’ll be converted to center — something he’s been clamoring for dating back to his days with the Oakland Raiders. - “Going back to my Oakland days, I had a guy, Rodney Hudson, who’s a top-tier, one-two center the last 10 years. I got to pick his brain and learn from him, and Mike Tice and Tim Holt,” Feliciano told reporters on Wednesday. “I took those four years of being a rotational guy, a back-up guy, to learn a position that I didn’t play in college. - “In college I played tackle, I played both tackles and then left guard. So, from those first four years, I got to learn center and I really fell in love with it. Just the responsibility that is on your hands to come in every week and everything is basically on you. You’ve got to know the defense. You’ve got to make all of the calls for the guys around you. I take a lot of pride in knowing that stuff. - “I’ve been in a lot of people’s ears for a lot of years trying to get into the center position. I honestly think it’s my best position, and I’m just really excited to finally get to show what I’ve got.” - The Giants were certainly in need of a center entering the offseason. Nick Gates suffered a horrific leg injury a season ago and there’s no guarantee that he’ll be able to play in 2022, so Feliciano made sense. He’s got obvious familiarity with head coach Brian Daboll and understands his offense, plus he’s got past experience with offensive line coach Bobby Johnson. - “It started when I was a rotational guy and Bobby did the goal-line plays, so every week he would draw up the goal line plays and he started looking out for me and putting me in as a fullback, or tight end, basically just looking out for me and putting me in anywhere he could. Even went out in motion and ran a couple of routes. It’s every fat man’s dream,” Feliciano said with a laugh. “But our relationship started from there.” - With the Giants, Feliciano will be in control of the communication and blocking assignments. It’s a tall order but one he’s taking seriously, especially given his thoughts on quarterback Daniel Jones. - “when I went to Buffalo the first time, they were struggling up front — the offensive line was,” he said. “Our 2019 free agent o-line group, we understood going in that this team had potential if we had the quarterback upright. I believe the same thing watching Danny Dimes play. I

Report: Giants expected to sign QB Tyrod Taylor / The New York Giants entered the NFL’s “legal tampering” period in acknowledged need of a backup quarterback. They had their sights set on Mitchell Trubisky, but he ultimately signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers. - After the Giants went back to the drawing board, general manager Joe Schoen found his guy in Tyrod Taylor. - ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Taylor has agreed to a two-year, $17 million contract that includes $8.5 million guaranteed. - - Former Texans’ QB Tyrod Taylor intends to sign a two-year, $17 million deal, including $8.5 million with the New York Giants, per source. - — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 15, 2022 - - - The 32-year-old Taylor was a sixth-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens in the 2011 NFL draft. After spending his first four seasons with the Ravens, he signed with the Buffalo Bills and briefly crossed paths with Schoen (2017). - Taylor spent the 2018 season with the Cleveland Browns before joining the Los Angeles Chargers for two seasons. He spent last years with the Houston Texans. - In 78 career games (53 starts), Taylor, who was named to the Pro Bowl in 2015, has completed 61.3% of his passes for 10,736 yards, 59 touchdowns and 25 interceptions. He’s also rushed the ball 361 times for 2,001 yards and 19 touchdowns, giving the Giants their desired mobility. - Taylor’s contract is obviously a significant investment and one that makes sense given what occurred in 2021 when Jones went down. It’s wasn’t the starter-level investment Trubisky commanded, but it’s still indicates a level of commitment from the Giants. - Jones will enter training camp as the presumed starter, but he will be challenged by a very capable Taylor. - - List - - Giants to sign OL Mark Glowinski: 3 things to know - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

PFF breaks down Giants' offseason needs / - - - NFL free agency effectively begins on Monday at noon with the ‘legal tampering’ period, and teams will be driving hard to the hoop to cover their roster needs so that they won’t have to rely on the upcoming NFL draft. - The New York Giants have a ton of work to do on their roster, which is one of the worst in the NFL. New general manager Joe Schoen is under no illusions and is in the midst of making some no-win decisions on key players. - The Giants need just about everything. They sent no one to the Pro Bowl last year, the second time in the past three seasons they went unrepresented. That speaks volumes about where they stand talent wise. - The folks at Pro Football Focus recently outlined each team’s roster needs heading into free agency and the draft. Here’s what they wrote about the Giants. - NEW YORK GIANTS: IOL, LB, EDGE - Some teams have several needs listed but may only have one that is pressing. For New York, these three position groups are all massive issues. The interior offensive line ranked dead last in unit pass-blocking grade, the linebacker corps was the third-lowest-graded and the edge group ranked fourth-to-last in pass-rush grade. The cap situation is a disaster for the Giants, but they are rich in draft capital, anchored by two top-10 picks. - Giants fans will agree their team needs all of those — and more. In fact, they only have one starter penciled in on the the offensive line, left tackle Andrew Thomas. Most teams usually have the other four spots covered and are in need of a left tackle, but these Giants have been doing things backwards for a decade now. - The Giants actually need to add a center, a guard and a tackle this offseason. Maybe even two guards as Nick Gates and Shane Lemieux are coming off injuries and there’s little chance they bring back Will Hernandez. Billy Price is headed for free agency and Ben Bredeson is still around, but the Giants are likely to seek upgrades - Maybe the team thinks recently signed Matt Gono and former third rounder Matt Peart can settle in at right tackle, but if the Giants have a chance to draft Evan Neal, Ikem Ekwonu, Charles Cross or Trevor Penning they almost can’t pass. - The Giants always need linebackers but they can solve one of their holes by re-signing Lorenzo Carter, who played as well as any outside linebacker in the league the final month of last season. Blake Martinez is coming back and they still don’t know what they have in Carter Coughlin, Tae Crowder and T.J. Brunson, so until they figure all of that out, it might be wise to use resources elsewhere. - As for Edge rusher, maybe people forgot they have some talent there. Azeez Ojulari had 8.0 sacks as a rookie last

Trial for shooter of ex-Giant Corey Ballentine begins on Monday / The trial for Francisco Mendez, accused of killing Dwane Simmons and injuring former New York Giants cornerback Corey Ballentine, will begin on Monday. - Police say Mendez opened fired on a group of Washburn football players and other off-campus partygoers in Topeka, Kansas on the third night of the 2019 NFL draft. Hours earlier, Ballentine had been selected by the Giants at No. 180 overall. - Simmons died from a gunshot wound to the head, while Ballentine was struck in his lower backside. After an extensive investigation, Mendez was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. He also faced several charges stemming form unrelated incidents. - “I think he helped me get here every step of the way,” Ballentine said of Simmons in July of 2019. “When I was out on the field myself, he would come out and join me and I kind of feeling I’m doing it for both of us. If he was here now, he would love to see where I’m at now. - “I’m going to keep him in my heart and at the same time strive for the goals of the team and my own personal goals and just do my best.” - Simmons was a cornerback for Washburn’s football team, where Ballentine played before being drafted by the Giants. Topeka Police Chief Bill Cochran said that the two friends were “in the wrong place at the wrong time” when they were shot. - Ballentine spent his first season and a half with the Giants before being waived in November of 2020. He was later claimed by the New York Jets and remained in East Rutherford through the 2020 season. - In 2021, Ballentine spent the season with the Detroit Lions. He was signed to a reserve/futures deal by the Atlanta Falcons this past January. - - RelatedGiants' Corey Ballentine testifies against man who shot him, murdered friend18-year-old charged with murder in fatal shooting that injured Corey BallentineGiants sent reps to support Corey Ballentine during friend's funeral - - - - - - - - Email - - - - Sign up - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - An error has occured - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Lawrence Tynes wants Giants to stay away from Mitchell Trubisky / - - - As the start of the new league year approaches, rumors of quarterback Mitchell Trubisky to the New York Giants persist. - The Giants, of course, are looking to upgrade their backup quarterback position and provide Daniel Jones some training camp competition. And given Trubisky’s connections to general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll, the move would make sense. - But that’s where the sense ends. - Trubisky is a surprisingly hot name with free agency looming and many expect him to be paid well — some even believe he’ll be overpaid. In fact, former New York Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum think the former first-round pick could get up to $16 million in 2022. - That’s far too rich for the Giants’ blood but even beyond that, they have a better starting option in Jones. And that opinion is shared by retired Giant and two-time Super Bowl champion Lawrence Tynes. - - I would go NUTS if the Giants sign Mitch Trubisky, I really would. We have his twin brother in Daniel Jones with more upside, we think. - Let's see if we can Jones to play better with better players (OL) and scheme around him. PLEASE PLEASE do not sign Trubisky, what a waste! - — ???????? ????? (@lt4kicks) March 14, 2022 - - - Tynes is essentially echoing what those of us at Giants Wire (and others) have already expressed. If Trubisky was to come in as a low-cost backup option, that would be one thing. But at between $10 – $16 million? That just doesn’t make any sense for the cash-strapped organization. - The notion that Trubisky is somehow more talented or has a higher ceiling than Jones is just not steeped in any sort of reality. It’s an anti-Jones sentiment for the sake of being an anti-Jones sentiment. - - List - - Under-the-radar free agents Giants could target - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - Sign up - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - An error has occured - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Saquon Barkley remains the focus of trade rumors / - - - At the 2022 NFL Combine

Giants' Saquon Barkley remains the focus of trade rumors / - - - At the 2022 NFL Combine in Indianapolis, New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen acknowledged that he’s open to trading several of the team’s big-name players. That includes running back Saquon Barkley. - “We’re still working through that, but I’m open to anything. Like whether it’s trading player for player. I’ll listen to anybody,” Schoen told reporters. “I’m not going to say we’re open for business on our entire roster. But if anybody is going to call and they’re interested in any of our players, I’ll certainly listen. - “We’re in a situation where unfortunately we have to get under the salary cap and we’re not in very good salary cap health. I’m not going to say yes to every deal, but I’m definitely going to listen and be open to situations that are best for the New York Giants.” - While the Giants may be open to dealing Barkley, they’d like to get something of quality in return. And therein lies the problem for New York. - Barkley is coming off multiple injury-plagued seasons, including a 2021 campaign that saw him miss four games due to ankle injuries. He’s also less than two years removed from a torn ACL and has not played like the explosive rookie we saw in 2018. - NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport previously reported that Barkley is unlikely to be traded due to his market value. Most teams view his worth around mid-range level at best, which is far less enticing for Schoen & Co. But ESPN’s Dan Graziano is leaving the door open to a deal — perhaps even expecting it. - More and more, I’m getting the sense that Saquon Barkley won’t be on the Giants in 2022. The team is open to trading him, as GM Joe Schoen indicated at the combine. And while his $7.2 million salary isn’t the top target in New York’s cap-saving efforts, it would help. The Giants’ hope is that a contending team with a need for one more explosive player on offense (Buffalo or Arizona?) might offer a midround pick for Barkley. - We’re just not seeing it unless the Giants become desperate to shed that salary. A mid- to late-round pick for a player with Barkley’s potential just doesn’t seem worth it for the team — at least not right now. - Will Saquon Barkley be traded this offseason? - Powered By PickUp - - List - - Under-the-radar free agents Giants could target - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - Sign up - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - An error has

Giants' James Bradberry among NFL leaders in passes defensed since 2019 / There’s no way the New York Giants can

Giants' James Bradberry among NFL leaders in passes defensed since 2019 / There’s no way the New York Giants can keep former Pro Bowl cornerback James Bradberry this season at his current salary. Bradberry is on the books for $21.8 million for 2022, which is an untenable figure considering the Giants are wrestling to get under the salary cap. - A trade of Bradberry would be optimal but time is running out. The NFL league year ends on Wednesday afternoon and the Giants may have no other recourse but to release their top corner. That would free up approximately $13.4 million in cap space but leave them with a dead cap charge of $9.7 million this year and $1.3 million in 2023. - There is some trade interest in Bradberry, but teams might just wait for him to be cut and take their chances via free agency. - - The #Raiders are expected to pursue multiple CB's for Patrick Graham's defense in the scheme of the 4-2-5.#RaiderNation - — NFL Rumors  (@nflrums) March 12, 2022 - - - - I’m expecting the #Chargers to be players in the cornerback market.

Naturally, a trade would be best and simply releasing him would be the worst. They other options would be to either extend Bradberry’s current contract and/or restructure it.

Mike Tannenbaum thinks Mitchell Trubisky will cost up to $16M / The New York Giants will be in the market

Mike Tannenbaum thinks Mitchell Trubisky will cost up to $16M / The New York Giants will be in the market for a backup to quarterback Daniel Jones this offseason and early rumors have them targeting Mitchell Trubisky. - Trubisky, of course, has some familiarity with Giants general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll. All three spent the past season in Buffalo and Trubisky recently raved about Daboll’s offense. But in the end, it will all come down to the financials. - The Giants are in rough cap shape and will have little to spend in free agency, while Trubisky is suddenly a hot name. Some believe he’ll warrant a contract of up to $10 million annually, but former New York Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum thinks it could be even more. - In fact, Tannenbaum sees Trubisky landing a contract with up to $16 million with that $10 million guaranteed at signing. - For teams seeking a QB this season, consider this: If Trubisky was in this year’s draft class, I think he would clearly be the top signal-caller. Why not bring him in for a year, see what you have and then reassess next offseason? The 2023 offseason will offer the likes of Derek Carr and Kirk Cousins in free agency, and possibly Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud in the draft. Best case, you win big with Trubisky. Worst case, you try again with a much better crop to passers to pick from. (I think Young could be the real deal, and if I were a team that is in need of a long-term quarterback and that could be near the top of the draft order in 2023, I’d be pretty excited.) - Trubisky has already started 50 games and is only 27 years old. He has led his team to the playoffs in two seasons. Yes, he needs to continue to improve his accuracy, but because of his character, work ethic and age, he might end up the best available quarterback out there. And you can sign him to a reasonable contract. - That’s a hefty price for a historically inconsistent quarterback. It’s also far more than the Giants should be willing to spend on a backup — or even a one-year starter for that matter. If that’s the approach required with Trubisky, the team would be (and will be) better suited just paying Daniel Jones less money for one season. Jones also comes with a higher potential ceiling. - The Giants will, of course, sign a quarterback to backup and compete with Jones, but they’ll have to be much smarter with their money. $16 million is out of the question and even $10 million is pushing it. - - List - - Under-the-radar free agents Giants could target - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Could Giants legend Michael Strahan replace Troy Aikman at FOX? / Rejoice, New York Giants fans! Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will no longer be calling Sunday games on FOX, having instead shifted over to ESPN where they’ll call Monday Night Football. - Although the Giants will have some primetime games in 2022, the frequency of Buck and Aikman on the call will be mercifully reduced.

He’s served as host or co-host on various television shows and can still be found on FOX NFL Sunday and Good Morning America. He also hosts The $100,000 Pyramid, which will return this year. - In addition to his many media ventures, Strahan has also dipped his toe into film production and has launched several clothing brands, including Collection by Michael Strahan, MSX by Michael Strahan and MSX by Michael Strahan for NFL. - Michaels, meanwhile, was rumored to be considering retirement after his NBC contract expired.

Evan Engram, Mitchell Trubisky among free agents likely to be overpaid / The New York Giants are experiencing a bit

Evan Engram, Mitchell Trubisky among free agents likely to be overpaid / The New York Giants are experiencing a bit of a salary cap crunch here in 2022, so their activity in free agency is likely to be limited. That means no big-ticket signings and no bidding wars for players. - That also likely means they’re out of the Mitchell Trubisky hunt despite the persistent rumors. Many anticipate Trubisky will command upwards of $10 million annually, and potentially even more. - That seems a bit excessive for Trubisky and is precisely why Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz of USA TODAY listed the quarterback among the 10 impending free agents who could be vastly overpaid. - Is this really happening? One year after being relegated to backup status in Buffalo following his disappointing run in Chicago reaching its end, the former No. 2 pick is surrounded by buzz of his potential ascension back to a starting role. Beyond the rave reviews he’s drawn from Bills coaches while sitting behind Josh Allen, it’s unclear exactly what got Trubisky back to this point. A weak draft crop of quarterbacks? Collective amnesia? Given his erratic decision-making and accuracy, Trubisky has proven only tenable as a starter when everything around him is clicking. That’s a setup unlikely to be offered by any team looking for a quick-fix behind center this offseason. Even for bridge starters, quarterback contracts can get unwieldy, so expect Trubisky to get a hefty sum. - There are some in love with the notion of the Giants signing Trubisky for reasons we can’t quite grasp. But with the way his market is shaping up, we won’t have to think about it much longer. - Another player who could be overpaid in free agency is Giants tight end Evan Engram. And although the team has told his representation they’d like to have him back under head coach Brian Daboll, it would have to come at a team-friendly price. - That’s not going to happen. Engram is now at or near the top of the tight end market. - The 6-3, 240-pound former first-rounder still demonstrates the kind of athleticism that will earn him additional chances, especially for those convinced his skill set was doomed in the Giants’ languishing offense. But with Engram now having five seasons under his belt, still struggling with drops and coming off career worsts in yards per game (27.2) and yards per catch (8.9), his appeal is more and more based in fantasy than reality. Still, it’s a good bet that some team will believe it can fix him. A lackluster draft class at tight end would seem to boost his bottom line, but Engram is essentially a big slot now. There are better, more efficient options elsewhere. - In addition to Engram and Trubisky, Middlehurst-Schwartz also listed Baltimore Ravens center Bradley Bozeman as a player likely to be overpaid. He, too, has been connected to the Giants through speculation. - - List - - Under-the-radar free agents Giants could

Giants' Xavier McKinney was among NFL's best man-coverage safeties in 2021 / One of the few bright spots in the 2021 season for the New York Giants was second-year safety Xavier McKinney. McKinney led the team in interceptions and took a significant jump in his sophomore season. - Now as the Giants try to turn the roster around, McKinney could be one of the pieces Big Blue builds around for the future. Certainly, the Giants have a few talented players on defense, but none have the potential at a young age like McKinney. - While McKinney most definitely impressed in 2021, it is possible he was underappreciated during the Giants’ abysmal four-win season in the first 17-game NFL season. - - Highest graded Safeties in man coverage last season - Jevon Holland: 84.9 Adrian Phillips: 82.9 Xavier McKinney: 81.8 pic.twitter.com/J1Z22euIzr - — PFF MIA Dolphins (@PFF_Dolphins) March 10, 2022 - - - When the Giants drafted the Alabama product, they knew they were getting a talented player who can play all over the field and clearly his coverage is one of his strong points. - Going into the season, it was hard to imagine McKinney getting enough playing time to impress as much as he did with such a crowded defensive backfield, particularly at the safety position. - After a couple key injuries all over the defense, including a season-ending injury to Jabrill Peppers, McKinney thrived and ended up having the third-most total tackles on the team. - The Giants may have found themselves a gem in McKinney when they took him in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft. While the team’s new general manager Joe Schoen reshapes the roster, McKinney certainly has value for the Giants’ in the future. - - List - - Under-the-radar free agents Giants could target - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

PFF names DE Jacob Martin the 'perfect free agent match' for Giants / The New York Giants won’t have much

PFF names DE Jacob Martin the 'perfect free agent match' for Giants / The New York Giants won’t have much to spend when free agency begins on March 16, so they’ll be bargain bin shopping. - With cap space at a premium, the Giants are likely to target lower-end players with a higher upside. Maybe those are players coming off of injury, younger players who haven’t realized their potential or veterans whose careers are winding down. - One younger player with a potentially high update is defensive end Jacob Martin, who was recently named a “perfect free agent” match for the Giants courtesy of Pro Football Focus. - The Giants have several young options on the edge, including 2021 second-round selection Azeez Ojulari, but there’s still a need for more pass-rushing juice. The problem is that New York doesn’t have a lot of cap space to work with, and high-end pass rushers command cap space in free agency. - Martin, 26, could be an under-the-radar signing to help bolster the Giants’ pass rush. Martin is explosive off the ball and does a good job of using his hands to get into the backfield. He is coming off a career-high 38 pressures in the largest role of his career in 2021. - A sixth-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks in 2018, Martin has spent the past three seasons with the Houston Texans. He’s appeared in 61 career games (15 starts), recording 64 tackles (38 solo, 13 for a loss), 24 QB hits, 13.5 sacks, six forced fumbles and four passes defensed. - In 2021, Martin also recorded a career-high 4.0 sacks to go along with a career-high PFF grade of 67.3. - Martin has primarily served as a rotational defensive lineman and would likely fill a similar role with the Giants. And that is precisely the kind of player the team will seek out in free agency, so don’t be surprised if you hear Martin’s name again down the line. - - List - - Under-the-radar free agents Giants could target - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Report: Giants haven't approached Leonard Williams about a restructure, pay cut / The New York Giants and general manager Joe

Report: Giants haven't approached Leonard Williams about a restructure, pay cut / The New York Giants and general manager Joe Schoen have been trimming cap space left and right as the new league year looms. They’ve released several players, reworked the contracts of a few others and had more yet accept outright pay cuts. - But one player they have not approached is defensive lineman Leonard Williams, the team’s highest-paid player. - Matt Lombardo of GMEN HQ was the first to report the news. - The New York Giants have not had any discussions about restructuring defensive lineman Leonard Williams’ contract, league sources tell FanSided. - New Giants general manager Joe Schoen has vowed to create $40 million in new cap space prior to the new league-year beginning on March 16, but to date, Williams has not been part of those discussions. - The Giants signed Williams to a three-year, $63 million contract last offseason. That included a whopping $45 million in guarantees and a signing bonus of $22.5 million. - In 2021, Williams is slated to count for $27.3 million against the cap. A pre-June 1 release would actually cost the Giants even more against the cap, while a post-June 1 cut would net the team $0. Needless to say, there is precious little wiggle room when it comes to The Big Cat’s salary. - A pay cut or restructure would be the only way to recoup anything currently slated to be invested in Williams, but he’d have no motivation to agree to either. So unless the Giants find themselves in an absolutely desperate situation, do not anticipate many (if any) changes to Williams’ deal. - - List - - Under-the-radar free agents Giants could target - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Is Jabrill Peppers still in play for Giants? / When Jabrill Peppers went down with a torn ACL during the 2021 season, many tabbed that as his final game in a New York Giants uniform. - Peppers was, of course, acquired in the infamous Odell Beckham Jr. trade that brought the safety to New Jersey to play in his home state. - As general manager Joe Schoen continues to evaluate the Giants roster, including the pending free agents, many believe that Big Blue will ultimately let Peppers walk. However, as Peppers continues to rehab to get back from injury, he may be taking advantage of his time at the team facility as he gets to know the new GM and coaching staff. - - I'm told Jabrill Peppers has made frequent stops in #Giants facility as he continues his ACL rehab. Just a nugget I've heard. Doesn't mean he will re-sign, but suggests he hasn't cut ties and has gotten to know new staff. Once free agency opens, injured players stop coming in. - — Ryan Dunleavy (@rydunleavy) March 11, 2022 - - - Peppers is still technically a part of the Giants roster until free agency starts on March 16th, when the NFL’s new league year begins. - Like Peppers, Sterling Shepard was another player many tabbed to be let go this offseason. Shepard wasn’t due to become a free agent but given his contract and the Giants’ salary cap crunch, the receiver seemed to be an inevitable cap casualty. - However, when asked to rework his contract, the Giants’ longest-tenured player agreed to a pay cut this past week. After Shepard’s Achilles injury at the end of the season, his value on the open market likely went down, which could have factor into his though process to take a pay cut. - With Peppers having an injury just as severe, there is a possibility for him to sign a one-year “prove it” deal to stay with his hometown Giants and to get better value on the market next offseason. - As free agency nears, so does the Giants’ decision on Peppers. With the emergence of Xavier McKinney, the team may elect to let Peppers walk. However, there may also be value in his leadership and keeping arguably the team’s strongest and deepest unit, the defensive backfield, together going into 2022. - - List - - Under-the-radar free agents Giants could target - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An

Should Giants consider Colin Kaepernick as a backup to Daniel Jones? / - - - The New York Giants aren’t likely to exercise quarterback Daniel Jones’ fifth-year option this spring and that has led to speculation on whether or not they are souring on their former first-round pick. - What the Giants are expected to do however, is bring in competition this summer in the form of free agents (Mitchell Trubisky, Cam Newton have been rumored) and/or a possible high draft pick to challenge Jones, who has yet to convince the masses that he is a franchise quarterback. - One interesting option on the free agent market is — wait for it — Colin Kaepernick, who is said to be working out again and is in “the best shape of his life.” - - Colin Kaepernick is still working out and is said to be, in the words of one source, “in the best shape of his life. He wants to play. He’s ready play. He would be a great fit for teams with QB vacancies to fill who want to win a Super Bowl.” https://t.co/VAXfKlZ6E4 - — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 10, 2022 - - - It’s unlikely the Giants would entertain Kaepernick as an option, even as a backup, for several reasons. - The fan base would reject the idea. Even though it’s been five years since Kaepernick set off a maelstrom in the NFL (and the country) by kneeling during the National Anthem before games, his name will be eternally connected to the controversy. - Second, CEO John Mara wasn’t on board then and isn’t likely to have softened much to the idea over time. - “All my years being in the league, I never received more emotional mail from people than I did about that issue,” Mara said back in 2017. “If any of your players ever do that, we are never coming to another Giants game. It wasn’t one or two letters. It was a lot. It’s an emotional, emotional issue for a lot of people, more so than any other issue I’ve run into.” - The controversy would be the last thing this floundering franchise needs. They need to get back to basics, fly under the radar and turn their listing ship around. Kaepernick’s presence would be a major distraction on many fronts. - Then there’s the issue of rust. The 34-year-old Kaepernick may be in great shape but he’s been out of football since 2016. There’s shape and then there’s football shape. Plus, how would he react to being a backup? He clearly wants to be a starter or nothing. - Finally, the financial cost would be too high. Kaepernick is a businessman and won’t come cheap. He has turned down some lucrative offers in the past and isn’t likely to take a low-level deal simply to gat back into the league. - Will a NFL team sign Colin Kaepernick? - Powered By PickUp - - List

Giants address multiple needs in latest three-round Draft Wire mock / - - - Mock draft season has now gone into overdrive with projections and prognostications coming from every direction. That includes from our friends over at Draft Wire, who recently released their post-combine three-round mock. - At No. 5 overall, the Giants miss out on North Carolina State offensive lineman Ikem Ekwonu, who goes first overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars. But that doesn’t sting too bad as Big Blue gets a solid consolation prize: Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal. - The Giants have bigger needs on defense, but it’s hard to pass up a franchise tackle, especially when one as talented as Neal falls into your lap. A massive mauler with rare athleticism for his size, Neal would pair up with Andrew Thomas to give the Giants a talented young tandem to protect Daniel Jones. - The Giants have no bigger needs than along the offensive line. Sure, they have some areas of concern defensively, but they’ll enter the new league year in search of four new starters along the O-Line. And Neal, once a consensus No. 1 overall pick, is about as good as it gets. - And the real bonus? The Giants address their defense and their need for an edge rusher just two picks later, snagging Jermaine Johnson II from Florida State. - After addressing their biggest need on offense at No. 5, the Giants do the same on the other side of the ball with this pick. Johnson backed up his impressive film with a dominant week at the Senior Bowl, followed by a strong showing the combine that should put him in the top-10 conversation. - Making the pick of Johnson look even better is what the Giants do at No. 36 overall. Still in need of talented defenders, Draft Wire has the Giants landing Alabama linebacker Christian Harris. - 36. New York Giants | Alabama LB Christian Harris - Now we’re talking. - With their next two picks — each in the third round — the Giants land a new starting tight end and some depth at wide receiver. - 67. New York Giants | Coastal Carolina TE Isaiah Likely - 81. New York Giants (from MIA) | Boise State WR Khalil Shakir - The argument can most certainly be made that the Giants should have sought out a guard with one of their third-round picks, but Isaiah Likely is a potential steal and long-term starter, while Khalil Shakir gives Brian Daboll a little more to work with offensively.

Giants a possible landing spot for Cam Newton? / - - - The New York Giants have once again hitched their wagon to quarterback Daniel Jones, but newly hired general manager Joe Schoen has made it clear the backup position will be addressed this offseason. - “I think backup quarterback is one of the more important positions in the league, so it’s something we’re going to look at, and we’re going to address,” Schoen said at the NFL Combine. “But it’s not just quarterback. I think building depth is going to be a priority. It might be a little bit hard early on, but you can continue to build the team up over the years.” - One potential backup quarterback the Giants have been linked to is Mitchell Trubisky, who has a familiarity with both Brian Daboll and Schoen from their time in Buffalo. However, Trubisky is among the hottest names on the impending free agent market and some believe he’ll get paid starter money. - If that turns out to be the case, the Giants will be priced out of Trubisky’s market and thrust back into the hunt for a backup. - One potential alternative option, as it turns out, is former Carolina Panthers and New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton. - Panthers beat writer Sheena Quick was the first to report the news. - - I’m being told that NYG is a possible landing spot for Cam Newton. However, it’s still early. - — Sheena Quick (@Sheena_Marie3) March 9, 2022 - - - The 32-year-old Newton was the first overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft. He spent nine seasons with the Panthers before joining the Patriots in 2020. He returned to Carolina this past season, but is expected to become an unrestricted free agent on March 16. - In 148 career games (144 starts), Newton has completed under 60% of his passes for 32,382 yards, 194 touchdowns and 123 interceptions. He’s also rushed the ball 1,118 times for 5,628 yards and 75 touchdowns. - If the smoke around Newton proves to be accurate and he’s willing to take backup money, he would be a solid veteran option for the Giants. He would provide them stability behind the oft-injured Jones and give the team an opportunity to compete if Jones missed any significant time. - Cam Newton to Giants this offseason? - Powered By PickUp - - List - - Under-the-radar free agents Giants could target - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning -

If Giants request arbitration, Brian Flores wants it to be denied / - - - The Miami Dolphins

If Giants request arbitration, Brian Flores wants it to be denied / - - - The Miami Dolphins have requested an arbitration hearing regarding the lawsuit filed by Brian Flores, which alleges systemic racism and discrimination across the NFL. The lawsuit also targets the New York Giants, Denver Broncos and several other NFL teams. - But Flores and his attorneys are not interested in arbitration. They’ve asked that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell deny Miami’s request and that any requests from the Giants and Broncos for arbitration also be denied. - “Arbitration is not transparent,” attorney Douglas H. Wigdor wrote in his letter. “Indeed, arbitration is by its very nature a secretive process that takes place behind closed doors and outside of the public eye. The lack of transparency in arbitration only serves to continue the status quo-which in this case, is one that you have conceded must be fairly evaluated and potentially overhauled. That cannot happen in arbitration. In addition to being secret and confidential, it is a well-accepted fact that arbitration presents a barrier to justice for victims of discrimination and other misconduct.” - Flores, who was hired as an assistant with the Pittsburgh Steelers last month, was fired by the Dolphins following the 2021 regular season. He then interviewed with the Giants and Houston Texans for their head coaching jobs but was ultimately passed over for both. - The Broncos also interviewed Flores in 2019. - The Giants considered Flores one of their top two options, but after an unfortunate text exchange with New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, Flores opted to file a lawsuit against New York before the interview process had even concluded. - “The claims that we filed involve important issues of systemic race discrimination and the integrity of NFL football games,” Flores said in a statement provided by his lawyer. - The Giants have emphatically denied Flores’ allegations, while the NFL maintains the lawsuit is “without merit.” - “Race discrimination cannot be eradicated behind closed doors and the integrity of the game depends on transparency,” Wigdor added in his letter. - It is unclear if the Giants intend to request an arbitration hearing. - - RelatedBrian Flores claims Bill Belichick influenced Giants' coaching decisionGiants say Brian Flores accusations are 'disturbing and simply false'Nate Solder has Brian Flores' back in lawsuit against Giants, NFL - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing

Eagles' Jason Kelce: MetLife is among NFL's worst stadiums / - - - MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Giants and Jets, opened in 2010 and is never mentioned on anyone’s list of favorite sports venues. - The drab, utilitarian confines perhaps get a bad name because it has been the backdrop of one of New York’s worst decades of football. Only two postseason games have been played there — one by the Giants in 2012 and Super Bowl XLVII, which was played by the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos. - The traffic and the public transit access are two other knocks on the venue by fans but players hate it, too. - Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce explains why he rates MetLife his least favorite stadium (“hands down, not even close”). - “It’s a terrible surface,” Kelce said during an appearance on Today’s 94WIP Morning Show. “I’m surprised the league hasn’t stepped in at this point. But I think it’s really bad. There’s a higher injury rate on that surface for years now. I don’t know if it’s because there’s two teams playing on it or what’s going on there but it’s easily the least favorite.” - Kelce is not dreaming.

Giants select defensive end, wide receiver in latest Todd McShay mock draft / - - - The New

Giants select defensive end, wide receiver in latest Todd McShay mock draft / - - - The New York Giants need offensive linemen. Several of them. But in the latest mock draft courtesy of ESPN’s Todd McShay — which comes after the NFL Combine and several big-name trades — general manager Joe Schoen ignores the position outright. - With Ikem Ekwonu and Evan Neal going off the board just ahead of them (No. 3 and No. 4), McShay has the Giants pivoting and addressing their other major need: pass rush. - With the No. 5 overall pick, the Giants select combine standout and Georgia defensive end Travon Walker. - The Giants generated just 34 sacks (tied for 22nd) last season, and while Walker didn’t pile on the QB hits at Georgia (six sacks and 29 pressures last season), he was asked to do a lot of different things in a Bulldogs’ front seven that presents three other likely first-rounders. The 272-pound Walker had a terrific workout in Indy, running a 4.51-second 40 and 6.89-second three-cone drill. Few players I’ve ever evaluated can generate the power he does from the ground up, and that was on display with a 35½-inch vertical and 10-foot-3 broad jump. Teamed up with Leonard Williams and Azeez Ojulari, Walker will only continue to develop while giving the Giants a dynamic edge rusher to spark the defense. - Walker would certainly provide the Giants with a premiere edge rusher who will start on Day 1. But it leaves them empty along the offensive line, so naturally they address that with their next pick, right? Wrong. - Rather than taking someone like Trevor Penning — and having missed out on Charles Cross (gone at No. 7) — the Giants instead add yet another skill position player. This time, Ohio State wide receiver Garrett Wilson. - Kenny Golladay led the Giants in receiving last season with just 521 yards. Evan Engram led the team in catches with all of 46, and he’s headed to free agency. The next two on the list were running backs. And Sterling Shepard and Kadarius Toney each struggled to stay healthy. You get the point. With the top three linemen in the class off the board already, new GM Joe Schoen and new coach Brian Daboll can get quarterback Daniel Jones help in another fashion. Wilson has elite body control, 4.38 speed and a big catch radius. New York can walk away happy on Day 1 with exciting new players on defense (Travon Walker) and offense (Wilson). - Walker and Wilson are quality picks, but it leaves the Giants’ offense in the exact same position it was a year ago. And unless the team can find several legitimate O-Line starters in the middle rounds, Wilson will struggle to produce in much the same way Golladay, Toney, Shepard and others did in 2021. - - List - - Under-the-radar free agents Giants could target - - - -

Mitchell Trubisky praises Giants coach Brian Daboll / - - - The New York Giants are rumored to

Mitchell Trubisky praises Giants coach Brian Daboll / - - - The New York Giants are rumored to be contemplating signing quarterback Mitchell Trubisky in free agency, not just as a backup for Daniel Jones but perhaps as a possible successor. - The Giants have tentatively put their chips on Jones, who is entering his fourth season with the club, but are unlikely to exercise Jones’ fifth-year option this spring. - That leaves the Giants’ long-term quarterback plans in a lurch and the possibilities are beginning to emerge. Jones has been often injured and wildly inconsistent but many believe the infrastructure in which he’s had to operate is the main culprit for his failures. - The new regime in East Rutherford wants to see if that is actually the case or if Jones is part of the problem or part of the solution. They’ll have to hedge that bet with a viable alternative. Enter Trubisky, a former first-round NFL pick who has also had a rocky ride since being selected second overall by the Chicago Bears in 2017. - Trubisky left Chicago after four seasons and found a home in Buffalo last year backing up Josh Allen. He is an impending free agent again and the best fit for him is possibly with his Buffalo offensive coordinator, Brian Daboll, who is now the head coach of the Giants. - Trubisky told ESPN’s Adam Schefter in a recent podcast that he learned a lot from Daboll and that he enjoyed his time with Allen and the rest of the quarterback room. That also consisted of Davis Webb and quarterback coach Shea Tierney, who are both now with the Giants. - Trubisky was asked his impression of the Giants’ offense with those new faces running the show. - “I think of Coach Daboll right away just because of my connection with him right away in Buffalo,” Trubisky said. “I’m excited to see what he does in New York. I don’t know where I’m gonna go, but I know whatever he does there he’s going to do a great job with that offense. He’s a great leader of men. He’s real and authentic with all the guys and I think that’s why so many people respected him in our building. I’m excited to see what he’s going to do. - “And then of course, New York, you think of the city. I haven’t been to New York many times but you think of big New York City and the Giants. I know coach Daboll will do a great job and I’m excited to see that offense.” - Many hear Trubisky’s name and cringe. His tenure in Chicago was seen as an overall failure and did not live up to his draft stature. The reality is, it wasn’t as bad as one might think. - Trubisky has a 29-21 record as an NFL starter (by contrast, Jones is 12-26) and was actually named to the Pro Bowl in 2018. Trubisky also holds

Evan Engram likely being priced out of Giants' market / - - - The New York Giants did not use their franchise tag on Evan Engram, but multiple teams around the league did designate their tight ends as franchise players. - David Njoku, Mike Gesicki and Dalton Schultz were all slapped with the franchise tag and that will have a ripple effect on the position. One that will likely impact both the Giants and Engram. - The Giants have informed Engram that they’d like to bring him back but there is one caveat. It would have to come at a team-friendly price. - - On a side note: If all the TEs I mentioned here do get the "franchise tag", you know who will suddenly vault to near the head of the class? - Evan Engram. - The Giants told his reps they'd like to keep him at the right price, but they can't afford what his price is going to be. https://t.co/WusUOvNa0C - — Ralph Vacchiano (@RVacchianoSNY) March 7, 2022 - - - Given the franchise tag value for tight ends ($10.931 million) and what’s likely to be available on the market, Engram is in line for a potentially substantial pay day. In fact, he appeared to recognize that reality on Tuesday amidst the wave of franchise designations. - - - — Evan Engram (@eazyengram) March 8, 2022 - - - Some Giants fans may scoff at the notion Engram will get paid, but his athleticism and talent are undeniable. He may have some consistency issues, but that’s nothing a change of scenery can’t potentially correct. - “Evan has the chance to be a top tight end but he has to focus on some key fundamentals,” an NFC offensive coach tells FanSided. “He needs to refine details like catch fundamentals, battling for contested catches, and Yards after The Catch. He can do all of those things, but that’s what made him special early in his career.” - Engram is younger than Rob Gronkowski and Zach Ertz, more of a mismatch threat than Eric Ebron, and more productive than Robert Tonyan and O.J. Howard. He’s going to get paid. And probably a lot more than the Giants would be willing to or could afford.

Mitchell Trubisky to Giants gaining more and more steam / - - - Are the New York Giants going to overpay for a backup quarterback? Are they going to spend upwards of $20 million at the position despite being over the salary cap a week prior to the new league year? - You wouldn’t think the answer to either of those questions would be “yes,” but the idea of Mitchell Trubisky landing in East Rutherford is beginning to smoke like a chimney. - Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports has been checking in on the Trubisky rumors and found a team who genuinely believes he’ll end up with the Giants. - - Quick note on a QB not named Wilson or Rodgers: Spoke to a team in the thick of it for a competitive backup QB in free agency, and they have a strong belief that Mitchell Trubisky is going to end up with the New York Giants and competing with Daniel Jones for the starting job. - — Charles Robinson (@CharlesRobinson) March 8, 2022 - - - It’s just one team and for now, they’ll remain anonymous. However, there seems to be a growing sentiment that general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll will hedge their bets with a guy they’re familiar with — it’s all about that trust factor. - Still, it’s important to remember that it’s lying season in the NFL. With free agency a week away and team’s desperate to get the most out of the NFL draft in April, stories will be planted all over. Some of it is genuine, but much of it is not. - That’s not to say the Trubisky rumors lack substance. There’s a lot of smoke there and the connections dating back to Buffalo are obvious. Still, it all boils down to salary cap space plus need versus value. The Giants have a ton of needs and adding a high-priced backup isn’t necessarily solving any of those problems. - Will NY Giants sign Mitch Trubisky? - Powered By PickUp - - List - - Under-the-radar free agents Giants could target - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants guards were worse than you thought in 2021 / - - - The New York Giants are

Giants guards were worse than you thought in 2021 / - - - The New York Giants are seeking a starting right tackle this offseason, and with the fifth and seventh overall selections in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft, they’ll likely find one. - But right tackle isn’t New York’s only gaping hole on the offensive line. They actually have three others — both guard positions and center. - Come the new league year in eight days, the Giants will only have two guards under contract that are healthy (Ben Bredeson, Wes Martin) and two receiving from serious injuries (Nick Gates, Shane Lemieux). - Understandably, the Giants will be in the market for replacements and upgrades, especially considering the rancid performance of the unit last season. - - Every single player that suited up at guard for the Giants this year (besides Shane Lemieux & Nick Gates) averaged 2 pressures per game allowed per PFF (Ben Bredeson, Matt Skura, Wes Martin, Will Hernandez). - — Justin Penik (@JustinPenik) March 7, 2022 - - - The Giants also don’t have a center under contract other than Gates, and he is coming off a fractured leg that may keep him sidelined for some time, if not for posterity. That is unfortunate for him and the Giants as he was developing into a leader up front on offense. - So, that leaves the Giants looking for guards and a center on the open market. Some names to look out for are Ike Boettger, James Daniels, Connor Williams, Nate Herbig and Austin Corbett among others. Centers on the market that could interest the Giants are Mason Cole, Ryan Jensen, Bradley Bozeman and Trystan Colon-Castillo. - The Giants could be on the outside looking in on a lot of these players due to salary cap constraints which would mean they have to snag one or two in the draft. - - List - - Making the case for and against the Giants trading Saquon Barkley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants looking for returner upgrades this offseason? / - - - The New York Giants have a lengthy to-do list this offseason, beginning with their quest to clear upwards of $40 million in salary cap space. - Once general manager Joe Schoen accomplishes that feat, the focus shifts to repairing a damaged roster. Not only do the Giants need as many as four new offensive linemen, they also need an edge rusher, inside linebacker, tight end, running back, backup quarterback and potentially a new cornerback. - But there are apparently other aspects of their roster they also wish to address. - Mike Kaye of Pro Football Network suggests the Giants will also seek to upgrade their return men this offseason — something that makes sense when considering Jabrill Peppers is likely to depart via free agency. - While the whispers out of Indianapolis were few and far between last week, one thing is for certain: Teams are realizing they need to invest in special teams. Specifically, several franchises are looking for upgrades at the returner spots, a league source told Pro Football Network on Monday. - “Field position is certainly a point of emphasis from what I’m seeing,” the source told PFN. - The New York Giants, Miami Dolphins, and San Francisco 49ers are all under new or slightly altered regimes. And all three teams are expected to show significant interest in the returner market. - The Giants did have one of the best special teams units in the league under Thomas McGaughey a season ago, but their return game struggled at times. They were 22nd in yards per kick return (20.7), 23rd in yards per punt return (7.6) and dead last in all-purpose return yards. - It stands to reason the Giants will look to upgrade their returners, but how much cap space they clear will determine if they can compete at the top of the market. - - RelatedEagles' Howie Roseman not pleased with losing Brandon Brown to GiantsGiants likely to be 'in the mix' for Mitchell TrubiskyReport: Patrick Graham bolted for Vegas because he was upset with Giants - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Report: Giants want to keep Blake Martinez, rework his contract / - - - The New York Giants have several key decisions that must be made in the coming days. Among them is a determination on the immediate future of linebacker Blake Martinez. - Martinez, who missed much of last season due to a torn ACL, is due $8.425 million in 2022 and accounts for a cap hit of $14.025 million. That’s obviously too steep a price for the Giants, so some maneuvering must be done. - An outright release would cost the Giants $5.5 million in dead cap and create another hole at middle linebacker. They obviously hope to avoid that and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports that the team will attempt to rework Martinez’s contract to keep him in East Rutherford. - - #Giants LB Blake Martinez is a player to watch over the next week. Due $8.525 million this season (cap number: $14.025m) and coming off a torn ACL. Team is interested in retaining him but trying to rework his deal, sources say. Resolution has to work for both sides. We'll see. - — Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) March 7, 2022 - - - The Giants have asked wide receiver Sterling Shepard to take a pay cut and other similar requests are expected, but perhaps an extension for Martinez is what’s in line. - In addition to Martinez, the Giants also have a decision to make on impending free agent tight end Evan Engram. However, with big-money franchise tags being handed down on other tight ends around the league, Engram may find himself priced out of the Giants’ range. - - On a side note: If all the TEs I mentioned here do get the "franchise tag", you know who will suddenly vault to near the head of the class? - Evan Engram. - The Giants told his reps they'd like to keep him at the right price, but they can't afford what his price is going to be. https://t.co/WusUOvNa0C - — Ralph Vacchiano (@RVacchianoSNY) March 7, 2022 - - - The Giants and newly hired general manager Joe Schoen only have so much to work with, so some losses are to be expected.

Eagles' Howie Roseman not pleased with losing Brandon Brown to Giants / - - - One way NFL teams can better their lot is by poaching away talent from other franchises, especially from the franchises in their own division. - Over the years, it’s happened to New York Giants and now they are beginning to fight back. This past offseason, they managed to pry Brandon Brown — a rising star in their front office — away to become new general manager Joe Schoen’s assistant. - The 33-year-old Brown was hired by the rival Philadelphia Eagles in 2017 as an assistant director of pro scouting. He was promoted to the director of pro scouting in 2019 and then ascended to the title of director of player personnel in 2021. - The Giants’ hiring of Brown did not sit well with Philly general manager Howie Roseman, reports Dan Duggan of The Athletic. - Roseman didn’t want to lose director of player personnel Brandon Brown and particularly didn’t want to lose Brown to the Giants. And Roseman really didn’t want to lose Brown to the Giants just before free agency and the draft. - But Roseman couldn’t stop Brown from departing because he was hired as the Giants’ assistant general manager. That position is viewed as a promotion from other front-office roles, so teams can’t block those moves. - It is unusual for this type of hire to happen before the NFL draft in April. Brown is now in the unique position to help the Giants in multiple ways. He will provide his insight on personnel for his new team while instead of his old one who were also relying on his expertise. - Brown will also give the Giants some intel on what the Eagles are thinking this spring. - “It’s hard for me because you see these guys and they have an opportunity to kind of help themselves and their families,” Roseman said. “But at the same time, it doesn’t really help the Eagles. Especially the timing of this, which I think it’s something maybe that we have to talk about going forward, about losing guys during this draft process, especially in your conference, one in your division. That’s not ideal.” - The new structure here with the Giants appears to be on solid footing after years of Dave Gettleman’s mismanagement. - Plus, ticking the Eagles off is always an added bonus. - - List - - Making the case for and against the Giants trading Saquon Barkley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories

Could Giants trade up for a shot at Ikem Ekwonu? / - - - Leading up to the 2022 NFL Combine, many mock drafts had the New York Giants landing North Carolina State offensive lineman Ikem Ekwonu with the No. 5 overall pick. - However, Ekwonu was viewed as one of the combine’s biggest winners. That’s significant because his stock had already begun to rise prior to testing. - With Ekwonu’s value now hot to the touch, many are beginning to wonder if he’ll even slip past the Jacksonville Jaguars, who hold the No. 1 overall pick. And if he does, how much farther will he fall? - ESPN’s Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler postulate that the Giants are aware of Ekwonu ascension and may even consider trading up to select him. Assuming, of course, he does slip by the Jags. - The draft is believed to be loaded with top offensive line prospects, and two teams I expect to consider linemen with high first-round picks are the Panthers at No. 6 and the New York Giants, who hold picks Nos. 5 and 7. - If NC State’s Ikem Ekwonu isn’t the No. 1 overall pick, I believe he’ll be of interest especially to the Giants, who could take him at No. 5 or even move up a spot or two to get him if that’s what it takes. - The issue facing the Giants in this scenario is that there are other teams ahead of them also targeting the top linemen. - In addition to the Jaguars, the Houston Texans (No. 3 overall) are a near lock to draft an offensive lineman. The New York Jets (No. 4 overall) also need line help, although they may be more focused on guards than tackles. - Either way, having Ekwonu slip past both the Jags and Texans seems highly unlikely at this point. The same applies to Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal, who will likely go opposite Ekwonu at either No. 1 or No. 3. - If one does begin to slide, it’ll be interesting to see what the Giants and general manager Joe Schoen do and how much (if anything) they’d be willing to part with in order to move up. - - List - - Making the case for and against the Giants trading Saquon Barkley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - -

Giants likely to be 'in the mix' for Mitchell Trubisky / - - - The New York Giants appear locked in on Daniel Jones starting at quarterback in 2022, but they’ve publicly acknowledged a desire to beef up their reserves. - One potential option is Mitchell Trubisky, a 1b to Jones dating back to their days at North Carolina and Duke, respectively. However, Trubisky is gaining momentum as the new league year approaches and could be a hot commodity once free agency officially begins. - Given the Giants’ desperate need to trim salary cap space, it seems unlikely they’d engage in some sort of bidding war for a backup. Yet, that’s precisely what may happen. - ESPN’s Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler report that the Giants are among the teams who are believed to be “in the mix” to sign Trubisky, joining the Carolina Panthers, Washington Commanders and others. - Mitchell Trubisky: Teams are openly discussing whether Trubisky gets $10 million or more annually on a new deal. That his name is a hot one is not manufactured. It’s real. His career reset in Buffalo went very well, and teams that will look to draft a quarterback could sign Trubisky to start this year. A Trubisky pairing with a first-round quarterback such as Malik Willis wouldn’t shock a few teams. The Panthers, Steelers, Commanders, Giants and potential Broncos are believed to be in the mix here. - With a potential deal of $10 million annually, that would put the Giants in a position where they’re paying two quarterbacks starting money. That would be a steep price for Trubisky to sit on the bench. And if you believe he’d beat out Jones, that would leave nearly $8.4 million (cap hit) sitting on the bench. - That’s not a realistic scenario for general manager Joe Schoen and the Giants. They don’t have that sort of money to play with and investing it into two quarterbacks and not the offensive line would be unimaginably wasteful. - Ultimately, expect the Giants to poke around Trubisky a bit before the other teams become more serious. At that point, they’ll go off in search of Jones’ backup elsewhere. - Will NY Giants sign Mitch Trubisky? - Powered By PickUp - - RelatedCould Cole Beasley become a Giants trade target?Bradley Bozeman named a free agent fit for GiantsEx-Giant B.J.

Report: Patrick Graham bolted for Vegas because he was upset with Giants / - - - Shortly after

Report: Patrick Graham bolted for Vegas because he was upset with Giants / - - - Shortly after the New York Giants hired Brian Daboll as their next head coach, he revealed expectations that Patrick Graham would return as defensive coordinator. - Graham had worked with Daboll in the past and is well-respected throughout the Giants’ organization, so the assertion made sense. To everyone except for Graham himself, that is. - Rather than staying with the Giants, Graham took off for Las Vegas, joining Josh McDaniels’ Raiders’ staff. And he did so silently. - As it turns out, there was a specific reason for that. Or reasons, as it were. - Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports that Graham’s decision to bolt for Vegas was spurred on by several events that troubled him. Primarily, the team’s decision to fire his close personal friend, Joe Judge, after promising him patience. - So why did Graham bolt for Vegas? A source said multiple factors rubbed Graham the wrong way, particularly the way his close friend Judge was fired after two years by owners who promised to be patient with the young coach. - Graham was the defensive line coach on Ben McAdoo’s staff, so he has now witnessed the Giants fire two head coaches within two years. - That wasn’t the only thing that didn’t sit well with Graham. He was also bothered by the Brian Flores lawsuit, which alleged racial bias in the Giants’ hiring practices, and the proposed timeline of events. - Aspects of Flores’ lawsuit didn’t sit well with Graham, particularly the timeline of some of the actions by ownership and front office members who were included in the complaint, according to the source. - As the late, great Billy Mays would say, “but wait, there’s more!” - Finally, Graham was troubled by the Giants’ decision to publicly announce that he was expected to return prior to him completing his interview cycle with the Minnesota Vikings. - And Graham also didn’t like when Daboll and Schoen announced that he would be back before he interviewed for the Vikings job, the source said. - So with all of those issues festering, Graham left to join another former Patriots assistant, Josh McDaniels, in Las Vegas. Graham was under contract with the Giants, but it obviously wouldn’t have been good for the new staff’s chemistry to force an unhappy coach to stay. - Once upon a time, Graham said coaching the Giants’ defense was his “dream job.” He even turned down head coaching opportunities so he could remain in East Rutherford. But as each domino fell this offseason, Graham fell more and more out of love with the organization, and more bothered by several of the ongoings. - Graham has not yet commented publicly about his Giants exit, but we should expect to hear about it at some point soon. - - List - - Making the case for and against the Giants trading Saquon Barkley -

Could Cole Beasley become a Giants trade target? / The New York Giants will almost certainly explore the trade market

Could Cole Beasley become a Giants trade target? / The New York Giants will almost certainly explore the trade market this offseason, but the idea will be to trade away high-priced players to free up a bit of cap space. - However, general manager Joe Schoen cautions that he’s open to just about everything. And that could include acquiring players via trade as well. - Although far more unlikely than, say, shipping cornerback James Bradberry off for some addition draft assets, the Giants could also rely on the trade market to help restock their depleted roster. And with Sterling Shepard recently asked to take a pay cut and Darius Slayton a potential cap casualty, might New York look at the trade market for wide receiver reinforcements? - Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley recently requested a trade and reuniting with Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll makes some sense. - “The dude’s an incredible coach, probably the best OC I’ve ever played for — not just schematically but as a person, too,” Beasley once said of Daboll. “The mentality he brings to the offense is incredible. He’s just like one of the dogs out there, too. He thinks that way. Any time you’ve got a guy like that leading you it makes it fun to go play.” - Daboll often shared praise for Beasley throughout their time in Buffalo as well. - But the problem with Beasley is obvious: he’s due a salary of $4.9 million in 2022, and that accounts for a total cap hit of $7.6 million. So when considering that Slayton might be a cap casualty at a cap hit of just $2.6 million, it’s hard to envision a scenario in which the Giants take on an additional $5 million for Beasley. - If the Bills can’t find a trade partner for Beasley, it’s possible they end up releasing him outright. In that scenario, perhaps the Giants swoop in and the two can make a deal — after all, Beasley said last season he’s no longer playing football for the money. - The 32-year-old Beasley has appeared in 149 career regular season games (50 starts), hauling in 550 receptions for 5,709 yards and 34 touchdowns. He can also serve as a punt returner. - - List - - Making the case for and against the Giants trading Saquon Barkley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. -

Report: Saquon Barkely prefers to stay with Giants / The rumors of a possible trade of New York Giants running

Report: Saquon Barkely prefers to stay with Giants / The rumors of a possible trade of New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley have been running rampant this offseason. - The Giants are in cost-cutting mode right now, as they are still approximately $6 to $7 million over the salary cap with less than two weeks remaining before the new NFL fiscal year begins. - Barkley is scheduled to make $7.2 million this coming season and the Giants can only shed his salary via trade. The team has indicated it will deal him if the right offer comes along. - But what does Barkley want to do? According to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, he would like to stay with the Giants — and he just might get his wish, as the Giants want a lot in return for him and there’s been no offers of worth floated their way thus far. - - Saquon Barkley wants to stay and #Giants need to be blown away to trade him, sources say. “If he was traded to a team with just a decent offensive line,” one NFL coach said, “he could make them really regret it.” https://t.co/nTcU8zcn1v #nyg - — Ryan Dunleavy (@rydunleavy) March 5, 2022 - - - True, Barkley could make the Giants regret trading him away should he land in the right spot, but where would that be? - Most teams use a running-back-by-committee approach, and the teams that don’t have a bellcow back already. Also, most teams don’t have the appetite to spend $7.2 million on a part-time running back, on top of having to trade for that player as well. - - RelatedReport: Sterling Shepard open to pay cut in order to remain with GiantsGiants' James Bradberry expected to draw significant trade interestGiants gave Kayvon Thibodeaux a 'hard time' during combine interview - - List - - Making the case for and against the Giants trading Saquon Barkley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' James Bradberry expected to draw significant trade interest / Although the New York Giants are open to potentially trading running back Saquon Barkley, it’s unlikely to pan out. The same can not be said for cornerback James Bradberry, however. - While at the 2022 NFL Combine in Indianapolis, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network stated that teams are expected to call the Giants and inquire about Bradberry’s availability. - Hint: He’ll be available. - - From NFL Now: While the #Giants aren't expected to trade Saquon Barkley, CB James Bradberry could be had in a trade. Teams are expected to inquire about the former big ticket FA, who is in the last year of his deal. pic.twitter.com/EoRXfLWwyy - — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 4, 2022 - - - If Bradberry is dealt, the expectations on a return aren’t that high. A mid-round pick — potentially a third — is the likely compensation. - - Surveying sources in Indy, the consensus trade value for James Bradberry is a third-round pick and Saquon Barkley is a fourth-round pick. I'm skeptical that the Giants will pull the trigger on a Saquon trade. - — Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) March 3, 2022 - - - Bradberry has a $21.86 million cap hit in 2022, and will cost the Giants $9.7 million in dead cap if he’s released. That release (pre-6/1) would save the team $12.14 million in cap space — space they can use to make other moves in free agency and the NFL Draft. - Bradberry is in the final year of a three-year, $45 million deal he signed before the 2020 season. Given the Giants’ need to create cap space, Bradberry’s days with the organization appear to be numbered. - - List - - Making the case for and against the Giants trading Saquon Barkley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants gave Kayvon Thibodeaux a 'hard time' during combine interview / The New York Giants met with Oregon edge rusher

Giants gave Kayvon Thibodeaux a 'hard time' during combine interview / The New York Giants met with Oregon edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux on Friday at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, and they gave him quite the hard time. - Those aren’t just rumors — those are the exact words used by Thibodeaux to explain the interview. And he wasn’t mad about it. - “I’ve talked to the Giants, we had a great interview,” Thibodeaux said. “They were kind of on me, they were giving me a hard time, but I felt like it was like that big brother moment where they give you a hard time because they’re interested in you and they like you. For me, just showing them that I’m really a guy, I grew up in a big city so a big city is nothing new to me, right?” - Specifically, the Giants pressed Thibodeaux on the difficulties of managing big-market media. In this particular case, the biggest market media with the most influence in the country — the New York media. - “I mean, just giving me a hard time, like when you bring up what’s gonna happen if I’m not the star coming in, five games in if I don’t have a sack this is what they’re going to be talking about,” Thibodeaux said. “The media’s gonna be down on me, everybody’s gonna be — I’m gonna be in the doghouse, how am I gonna handle that?” - It’s a fair question. If the Giants were to select Thibodeaux and he doesn’t make an immediate impact, it wouldn’t even take five weeks before he were called a “bust.” Fans should be criticizing general manager Joe Schoen from the armchair and any attempt to defend Thibodeaux would be met with swift judgement. - “I let them know I’ve been in the media since my sophomore year of high school. So I’ve been trained for this my whole life and I know that most of it is entertainment, right? So I’m not really worried because whatever happens between the four walls of the team and the organization is what’s gonna dictate the future and if I have five bad games we’re gonna focus on that next week, how we’re gonna dominate the team that’s next,” he said. - That’s the only correct answer. - Thibodeaux came off really well during his media availability and you can imagine teams felt similarly during their interviews. Whether or not it was enough to sell the Giants, however… Well, that remains to be seen. - - List - - Making the case for and against the Giants trading Saquon Barkley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - -

Report: Giants, Evan Engram haven't closed door on possible return / Are the New York Giants done with tight end

Report: Giants, Evan Engram haven't closed door on possible return / Are the New York Giants done with tight end Evan Engram? After five years of injuries, dropped passes and general inconsistency one would think so. But then again, there’s a new power structure in place and what is old just might be new again. - Engram will be a free agent in two weeks and his market is heating up. He might — and we stress might — be willing to give the Giants a hometown discount if they are interested. - - #Giants and free agent Evan Engram have not closed the door on a return, source says, even as Engram’s versatility builds his market and #nyg look to shed salaries https://t.co/5lIb5ViUFc - — Ryan Dunleavy (@rydunleavy) March 4, 2022 - - - Teams are seeing Engram as a Swiss Army knife-type player and would use him in a variety of roles. - From Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post: - Some teams are preparing to make free-agent pitches to the 6-foot-3, 240-pound Engram that include featuring him as a big-bodied slot receiver, sources informed of the tight-end market told The Post at the NFL combine. The hybrid strategy was theorized throughout Engram’s five seasons with the Giants but never truly enacted because he always was the top option at tight end and because he is determined to live up to the blocking aspects of the job. - More and more offenses are moving away from position-defined players. If receiver Deebo Samuel can have 10 carries in a game, if tight end Travis Kelce can run or throw as a red-zone quarterback, if running back Alvin Kamara can line up at receiver, and if Cordarrelle Patterson can change positions from receiving to running back at age 30, then why not experiment further? - The Giants tried to make Engram more a wide receiver in 2021 (he lined up out wide or in the slot on 61 percent of his snaps) but their offense was such a mess no one really noticed. This year, with Brian Daboll and Mike Kafka in town, things are going to change. - In the end, the cap-strapped Giants could be on the outside looking in on signing Engram , and if they do, it could be a hard sell to the fans who have pretty much written him off as a bust. - - List - - Making the case for and against the Giants trading Saquon Barkley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories

Ian Rapoport: Trade for Giants RB Saquon Barkley seems 'unlikely' / - - - One of the biggest names being talked about as the New York Giants try to work themselves out of salary cap hell while also building for the future is star running back Saquon Barkley. - Barkley has been rumored in trade scenarios since a few weeks into last season. - With the offseason is now upon us, the rumors about Barkley have continued. Whether it was the injuries or the possibility that Barkley has indeed lost a step, the former second overall pick left plenty to be desired last season. - Opinions on trading Barkley have been coming in left and right in the media and from his former teammates. Just last week, Barkley was listed as someone who the Giants should consider trading. - But as the trade rumors surrounding Barkley continue to swirl, NFL Network insider Ian Rappaport is here to pour some cold water on things. - - From NFL Now: The #Giants are open to considering all trades, though a deal for RB Saquon Barkley appears unlikely. pic.twitter.com/RlkRo4R4Gy - — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 1, 2022 - - - “As far as Saquon Barkley, this is the right thing for Joe Schoen. He is the new general manager. He comes from a place in Buffalo where they’re always open to a deal. They’ve done some big trades before,” Rapoport said. - “You mention trading Saquon Barkley and them being open to it. To me, it doesn’t seem realistic. He did not have a great year last year, he was banged up. He’s got a fully guaranteed salary that someone would have to pick up. If you’re the Giants, if you’re going to pay even a little bit of the salary, you might as well see if that player could be very good for you because there is a reason the organization drafted him. - “I don’t see Saquon Barkley being traded. To me, the most likely scenario is him being with the Giants, playing it out and having a decision at the end of next year.” - Giants general manager Joe Schoen made it clear that nobody is off the table in the trade market other than 2021 first-round pick Kadarius Toney. And at this point, it’s hard to determine what Barkley’s trade value would be given his recent injuries and disappointing season last year — some believe it would be mid-round level. - Barkley has been impressed with newly hired head coach Brian Daboll but given the lack of commitment to the run from Buffalo the last few years, it’s hard to gauge where Saquon fits into the future plans for Big Blue. But that seems like something everyone will have to figure out given that Barkley is likely to stay put in East Rutherford. - Will Saquon Barkley be traded this offseason? - Powered By PickUp - - List - - Making the case for

Giants will hold a mandatory minicamp prior to 2022 NFL draft / - - - The New York Giants have welcomed in a new general manager (Joe Schoen) and new head coach (Brian Daboll) and because of that, their offseason workout program will begin a bit earlier this year. - Giants players will return to East Rutherford on April 4 and the team will then conduct a mandatory minicamp one week prior to the 2022 NFL draft, per league rules. - The minicamp will provide Schoen and Daboll their first on-field look at the players they are inheriting, including quarterback Daniel Jones. It will also help them reach a conclusion on Jones’ fifth-year option. - “We haven’t been around him other than a couple weeks,” Schoen told Pro Football Talk. “The advantage that we have is that with Daboll being a new head coach, the players will be in the building on April 4. We’ll get to have a chance to have a minicamp the week before the draft. Again, we’re going to take our time with the process. We’re going to be around Daniel. We’re going to get the chance to see him throw and work with the guys that we have. We don’t have to have a decision until May 2. We’re going to be patient with that decision.” - What’s interesting about the mandatory minicamp is the projection that Jones will participate. He ended last season on injured reserve due to a neck injury and there was no clear timetable on his return. If Jones is able to participate during the minicamp, that’s a very positive step in his recovery. - What Schoen and the Giants expect to see in Jones is the same talent that made him the No. 6 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. - “He does have ability,” Schoen said. “He’s athletic, he’s got good arm strength, he’s played some good football in this league. His makeup is going to allow him to reach whatever his ceiling is. That makes me excited to work with him.” - Jones has made a positive impression early on with Schoen and Daboll, just as he had with Dave Gettleman, Pat Shurmur and Joe Judge before them. - Daboll Year 1: How far will Giants go in 2022? - Powered By PickUp - - RelatedGiants release RB Devontae BookerGiants release TE Kyle RudolphGiants' Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll know extensive O-Line rebuild is necessary - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter

Matt Corral, friend of the Manning family, meets with Giants / - - - The New York Giants are unlikely to select a quarterback with either of their two first-round picks in the 2022 NFL draft, but never say never. - General manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll seem firmly committed to Daniel Jones, but they’re also very open to increasing competition. And they’ve acknowledged that improving the situation behind Jones will be a necessity this offseason. - Accordingly, the Giants will do their due diligence and dig around quarterbacks prospects and potential free agents. In fact, they’ve already begun to do exactly that. - Schoen and Daboll have held informal meetings with several quarterback prospects at the 2022 NFL Combine in Indianapolis, including Matt Corral of Ole Miss. - “Yeah, I had an informal with the Giants (on Tuesday), just talking Xs and Os, them trying to see how much knowledge I have of it,” Corral said during his media availability. “It went really well, I think.” - Corral is not exactly a stranger to the Giants. He’s hovered around their gravitational pull in a “six degrees of Kevin Bacon” sort of way thanks to his relationship with Eli Manning and the Manning family. - “My relationship with Eli, I actually hung out with his family quite a bit, towards the beginning of my career at Ole Miss and toward the end when Arch was visiting and all that,” Corral said. “I was a big part of that, just being around and being around the family, being around Cooper a lot, honestly. The time I had with them that the school recorded us, that was kind of a surprise. I had no idea he was going to be there, so that took me by surprise. It was just really cool to be around a legend like that.” - In addition to the time he’s spent with the Mannings on campus at Ole Miss, Corral has also worked alongside Eli at the Manning Passing Academy. - - Matt Corral and I getting ready to coach them up at the MPA today. How about this kid in the background with no shirt photobombing my picture. pic.twitter.com/1lFPWqDgo9 - — Eli Manning (@EliManning) July 16, 2021 - - - The Giants do have an impressive history with Ole Miss quarterbacks, but that won’t necessarily set the stage for Corral. Nor will his relationship with the Mannings. - Although the Giants themselves have an extra “in” with Corral thanks to the Mannings, that family is also very familiar with and close to Daniel Jones — who played under David Cutcliffe at Duke and was also a regular at the Manning Passing Academy. - - RelatedGiants' Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll know extensive O-Line rebuild is necessaryMel Kiper Jr. says Giants should '100 percent' stick with Daniel JonesBill Barnwell: Giants must decline Daniel Jones' fifth-year option - - - - - -

Giants will heavily rely on analytics, new technology in 2022 / - - - Dating back to the days of Tom Coughlin, the New York Giants have been a bit behind the times as it relates to technology and analytics. There had been some hope things would change under former general manager Dave Gettleman, but that optimism vanished with a laugh. - Renewed hope has now arrived in East Rutherford, however. The newly hired tandem of general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll come from the Buffalo Bills, where “analytics” was more than just the word of the day. - The Giants officially announced the hire of Harvard graduate Cade Knox on Wednesday, giving him the title of offensive quality control coach. He will be in the booth on game day and will have a direct line of communication to Daboll. - “We used that heavily (in Buffalo),” Daboll said, via Giants press release. “It’s a part of the process. It’s a tool to use. As a Harvard graduate who played quarterback and moved to receiver, (Knox) was working in the analytics room. I’d say we have a number of people back there who are highly, highly intelligent in that area who were there before me. I sat down and talked to a variety of them. Cade played quarterback, played receiver, very, very smart, so he’ll be up in the box during the game. He’ll have a headset on. - “You do a lot of planning. (Game management decisions) are not spur of the moment. What we did in Buffalo is similar to what we’ll do here, Friday meetings and Thursday meetings on a lot of different situations and scenarios that come up. You never know when they’re going to come up and you have to make split-second decisions. It’s always good to have a voice that is there with you in the heat of the process when you are doing other things, too. He is an impressive young man.” - But the Giants’ analytical implementation and introduction of new technology will not end there. - In addition to the hiring of Knox and expanding the analytics department, the Giants will focus heavily on updating the outdated technology throughout team facilities in East Rutherford, including MetLife Stadium. - While speaking with John Schmeelk at the NFL Combine earlier this week, Schoen revealed that the Giants are creating a new digital technology called “One Stop Shop.” Essentially, it’s a hub complete with film and evaluation data that allows the organization to keep all information centrally located and accessible with a single touch. - “One Stop Shop” will replace the magnet boards and paper left over from the Gettleman era. - - Joe Schoen on what technology he is adding and what the Giants are going to be using during the draft process pic.twitter.com/Kp446aZGoV - — Justin Penik (@JustinPenik) March 1, 2022 - - - “We’re working on developing a digital draft board right now

Finally my teammates, in my 11 years in this league I'm not sure I've been around a closer group of guys! - — Kyle Rudolph (@KyleRudolph) March 2, 2022 - - - The release of Rudolph was widely expected given Schoen’s desire to clear upwards of $40 million in salary cap space this offseason. - Rudolph agreed to a two-year, $12 million deal last offseason that nearly fell apart after a physical revealed a foot injury requiring surgery. But the Giants stayed true to their handshake agreement and kept Rudolph on that contract. - With less than a month remaining in the 2021 regular season, the Giants were so cash-strapped that they were forced to restructure Rudolph’s deal in an effort to save just $158,000. As a result of those decisions, the current release of Rudolph will cost the Giants $2.4 million in dead cap while saving them just $5 million. - In 16 games (13 starts) with the Giants, Rudolph hauled in 26 receptions for 257 yards and one touchdown. All numbers were near career lows for the 32-year-old. - Will Browns sign Kyle Rudolph? - Powered By PickUp - - RelatedGiants' Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll know extensive O-Line rebuild is necessaryGiants' Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll decline to address Brian Flores lawsuitMel Kiper Jr. says Giants should '100 percent' stick with Daniel Jones - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll know extensive O-Line rebuild is necessary / - - - When general manager

Giants' Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll know extensive O-Line rebuild is necessary / - - - When general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll were hired by the New York Giants, they understood the task at hand. - Imported from the Buffalo Bills, Schoen and Daboll must now turn the tides on a struggling franchise. Once among the most highly respected organizations in football, the Giants of the past decade have been reduced to a punchline. - The 180 certainly won’t come easy or fast, but restoration plans have begun. And step one is obvious to all involved — fixing the offensive line. - “We don’t have very many offensive linemen,” Daboll admitted at the NFL Combine on Tuesday before asking reporters if they wanted to try out. - Schoen tried to color the page with brighter crayons but he, too, acknowledged the team’s dire need for healthy bodies. - “I think we have five healthy offensive linemen right now on the roster,” said Schoen. - The Giants have two first-round picks in the 2022 NFL draft and many anticipate they’ll use one — or both — of those on offensive linemen. However, Schoen stopped short of committing to that, echoing NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah and saying talent can be found in the mid-rounds. - “I think you can find offensive linemen throughout the draft,” Schoen said. “I don’t think you can look at an offensive line and say you have to draft one in the first round. I think you can find offensive linemen throughout the draft.” - And what, specifically, is Schoen looking for in the hog mollies? - “It’s a unique position,” Schoen said. “I think some of it’s the make-up of the guys. If you talk about a unit in terms of five offensive linemen, they’ve got to be working together and in sync. I look at the type of guys, we talk about smart, tough and dependable. - “I think you start there and then you move to the talent aspect. Do they have athleticism? Do they have strength? Do they have power? What type of run scheme are we going to be in? What are we going to ask them to do? I think it’s an intangible position just as well as a physical position.” - While much of the offseason focus will once again be on quarterback Daniel Jones from the outside looking in, Schoen and Daboll are far more concerned with other areas of the team. As they should be. - - RelatedMel Kiper Jr. says Giants should '100 percent' stick with Daniel JonesGiants' Brian Daboll unsure who will call plays in 2022Giants' Joe Schoen: Restructuring contracts 'a last resort' - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - -

Mel Kiper Jr. says Giants should '100 percent' stick with Daniel Jones / The New York Giants are embarking on a new era with a new general manager (Joe Schoen) and another new head coach (Brian Daboll). - Both men are on the record stating they are staying with fourth-year quarterback Daniel Jones (for the moment, anyway) but Schoen told reporters on Tuesday that he’s ‘open for business‘ and will explore all options up and down his roster with the exception of wide receiver Kadarius Toney. - The NFL Combine is being held this week and the draft is still seven weeks away but it’s not too early to speculate on whether the Giants will be seeking other solutions at quarterback. - Jones’ first three seasons have been marred by sloppy play, inconsistency and injuries with only a few shining moments to hang his hat on. The new regime is willing to give him a shot to win them over even if they decline his fifth-year option this spring. - ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. commented recently on whether or not the Giants should ride with Jones or move on at quarterback. - “A hundred percent, I do,” said Kiper, advocating for the Giants to continue forward with Jones. “I’m not one to bail on quarterbacks. I think you have to have patience with quarterbacks; you can’t just kick him to the curb when it’s not his fault. - “If it was his fault, he had everything around him working. The O-line doing their job, Barkley healthy all year running well, receivers healthy and catching the football for a change on a consistent basis — Evan Engram — then you say to Daniel Jones ‘you’re not getting it done.’ - “But when Jones has nothing around him happening positively on a consistent basis, how in the heck can you consider him to be a quarterback that ‘we have to cut the ties to?’ - “I would stick with Daniel Jones. If everything’s working around him this year, now that he’s more of a veteran now — not a rookie or a young quarterback anymore, stays healthy, he’s worked on the ball security, eliminated that as big problem. . . If everything around him is hitting on all cylinders and he still not getting it done and winning game, then certainly after this year you move on. - “But give Daniel Jones a fighting chance. I don’t think the problem is Daniel Jones. We’ll find out again in a year. You might be telling me next year at this time ‘you’re wrong.’ If I’m wrong, fine, but I would stick with him. I have confidence that Daniel Jones has the ability, the mindset to win football games if he gets a little help on the offensive side of the ball.” - There you have it. The original draftnik has spoken. The Giants appear to agree.

Giants' Brian Daboll unsure who will call plays in 2022 / - - - When the New York Giants introduced Brian Daboll as their next head coach, general manager Joe Schoen said he’d prefer if Daboll did not call offensive plays. - Daboll’s offensive play calling in Buffalo is likely a big reason he got the job with New York, and the hope is certainly that he can help fix the Giants’ offensive woes. - As the Giants enter their most important scouting combine in recent memory given their two top-10 picks, Daboll spoke to the media on Tuesday and still was unsure who will be calling the plays on offense. - - -Daboll said he was very impressed with OC Mike Kafka through the interview process..no decision has been made at this point with respect to who will call plays #giantschat - — Lance Medow (@LanceMedow) March 1, 2022 - - - As much as the upcoming season will be a rebuilding year for the Giants, that doesn’t mean it isn’t still a crucial year for the development of Daniel Jones and the team’s offense. - Co-owner John Mara has already admitted how much the constant change in coaching staff has plagued the development of Jones. Whether or not Jones is the quarterback beyond 2022, the development of the offense around him is equally important. - As the Giants go into this offseason, you’d hope there would be a more definitive answer about who the offensive play caller would be since the coaching staff has been intact for a few weeks now.

Giants' Joe Schoen: Restructuring contracts 'a last resort' / New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen wants to clear upwards

Giants' Joe Schoen: Restructuring contracts 'a last resort' / New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen wants to clear upwards of $40 million in salary cap space this offseason, but he’s not going to restructure a ton of contracts to get there. - Speaking with reporters at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis on Tuesday, Schoen said that contract restructures are a “last resort” as opposed to a necessity. - - #Giants Joe Schoen says that restructuring contracts for cap space is ‘a last resort’ - — Ryan Dunleavy (@rydunleavy) March 1, 2022 - - - The quick comment may have seemed like a throw-away line, but that’s far from the case. Given the Giants’ current cap situation and the money they’re aiming to clear, that essentially means the roster will be gutted in the coming weeks. - And Schoen didn’t shy away from that reality, either. He acknowledged he’s “open to everything” with the exception of trading wide receiver Kadarius Toney. - “Like whether it’s trading player for player; I’ll listen to anybody. If it’s trading a couple players — I’m not going to say the entire roster, [that] we’re open for business on the entire roster. But if anyone is going to call and they’re interested in any of our players. I’m certainly going to listen,” Schoen said. - “Again, we’re in a situation where unfortunately we have to get under the salary cap. We’re not in very good salary-cap health. Again, I’m not going to say yes to every deal, but I’m definitely going to listen and be open to the situations that are best for the New York Giants.” - And when will this cap cutting begin? “Soon,” Schoen said. - - RelatedGiants ignore offensive line, go all defense in latest Mel Kiper Jr. mockEx-Giant Eli Apple mercilessly trolled during Mardi GrasOdell Beckham Jr. shuts down any notion of potential Giants return - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Joe Schoen 'open to everything,' except trading Kadarius Toney / New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen met with the media at the NFL combine in Indianapolis on Tuesday and made it clear that he was “open for business.” - That was in direct response to a question regarding a possible trade of running back Saquon Barkley, who is entering his fifth season with the club and is set to earn $7.2 million in 2022. - The Giants can only avoid paying Barkley’s salary if he is traded. Cutting or releasing him would result in a 100 percent dead salary cap charge. - There promises to be some tough cuts very soon as the team is approximately $12 million over the salary cap. - - GM Joe Schoen said there are a lot of contingency plans regarding the salary cap. They'll start making moves sooner rather than later. - — Dan Salomone (@Dan_Salomone) March 1, 2022 - - - Schoen made it known again that he is in fourth-year quarterback Daniel Jones’ corner — for now — but has not yet decided if he will exercise Jones’ fifth-year option. - That figure is projected be approximately $21.4 million for one season should the Giants bite. It’s doubtful they will based on Jones’ performance thus far. They would be better served waiting to see how Jones fares this season and take their chances in free agency. - That won’t preclude Schoen from selecting a quarterback in the 2022 NFL draft, however. He told reporters he is actively evaluating this year’s quarterback class and that he will bring in a backup (Mitchell Trubisky?) and other players to compete with Jones. - Schoen is open to moving up — or back — in the draft order to get the players and/or draft capital he needs and stated that the team can compete right now while building towards the future. That is an approach that Schoen’s predecessors thought was possible but has failed miserably. Perhaps he’ll have better luck. - One player Schoen said he would not be interested in dealing is last year’s top selection in the draft, wide receiver Kadarius Toney. It is unknown if there’s even any interest around the league in Toney after a rookie season that saw him repeatedly sidelined by several injuries and illnesses. - Head coach Brian Daboll also seems to be taking a particular interest in Toney. - - Brian Daboll said that Kadarius Toney (aka Yung Joka) has been sending him some songs to “evaluate”, Daboll joked. - Said they’ve FaceTimed a few times. #Giants - — Zack Rosenblatt (@ZackBlatt) March 1, 2022 - - - Better get Toney on your fantasy teams as soon as possible. - Will Giants trade Kadarius Toney this offseason? - Powered By PickUp - - RelatedGiants ignore offensive line, go all defense in latest Mel Kiper Jr. mockEx-Giant Eli Apple mercilessly trolled during Mardi GrasOdell Beckham Jr. shuts down any

Giants ignore offensive line, go all defense in latest Mel Kiper Jr. mock / - - - The

Giants ignore offensive line, go all defense in latest Mel Kiper Jr. mock / - - - The New York Giants will enter the 2022 NFL draft in need of several offensive linemen and a pretty stacked group to choose from. However, mock draft trends have begun to sway leading up to the NFL Combine with many prognosticators suggesting Big Blue will ignore the O-line outright in Round 1. - ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. is now one of those people. - In Kiper’s first mock draft of the year, he had the Giants selecting NC State offensive tackle Ikem Ekwonu at No. 5 overall and Michigan linebacker David Ojabo at No. 7 overall. But in his updated mock, released on Tuesday morning, Kiper now has the Giants going all defense. - 5. New York Giants - Kayvon Thibodeaux, DE, Oregon - If the draft plays out like this and both of the top offensive tackles are off the board before the Giants pick, taking a defender makes the most sense. And if Thibodeaux is available, he’d be a perfect fit for a New York defense that needs to pair a true edge rusher with rookie Azeez Ojulari, who led the team with eight sacks last season. Thibodeaux has to improve his all-around game, but he has outstanding physical tools as a pass-rusher. He had seven sacks last season and put up the second-best pressure rate in the country (17.8%). If he comes close to his ceiling, he’ll make multiple All-Pro teams. - The Giants have some nice pieces to build around for new general manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll, but they’re not going to be able to acquire an edge rusher like Thibodeaux anywhere other than the draft. We could look back at this pick in five years and consider it a steal. - As Kiper alludes, the selection of Thibodeaux comes with both Ekwonu and Evan Neal already off the board at No. 1 and No. 3, respectively. Charles Cross remains available, but Kiper found it too difficult to pass on the much-needed edge rusher. - The problem? By passing on Cross, the Giants miss the chance to select him. He goes off the board at No. 7, leaving New York emptyhanded. As a result, they go back to the defensive side of the ball. - 7. New York Giants (via CHI) - Devin Lloyd, ILB, Utah - With the Giants’ second top-10 pick, I’m going all-in on improving the front seven of the defense. Lloyd is a middle linebacker, yes, but he does so much more. He had 111 total tackles, eight sacks, 20 tackles for loss, four interceptions and a forced fumble last season. He had 16.5 total sacks over the past three seasons. Lloyd (and No. 5 pick Kayvon Thibodeaux) can add some pass-rush upside to a team that desperately needs it. If New York does take Lloyd here, that probably means Blake Martinez, who tore his ACL in September, will be

Suddenly, the quiet and often isolated Apple was loud and boisterous. His ego had swelled to unimaginable proportions and that manifested itself with a side of disdain. - Disdain for who?

Odell Beckham Jr. shuts down any notion of potential Giants return / - - - Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is poised to become an unrestricted free agent on March 16. And although he’s recovering from a torn ACL, you can bet teams will rush to shower him with some money. - Will the New York Giants be among them? Given their history with Beckham and their current salary cap issues, it’s pretty obvious they won’t be. - But what if they were? In that hypothetical scenario, how would things play out? - Well, Beckham answered that question on Monday and Giants fans aren’t going to like what he had to say. In a nutshell, he eliminated the possibility of any reunion with the Giants — now or in the future. - - Lol naaa bro I don’t wanna be a problem and locker room cancer - — Odell Beckham Jr (@obj) February 28, 2022 - - - “Nah, bro. I don’t wanna be a problem and locker room cancer,” Beckham tweeted, somewhat tongue-in-cheek. - During Beckham’s time in New York, he became an oft-hit lightning rod. His on-field fights with Josh Norman, his sideline antics and his bizarre interviews with ESPN painted him as an immature problem child. He fell out of favor with general manager Dave Gettleman and head coach Pat Shurmur, and was eventually shipped off to the Cleveland Browns. - In Cleveland, a similar scenario played itself out and Beckham eventually forced his release. He ultimately landed with the Rams and it was nearly a Cinderella story. OBJ helped carry Los Angeles all the way to the Super Bowl and although he will get his ring, it came at the cost of tearing his ACL for the second time. - During that ride to a title, Beckham reflected on his time in New York. And as it turns out, he’s still very torn — saying he was “booted” from the team while also claiming they were the “best years” of his life. - Will OBJ stay with Rams next season? - - Powered By PickUp - - RelatedOdell Beckham reflects on Giants tenure: 'Some of the best years of my life'Odell Beckham Jr. on Giants exit: 'I got booted'Tiki Barber draws parallels between Odell Beckham, Kadarius Toney - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up!

Why the Giants are unlikely to use the franchise tag in 2022 / - - - March 8

Why the Giants are unlikely to use the franchise tag in 2022 / - - - March 8 is the deadline for NFL clubs to designate franchise or transition players. The New York Giants, seeking to shed at least $40 million in salary cap space, aren’t likely to place either tag on any of their impending free agents. - The Giants have only four impending free agents that currently earn over $2 million per year: tackle Nate Solder, center Billy Price, tight end Evan Engram and safety Jabrill Peppers. - None of those players are worthy of the designation, which would pay them franchise tag values are based on the average of the top five highest-paid players at their positions or even higher. - Other starters and notable names headed for free agency are guard Will Hernandez, linebacker Lorenzo Carter, defensive tackle Austin Johnson and fullback Eli Penny. - The Giants will either seek to sign them before free agency begins on March 16 or take their chances in the open market. - According to Spotrac, the franchise tag values are expected to be as follows: - - Quarterback: $29.5M - Running back: $9.5M - Wide receiver: $18.5M - Tight end: $11M - Offensive linemen: $16.5M - Defensive tackle: $17M - Defensive end: $17.5M - Linebacker: $18.5M - Cornerback: $17.5M - Safety: $13M - Kicker/Punter: $5M - - Solder is expected to retire. The Giants aren’t going to bring him back and it’s doubtful any team will pay him enough to continue his career elsewhere. - Price, Engram and Peppers can all be had much cheaper in free agency. That is, if the Giants are even interested in retaining any of them. - - RelatedGary Myers: Giants legends Carl Banks, Tiki Barber should be in Hall of FameEx-Giants scout: Saquon Barkley is worth every pennyShould Giants work a trade for Za'Darius Smith? - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Marshall was every bit as good and perhaps even better than Tuck and Osi, who are in ROH. - — Gary Myers (@GaryMyersNY) February 26, 2022 - - - We’ve personally been down this road with Barber but not so much with Banks. Barber was one of the best running backs of his era but he has his drawbacks. His career was basically on hold his first three seasons and then kicked into gear. He had three seasons where he amassed over 2,000 total yards from scrimmage and almost had a fourth (1,984 yards in 2002). His last three seasons were actually his best. - Barber retired after the 2006 season and that is where the rub begins. He left his career numbers on the borderline. Enough in my opinion to get him into Canton, but one more season would have put him over for sure. And that season would have been 2007 — the year the Giants won Super Bowl XLII. A Super Bowl ring would have also gone a long way with voters. - Banks also did not become a starter right away. He became a starter in Year 3 and was a formidable player once he did. The issue with Banks is he has just one All-Pro/Pro Bowl season (1987) to his credit and may not have been as good a player as the man he replaced — Brad Van Pelt, who went to five Pro Bowls playing on last place teams. - As for Marshall, we agree he belongs in the Ring of Honor. In fact, he’s on our list of the best players not to inducted in the Ring. - Here’s what I wrote on Giants Wire back in 2018: - Marshall will always be known as the guy who ended the 49ers’ “Three-Peat” when he blasted Joe Montana right out of Candlestick Park (and eventually out of San Francisco) in the 1990 NFL Championship Game. He is a two-time Super Bowl champion, two-time Pro Bowler and a two-time second-team All-Pro. Marshall’s 79.5 sacks rank him third in franchise history in that stat behind Michael Strahan and Lawrence Taylor. - No question, Marshall should be in the Ring of Honor. He has also lived in the area and represented himself and the Giants in the community over the years. I expect him to be added in the next round of inductees,

Ex-Giant Deon Grant inducted into Georgia Sports Hall of Fame / Retired New York Giants defensive back Deon Grant is

Ex-Giant Deon Grant inducted into Georgia Sports Hall of Fame / Retired New York Giants defensive back Deon Grant is headed to the hall of fame — the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame, to be exact. - Grant was among the headliners for the Class of 2022, joining Warrick Dunn, Eric Zeier and several others. - At Josey High School in Augusta, Deon Grant was a USA Today All-America defensive back as he helped lead the Eagles to the Triple-A State Championship in 1995. Deon signed with the University of Tennessee where he was an All-American and helped the Vols claim the 1998 National Championship. Grant entered the 2000 NFL Draft and he was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the second round. - After missing his rookie campaign with an injury, Grant would begin a streak of playing 144 straight regular season games over the next nine years with Carolina, Jacksonville, and Seattle. Deon signed with the Giants in 2010 and in two seasons with New York, he played in all 36 games, including the Giants upset win in Super Bowl 46 over the heavily favored New England Patriots. - After 12 seasons, Deon retired in 2013 having played in 176 games with 30 interceptions and 10 fumble recoveries. Impressively, he pulled off the rare trifecta: winning a high-school State Championship, a College Football National Championship, and an NFL Title. - Grant, a second-round pick of the Carolina Panthers in the 2000 NFL draft, signed with the Giants in 2010 and started 32 regular season games for the team over the span of two years. He was also among a trio of defenders who helped knock down Tom Brady’s hail mary in Super Bowl XLVI, securing a championship for Big Blue. - In 176 career NFL games, Grant recorded 778 tackles (624 solo, 23 for a loss), 110 passes defensed, 30 interceptions and 6.5 sacks. - - RelatedGiants add quality in Draft Wire's pre-combine mockShould Giants work a trade for Za'Darius Smith?Pat Fitzgerald thinks Mike Kafka can fix Giants' broken offense - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Ex-Giants scout: Saquon Barkley is worth every penny / With the winds of change once again blowing in East Rutherford,

Ex-Giants scout: Saquon Barkley is worth every penny / With the winds of change once again blowing in East Rutherford, many anticipate a personnel bloodbath for the New York Giants this offseason. - Already, rumor and speculation surround several players, including quarterback Daniel Jones, safety Logan Ryan, wide receiver Sterling Shepard and yes, even running back Saquon Barkley. - Barkley, specifically, has been the focal point of many mock trades and trade speculation. But at least one former Giants scout — Steve Verderosa — believes trading Barkley would be a counterproductive measure. - - To the general public 7 million dollars is a huge number. In the NFL landscape it isn't. You have bad backup QBs making more than that. If Barkley comes back with a monster year & it makes the QB & team better than it was worth every penny. - — Steven E Verderosa (@SteveV_PFN) February 26, 2022 - - - - Every year for every team is a rebuilding/retool year. That is what the draft,free agency & salary cap is all about. Giant fans who would you rather have, Barkley with the chance that he could be great again or Adoree Jackson who is way over paid ! - — Steven E Verderosa (@SteveV_PFN) February 26, 2022 - - - The issue isn’t so much that Barkley is guaranteed $7.217 million in 2022, it’s that the Giants have debilitating salary cap issues and may not be able to justify paying that for an oft-injured running back. - The trade proposals and speculation don’t come from a place of disrespect, but reality. Barkley was electric as a rookie in 2018 but has seen injuries consume his career ever since. And even when “healthy,” his production has completely fallen off a cliff — he’s been out-produced by Devontae Booker and Wayne Gallman over the previous two seasons. - And more to Verderosa’s point, Adoree’ Jackson played well for the Giants in 2022 and although overpaid, adds value at a premium position. It’s also possible that the Giants trade James Bradberry, making Jackson that much more important. - Jackson is guaranteed value. Barkley is potential value. And therein lies the problem facing the Giants and general manager Joe Schoen. How much can a cash-strapped organization really afford to pay a non-premium player based on potential alone? - - RelatedPat Fitzgerald thinks Mike Kafka can fix Giants' broken offenseBill Barnwell: Giants must decline Daniel Jones' fifth-year optionDaniel Jeremiah: Ikem Ekwonu would be 'slam dunk' pick for Giants - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - -

Giants add quality in Draft Wire's pre-combine mock / The 2022 NFL Combine will get underway on March 1 at

Giants add quality in Draft Wire's pre-combine mock / The 2022 NFL Combine will get underway on March 1 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. That means the NFL draft is just around the corner and mock draft production has reached fevered pitch. - Our friend Luke Easterling over at Draft Wire released his final pre-combine mock on Friday and in it, the New York Giants do a great job of adding both quality and quantity. - At No. 5 overall, Easterling has the Giants going with a very familiar face: NC State offensive lineman Ikem Ekwonu. - If Brian Daboll is going to work any magic with Daniel Jones like he did with Josh Allen, the offensive line needs huge improvements. Drafting Ekwonu would be a big step in the right direction, adding a pro-ready blocker who earned all-conference honors at both guard and tackle. - Two picks later, the Giants address one of their defensive needs. And they do so with a name that hasn’t been as frequently mocked to the Giants: Florida State edge rusher Jermaine Johnson II. - After addressing the offensive trenches with their first selection, the Giants use their additional top-10 pick to land an impact player for their defensive front. Johnson was dominant during Senior Bowl week, and has all the physical tools to cement himself as a top-10 pick. - A solid 1-2 punch for the Giants in Round 1. - Over the next two rounds, Easterling has the Giants adding the following talent: - 36. New York Giants | Georgia LB Quay Walker - 67. New York Giants | Georgia OL Jamaree Salyer - 81. New York Giants (from MIA) | Coastal Carolina TE Isaiah Likely - Arguably, this is one of the better mocks of the year for New York. Most have them going off script and getting cute with safeties, cornerbacks and wide receivers, but Easterling’s pre-combine mock has them staying focused and addressing their most dire areas of need. - - RelatedPat Fitzgerald thinks Mike Kafka can fix Giants' broken offenseBill Barnwell: Giants must decline Daniel Jones' fifth-year optionDaniel Jeremiah: Ikem Ekwonu would be 'slam dunk' pick for Giants - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Should Giants work a trade for Za'Darius Smith? / The New York Giants will enter the new league year on

Should Giants work a trade for Za'Darius Smith? / The New York Giants will enter the new league year on the hunt for upgrades at multiple positions, including along the edge. Perhaps second only to offensive line reinforcements, the Giants need a quality pass rusher to add to Don Martindale’s defense. - However, given the team’s salary cap restraints, that fix is unlikely to come via free agency. Rather, the draft seems like a much safer bet. - But that’s not a thought that entered the mind of Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine, who recently broke down every team’s ideal trade scenario. - In Ballentine’s breakdown, he postulates that the Giants should trade for Green Bay Packers defensive end Za’Darius Smith. - Za’Darius Smith broke out and earned himself a big contract with 8.5 sacks in his final season with the Baltimore Ravens. That also happens to be the year that Don “Wink” Martindale made the move from linebackers coach to defensive coordinator. - Martindale now happens to be the new defensive coordinator with the New York Giants. - The Packers find themselves in a position where they are paying Za’Darius and Preston Smith nearly a quarter of their salary-cap space. With Rashan Gary proving he’s ready to take over one of their spots, it makes sense they would want to move one of the Smiths. - . . . - Smith would instantly enhance New York’s pass-rush. He spent most of the 2021 season on injured reserve, but he had a sack on just 19 snaps in Green Bay’s lone playoff game. That’s a good sign he’ll be ready to produce again in 2022. - The problem with the Giants potentially acquiring Smith is outlined in Ballentine’s analysis. Although it would be a positive to reunite him with Martindale, New York is currently over the cap and have no means to take on Smith’s massive salary. - Smith is entering the final year of a four-year deal and is slated to account for a whopping $27.7 million against the cap. The only scenario in which the Giants could absorb that hit is a contract extension — something they may not be willing to do or even interested in entertaining. - An alternate scenario would be the Packers releasing Smith as a cap casualty, but then a feeding frenzy would likely ensue with the Giants being priced out. - Ultimately, Smith in a Giants uniform is a fun and intriguing thought, but it’s not something that’s going to manifest. - - RelatedPat Fitzgerald thinks Mike Kafka can fix Giants' broken offenseBill Barnwell: Giants must decline Daniel Jones' fifth-year optionDaniel Jeremiah: Ikem Ekwonu would be 'slam dunk' pick for Giants - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like

Pat Fitzgerald thinks Mike Kafka can fix Giants' broken offense / The New York Giants offense, which has been among the NFL’s worst the past two seasons, may finally headed in the right direction. - The hiring of Kansas City Chiefs quarterbacks coach Mike Kafka as their new offensive coordinator is being widely praised as a bold stroke by incoming head coach Brian Daboll. - Kafka was a star at Northwestern as a quarterback before being drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL draft. He bounced around as backup and practice squad player for six seasons before heading into coaching. - In 2016, Kafka joined his alma mater as graduate assistant on Pat Fitzgerald’s staff before heading to Kansas City to work for Andy Reid the following year. - Fitzgerald has known Kafka since he scouted him in high school as an assistant at NU. The two reunited in 2005 and Fitzgerald took over as head coach the next season. Kafka become the starting quarterback as a senior in 2009. - Fitzgerald believes the Giants are getting a budding star in Kafka. He has full faith in Kafka’s abilities, which have been on display out in Kansas City for the past five years. He believes Kafka will do a great job for the Giants. - “I will tell you this, the New York football Giants are gonna get a terrific person who is going to grind and do everything he can to help that organization win and I think just embodies what New York and Chicago are all about,” Fitzgerald told the New York Post on Friday. - Fitzgerald also believes that the 34-year-old is likely to become a head coach some day. - “Absolutely, there’s no question in my mind,” said Fitzgerald. “First of all, he’s a Northwestern man, so he’s incredibly bright. He was unbelievably dedicated and just a relentless football player. He played at a high level and knows what it takes to get there so he’s experienced what the players will have experienced. . .he was willing to grind. - “He came here, he went into a kind of a non-coaching role with the Chiefs and to see the way he’s grown up in this profession, I think he’s a superstar. I think he’s gonna do a great job there with the Giants and then the sky’s the limit for Mike. If it’s being the head coach here I hope he gives me a few more years.” - - RelatedBill Barnwell: Giants must decline Daniel Jones' fifth-year optionDaniel Jeremiah: Ikem Ekwonu would be 'slam dunk' pick for GiantsReport: Some in Giants front office want to move on from Logan Ryan - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - -

Bill Barnwell: Giants must decline Daniel Jones' fifth-year option / The New York Giants and general manager Joe Schoen have

Bill Barnwell: Giants must decline Daniel Jones' fifth-year option / The New York Giants and general manager Joe Schoen have several “tough decisions” to make in the coming days and weeks. And although it’s a bit further down the road, they must also decide the immediate fate of quarterback Daniel Jones. - In early May, the Giants will need to either pick up Jones’ fifth-year option or decline it. And like those of us at Giants Wire, ESPN’s Bill Barnwell firmly believes they should decline it. - The Giants would owe Jones $21.4 million in 2023 if they pick his fifth-year option up this spring. The chances of him emerging as an above-average starter after beginning his career with three subpar seasons are extremely slim. He has posted adjusted net yard per attempt indices (ANY/A+) of 88, 83 and 92 to start his career. The only other quarterbacks since the merger to fail to post even an ANY/A+ of 95 across 300 attempts in their first three seasons are Darnold, Jeff George and Rick Mirer. - . . . - Guaranteeing Jones’ 2023 salary is an unnecessary commitment. If Daboll can’t coax a turnaround out of him, the Giants will be able to avoid a Darnold situation and end the Jones era without any further investment, allowing them to find a new quarterback next offseason. Even if he does turn things around, though, the Giants would be able to use the franchise tag in 2023 to create some leverage if they want to do a new deal. The Giants are still in on Jones, but there’s nothing here to justify a longer commitment. Yet. - Barnwell hits the nail directly on the head. - Whatever the opinion on Jones — good or bad — the situation is where it is. Jones hasn’t played well in either of the previous two seasons and the reasons for that are irrelevant. The Giants simply can’t commit to that guaranteed fifth-year salary. And if they ultimately decide Jones has turned the corner and they want him long-term, they could use the franchise tag. - From a business standpoint, the fifth-year decision seems obvious. It will come with a lot of unnecessary noise, but there’s no way the Giants can pick it up from a financial perspective. - - List - - PFF lists 4 Giants among top 200 impending free agents - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please

Daniel Jeremiah: Ikem Ekwonu would be 'slam dunk' pick for Giants / North Carolina State offensive lineman Ikem Ekwonu was

Daniel Jeremiah: Ikem Ekwonu would be 'slam dunk' pick for Giants / North Carolina State offensive lineman Ikem Ekwonu was recently named a “dream target” for the New York Giants in the 2022 NFL draft. And as it turns out, that’s an opinion gaining considerable steam. - During a Friday conference call, NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah shared similar sentiments as it relates to Ekwonu. He believes the 6-foot-4, 320-pounder would be a “slam dunk” pick for the Giants. - “They’re going to value physicality. [Joe Schoen is] big on that. Joe’s really big on character and makeup, competitive and toughness,” Jeremiah said. “I think Ekwonu would be a slam dunk if he got to them. I don’t know that he’s gonna get there, but if he did I think that would be one they’d probably just turn in the card.” - That’s an interesting 180 for Jeremiah, who just days ago argued that the Giants don’t need to use a first-round pick on an offensive linemen. His recent mock draft followed along those lines, with New York selecting Georgia edge rusher Travon Walker and USC wide receiver Drake London. - Jeremiah added that should Ekwonu and Evan Neal be off the board at No. 5, the Giants need to go in a different direction. He does not believe Charles Cross would be worthy of either of their two first-round picks. - “They have other areas they need to address with their team,” Jeremiah said. “It’s easy to say they need an offensive lineman, they’re taking an offensive lineman. But if it doesn’t fall that way I don’t know that they’re necessarily going to force it.” - Further, Jeremiah admits he sees Ekwonu potentially playing guard during his first season in the NFL. That begs the question: is he worthy of a top 10 pick? - That’s not to say Ekwonu couldn’t or wouldn’t play tackle, just that he may be more valuable inside early on. - “You don’t need five Tony Boselli’s, you just can’t have any tomato cans out there,” Jeremiah added. - The Giants are certainly tired of trotting out four tomato cans alongside Andrew Thomas. And at guard or tackle, Ekwonu would represent an upgrade over said tomato cans. - - RelatedSaquon Barkley named a player the Giants 'should trade'Could Giants sign Mitchell Trubisky to compete with Daniel Jones?Giants, Joe Schoen have plenty of draft capital to work with - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - -

Report: Some in Giants front office want to move on from Logan Ryan / When the New York Giants signed

Report: Some in Giants front office want to move on from Logan Ryan / When the New York Giants signed Logan Ryan in September of 2020, they weren’t entirely sure what they were getting. - Ryan was a late addition to the team, he was switching from cornerback to safety and was coming off a down season with the Tennessee Titans. But like a fish to water, Ryan took to all of it and was eventually named a defensive captain. - However, 2022 will once again breed change for the Giants. General manager Dave Gettleman, head coach Joe Judge and much of his staff are out. Joe Schoen, Brandon Brown and Brian Daboll are in. - So, what does it all mean for Ryan and his future in East Rutherford? That’s tricky. - Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports that some in the front office feel it’s time to move on from Ryan, but not everyone agrees. - There are some people in the Giants’ front office that want to move on from the veteran safety, the Daily News has learned. But Ryan, who turned 31 on Feb. 9, is a critical leader and contributor. - . . . - No one has delivered Ryan any bad news yet, to The News’ knowledge. It wouldn’t hurt if new defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale went to bat for Ryan, though. He provides significant value on and off the field. - The Giants are short on both talent and leadership, so thinning out the safety position and removing a team captain may not be the best decision. However, the team is also extremely short on salary cap space and leadership aside, Ryan did not play particularly well in 2021. - In 15 games, Ryan recorded the lowest Pro Football Focus grade (60.4) of his career. He also allowed 81.4% of all targets in his direction to be caught, surrendering three touchdowns in the process. His 10 missed tackles didn’t help, either. - Ryan has a $9.25 million base salary owed to him in 2022, accounting for a total cap hit of $12.225 million. Of that, $5.5 million is already guaranteed and another $3 million will become fully guaranteed on March 19. - Needless to say, if the Giants are going to move on from Ryan, they will have to do it soon. - - List - - PFF lists 4 Giants among top 200 impending free agents - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - -

Brandon Brown willing to 'push the needle' to help repair broken Giants / Shortly after the New York Giants hired

Brandon Brown willing to 'push the needle' to help repair broken Giants / Shortly after the New York Giants hired Joe Schoen as their next general manager, the team conducted a bit of a front office shuffle. - Kevin Abrams, who had served as the assistant general manager, was promoted to senior vice president of football operations. Brandon Brown was then hired from the Philadelphia Eagles to replace him. - The 33-year-old Brown, who grew up in Glen Cove, New York and graduated from Fordham University, now returns home to take on the daunting task of helping to fix the once proud Giants. And it’s a role he does not take lightly. - “The greatest thing about coming back to this area is the sense of responsibility,” Brown said during an appearance on the “Giants Huddle: Front Office Edition” podcast. “This is one of the flagship franchises in the league. The biggest thing coming back to this area is knowing that the fan base holds you accountable, and it means so much more than just football. - “A lot of people depend on this. I just feel like being a part of this organization, I don’t want to let anybody down. I know we have a collective effort in getting back to where we all want to be — where the fan base wants to be and where the organization wants to be.” - In order for the Giants to return to form, they’ll need to rebuild their roster. That’s where Brown comes in, and he’s ready to push the needle — even if it means finding players in unconventional places. - “Pushing the needle. The biggest quote I like to use is ‘When everyone knows what we know, what we know is no longer important.’ You always want to be pushing the envelope forward and not be reactive to what’s going on,” Brown said. “Whether it’s involving the scheme, whether it’s involving the player usage, whether it’s involving where to find players. That’s a process I put into practice in Philadelphia, was football players come from every walk of life. - “That was shown through finding players in Canada, finding players who played rugby, finding players that came from small schools. It doesn’t matter. If you have the developmental mindset and the developmental physical traits, and you have the aptitude to learn, then it’s our job in terms of personnel and coaching and player development to get you onto the right onboarding process and that maximizes you as you’re going on in your role and eventually on game day.” - Schoen and Brown will get their first crack at things in a little more than two weeks when the new league arrives and ushers in free agency. - - RelatedGiants land Charles Cross, Kayvon Thibodeaux in latest CBS Sports mockIkem Ekwonu named Giants' 'dream target' in 2022 NFL draftGiants are in rough salary cap shape, but others have it worse - - - -

Ikem Ekwonu named Giants' 'dream target' in 2022 NFL draft / The New York Giants are in desperate need of

Ikem Ekwonu named Giants' 'dream target' in 2022 NFL draft / The New York Giants are in desperate need of several new offensive linemen and most seem to believe they’ll use one — if not both — of their two first-round picks in the 2022 NFL draft to address those positions. - There will be several quality options to choose from that encompass all five line positions. But in the mind of Alex Kay at Bleacher Report, North Carolina State offensive lineman Ikem Ekwonu is Big Blue’s “dream target.” - If Ikem Ekwonu is still available when Big Blue is up, expect the team to jump at the chance to bring him aboard. - . . . - The North Carolina State product’s “unbelievable combination of size, power and athletic ability” was cited on B/R’s scouting report, and it’s hard to see the Giants passing up the opportunity to add this special of a prospect to their arsenal. - While Ekwonu mostly played left tackle for the Wolfpack, the 6’4″, 320-pounder has the skillset to thrive regardless of where he ultimately lines up the pros. - Ideally, he would become a long-term starter at LT for the Giants, but the rebuilding franchise could move him around as necessary and still feel comfortable that he will perform at a high level. - It’s hard to see Ekwonu falling outside the top-five, making him a dream prospect for the G-Men to land in April. - The Giants appear set at left tackle with Andrew Thomas, but could move him to the right side if they deemed it necessary. It’s also possible that someone like Ekwonu could slide inside to guard, where the Giants are also in need of bodies. - Although Ekwonu is a solid option for the Giants, he shouldn’t be considered their “dream target.” That distinction belongs to Alabama’s Evan Neal, who is very likely to go No. 1 overall. - - RelatedGiants, Joe Schoen have plenty of draft capital to work withReport: Giants wanted to hire Ryan Poles as assistant GMGiants promote Harvard graduate Cade Knox - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Saquon Barkley named a player the Giants 'should trade' / Even before the New York Giants took Saquon Barkley with the second overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft, many were critical about taking a running back that high in the draft. - While Barkley was more than impressive in his first season, winning Offensive Rookie of the Year, injuries have decimated the last few years for the Penn State product. Of course, with Barkley’s attitude and drive to be the best he can be, many expected him to be a contender for Comeback Player of the Year. - Earlier this week, Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports named Barkley as a player the Giants should trade: - New York could certainly hang onto the former first-rounder as a guinea pig for new coach Brian Daboll’s offense. But due $7.2M in a contract year, with a future extension likely to cost the Giants anywhere between $12M and $15M per year, they should be seeking any reasonable offers they can get. Barkley is just 25 with freakish (and often injured) physical tools, but that money would be better spent on fixing QB, the O-line, and pretty much every other position. They could also use any extra picks for their rebuild. - Although Barkley certainly didn’t live up to expectations last season, neither did the Giants as a whole. - When healthy, Barkley is obviously one of the best running backs in the game, though many wonder if he will ever return to being anywhere close to the game-changing talent he was during his rookie campaign. It’s important to note that the roster on the offensive side of the ball has underachieved around Barkley, particularly the offensive line. - Early in the 2021 season, rumors surfaced around the Ravens possibly having interest in Barkley. Obviously, no trade went through, but there are still some who believe the Ravens would be a good destination for Barkley. - At this point, it’s hard to know how the new regime of general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll feel about Barkley. Especially considering they came over from the Buffalo Bills, who were an extremely pass focused the last couple years. - It’s also hard to say what kind of trade capital the Giants could get in return for Barkley given his injury history the last few years. - As the Giants enter a critical offseason where they have plenty of work to do restructuring the roster and clearing cap space, it’s likely no player is untouchable in the trade market. If the right offer were to come along, it’s not out of the realm of possibility to move Barkley. - - RelatedGiants, Joe Schoen have plenty of draft capital to work withCan Giants rebuild offensive line without using early-round picks?Trio of Giants working out at Pinnacle Performance in Georgia - - - - - - - - - - - - Email

Could Giants sign Mitchell Trubisky to compete with Daniel Jones? / The writing on the wall ahead of the 2022

Could Giants sign Mitchell Trubisky to compete with Daniel Jones? / The writing on the wall ahead of the 2022 regular season is that Daniel Jones is being penciled in as the New York Giants’ starting quarterback. - But that doesn’t mean the Giants won’t look for a decent backup to play behind Jones or even possibly compete for his job in training camp over the summer. - The Giants may still have Jake Fromm, who was once drafted by the Buffalo Bills. He is an impending exclusive rights free agent. There’s also Davis Webb, a third-round pick of the Giants in 2017 who then spent 2019-2021 with the aforementioned Bills. - While the Giants aren’t going to be able to bring Josh Allen to East Rutherford with Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen, they could bring in Allen’s backup from last season — Mitchell Trubisky — to compete with Jones. - It’s an idea Zack Rosenblatt of NJ Advance Media recently pondered. - The former No. 2 overall pick of the Bears spent last season as the Bills backup after a failed tenure in Chicago and, by all accounts, showed enough that some expect him to get an opportunity to compete for a starting job elsewhere after hitting free agency this offseason. Could that be with the Giants? At the very least, the possibility of Trubisky coming to New York and backing up Daniel Jones shouldn’t be ruled out. - Last year, the Giants signed veteran Mike Glennon as the backup for Jones and he was a disaster, losing in every single game he started for the Giants. - Trubisky was a former starter in the league with the Chicago Bears and while he wasn’t going to push Allen for starting time, he could very well push Jones for his starting gig with the Giants. - Plus, given how Jones has missed some time in each season with an injury, having a decent backup proved to be vital last year — and Glennon certainly wasn’t the answer. Trubisky would be an upgrade over Glennon at the very least. - - RelatedGiants, Joe Schoen have plenty of draft capital to work withCan Giants rebuild offensive line without using early-round picks?Trio of Giants working out at Pinnacle Performance in Georgia - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories

Can Giants rebuild offensive line without using early-round picks? / The New York Giants own the fifth and seventh overall

Can Giants rebuild offensive line without using early-round picks? / The New York Giants own the fifth and seventh overall selections in the 2022 NFL draft and the consensus is that they will use one — or both — of those picks on bolstering their sagging offensive line. - Which leads us to ask: what, exactly, is the correct way to build an NFL offensive line in 2022? Should you attack it with your most valuable draft capital, focus on free agency or approach it with a strategy that simply brings in complimentary players that form the best unit? - The latter is likely the most successful approach as the line must perform as a singular unit to gain optimal results. - - Thought of the day…you can build a functional/winning OL without spending 3-4 first round picks. - — Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) February 23, 2022 - - - The Giants, throughout their history, have built their best lines that way — finding players that worked well together, draft status be damned. - In 1986, the Giants’ starting offensive line was comprised of an eclectic bunch head coach Bill Parcells coined “The Suburbanites,” as they showed up for work in vans and other family-oriented vehicles complete with baby car seats and child cup holders. - None of those players were what we would now call “Day 1 or 2” draft picks. - Left tackle Brad Benson was an eighth round pick of the New England Patriots who the Giants signed in 1978 and had to endure some horrific seasons before the Giants became contenders and champions. - Left guard Billy Ard was also an eighth round pick (1981). Center Bart Oates and right guard Chris Godfrey were both undrafted players who the Giants signed after the league they were playing in — the USFL — went belly up. Right tackle Karl Nelson was the Giants’ third round pick out of Iowa State in 1983. - Full disclosure, by 1990 — the Giants’ second Super Bowl season of that era — only Oates was still in place. The Giants had replied the others with two first rounders (Eric Moore and William Roberts), a third rounder in Bob Kratch and a sixth rounder in Doug Riesenberg. - The Giants’ great lines of the mid-2000s, which set an NFL record for consecutive games stated as a unit, was also constructed from loose ends. - The only ‘blue-blooder’ on the line was guard Chris Snee, who was a second round pick in 2004 out of Boston College. - Center Shaun O’Hara was signed as a free agent after making his bones as a walk-on at Rutgers and a UDFA with the Cleveland Browns. Guard Rich Seubert was signed as a UDFA by the Giants in 2001 out of Western Illinois. - Right tackle Kareem McKenzie was signed as a free agent in 2005 after four seasons with the Jets. Tackle/guard David Diehl was a fifth rounder out of Illinois in 2003.

Report: Giants wanted to hire Ryan Poles as assistant GM / Even prior to Dave Gettleman announcing his retirement from football, the New York Giants had begun to look forward. They knew a major overhaul was necessary and that included a new general manager and, likely, a new assistant general manager. - In the end, the Giants landed on Joe Schoen, who had previously been with the Buffalo Bills, as their next GM. But that decision only came after an exhaustive search that included a multitude of interviews. - Several candidates rose to the top alongside Schoen, including Ryan Poles. - Poles had served as the executive director of player personnel for the Kansas City Chiefs and was widely viewed as a rising star. And the Giants were so impressed with his interview that although they settled on Schoen, had begun to consider other options for Poles. - While appearing on Talkin’ Giants this week, ESPN reporter Jordan Raanan revealed that the Giants considered hiring Poles as the assistant GM — a job that ultimately went to Brandon Brown after Kevin Abrams took on a different organizational role. - - .@JordanRaanan on why Joe Schoen stood out more than the rest when hired and if Ryan Poles didn’t get another GM job, there’s a chance he would be the Giants Assistant GM pic.twitter.com/KcxNjPcqEE - — Talkin’ Giants (@TalkinGiants) February 22, 2022 - - - “The Giants loved him. To the point where they had an idea, ‘okay, if we hire another guy, we’d love to hire Ryan Poles as our assistant general manager.’ If he didn’t get another job, which he eventually did,” Raanan said. - Poles, of course, went on to land the Chicago Bears general manager role — a position Schoen had also interviewed for. - Ultimately, the Giants went with Schoen over Poles based on his overall experience in the game of football. He was a player who became and intern and then rose through the ranks. Poles, although impressive, didn’t have quite the resume to match. - It’s no guarantee Poles would have agreed to join the Giants in a lesser role, but the organization was certainly prepared to offer him a position. Instead, Poles will now be an NFC opponent of the Giants and Schoen. - - RelatedGiants still searching for returns from 2021 rookie classGiants select familiar names in The Ringer mock draftGregg Rosenthal ranks Daniel Jones among worst NFL starting QBs - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - -

Giants make surprising selections in latest Daniel Jeremiah mock draft / The New York Giants will enter the 2022 league

Giants make surprising selections in latest Daniel Jeremiah mock draft / The New York Giants will enter the 2022 league year in desperate need of offensive linemen and precious few options by which to obtain them. - General manager Joe Schoen will be tasked with clearing $40 million in cap space, which will require several “tough decisions.” Some of those decisions, in addition to moving around personnel, will likely include passing on high-priced free agent additions. - Accordingly, the Giants will need to turn their attention to the 2022 NFL draft in order to finally shore up their offensive line. But in the mind of NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah, who needs an offensive line? Not the Giants. Apparently. - In Jeremiah’s most recent mock draft, he has the Giants making two very curious selections. First up at No. 5 overall is Georgia edge rusher Travon Walker. - Walker is a unique talent because of his size, athleticism and versatility. The Giants need more playmakers on defense. - The selection of Walker comes with Kayvon Thibodeaux, who Jeremiah expects to fall, Jermaine Johnson II and George Karlaftis still on the board. - The Giants do need an edge rusher, but is Walker the guy at No. 5 overall? And if so, the next selection is obviously an offensive lineman, right? Wrong. - At No. 7 overall, Jeremiah has the Giants going with USC wide receiver Drake London. - The Giants seem very committed to giving Daniel Jones a fair evaluation in 2022. London has inside/outside versatility and he’ll be a monster in the red zone. - It’s as if no one watched the Giants over the past two years (and more). It doesn’t matter how many playmakers the team has, they’re unable to function as an offensive unit due to inept pass protection and run blocking. And if that’s not fixed, London is a useless asset. - London is also coming off a fractured ankle and if there was any ligament damage, that could cause problems long-term. - - List - - 2022 NFL draft: Giants select a new QB in full 7-round mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants still searching for returns from 2021 rookie class / Shortly after the 2021 NFL draft had concluded, the New York Giants saw a wave of positive reviews for the job general manager Dave Gettleman had done. Not only had the team compiled additional future draft assets, they maximized a negative situation and appeared to find quality talent. - But the positivity would be short-lived. - Out of the gate, cornerback Aaron Robinson and edge rusher Elerson Smith endured injury issues, while wide receiver Kadarius Toney couldn’t stay on the field for a variety of reasons. Then, early in the season, cornerback Rodarius Williams suffered a torn ACL, ending his promising rookie season. - The theme of the draft class was and remains the same: Tons of potential, but no solid returns. - Nick Shook of NFL.com recently graded each NFC East draft class and although he gave the Giants a solid letter score (B-), he came to the same conclusion. - The Giants’ entire 2021 season can be summarized by Kadarius Toney’s rookie season. The first-rounder struggled to stay on the field due to multiple injuries, but when he was available, he occasionally exploded, as in his 10-catch, 189-yard performance in Week 5. He just wasn’t available enough to make a significant difference for a struggling offense that saw its coordinator fired during the season. Toney could still make this pick look like a home run, but there’s a lot of boom-or-bust potential. - The Giants nailed the selection of Azeez Ojulari, who led the team in sacks with eight and figures to be a key part of this defense for years to come. Aaron Robinson played nearly a quarter of New York’s defensive snaps and might fill a bigger role in 2022, with James Bradberry potentially headed elsewhere due to cap constraints. Elerson Smith’s season was shortened by injury, but he did force a fumble in his limited action. - Gary Brightwell spent most of his season on special teams, getting just two touches in 13 games. Rodarius Williams’ season ended due to a torn ACL suffered in Week 5. Raymond Johnson played a rotational role as an undrafted signee and will have to fight to stick with the Giants in 2022. - Of the group, Toney is obviously the most important. The Giants desperately need a game-changing playmaker to emerge and he certainly has the athletic talent, but can he stay on the field? - And for the reasons Shook alluded to, Williams and Robinson may also become extremely important pieces for the Giants in 2022. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire

Giants select familiar names in The Ringer mock draft / The 2022 NFL draft is rapidly approaching and as a result, mock draft season has reached peak production. The latest mock comes via The Ringer’s Danny Kelly, who focuses much of his analysis on scheme fits. - So, what did that mean for the New York Giants? As it turns out, more of the same. - Kelly has the Giants staying put for each of their two first-round picks with North Carolina State offensive lineman Ikem Ekwonu going at No. 5 overall. - The Giants have spent big at the offensive skill position spots in the past few years, using premium draft picks on Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley, and Kadarius Toney while giving Kenny Golladay a big-money contract in free agency. If any of those guys are going to live up to their potential, though, new head coach Brian Daboll needs to get more from the offensive line. Choosing Ekwonu here is a great start. - Kelly adds that Ekwonu could shift inside to guard at the NFL level. He also notes that some NFL teams are concerned with his still-developing pass protection techniques. - The pick of Ekwonu came with Evan Neal off the board, but Charles Cross still available. - At No. 7 overall, the Giants again stay put in Kelly’s projection. This time, they address their defense with the addition of Purdue edge rusher George Karlaftis. - The Giants need to bolster their edge rush group this offseason, and grabbing Karlaftis here gives them day-one starter and impact player. Paired with second-year rusher Azeez Ojulari (who netted 8.0 sacks as a rookie), Karlaftis gives new defensive coordinator Wink Martindale some much-needed speed and physicality on the edge. - Despite Karlaftis’ obvious upside, Kelly cautions that he’s “too out-of-control” at times and lacks consistent discipline in his pass rush. There also a concern that Karlaftis’ extreme shoulder dip results in him landing on the turf entirely too often — mistakes he won’t be able to recover from at the NFL level. - There’s no doubt about it, though. Ekwonu and Karlaftis are becoming two of the most consistent mocks to the Giants this year. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each

Gregg Rosenthal ranks Daniel Jones among worst NFL starting QBs / The 2021 season was supposed to be the year

Gregg Rosenthal ranks Daniel Jones among worst NFL starting QBs / The 2021 season was supposed to be the year we found out if Daniel Jones was the New York Giants’ long-term solution at quarterback. It was also supposed to be a year in which Big Blue turned a corner and returned relevance again. - Instead, Jones and the Giants left plenty to be desired on the field. Whether Jones is the primary reason to blame or not, many believe New York should move on from the 24-year-old. - Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com recently ranked the quarterbacks around the league and had Jones listed at 24th overall. That, coincidentally, is the same rank Jones earned following the 2020 season. - Nothing validated my take that Jones was playing better than his numbers showed quite like watching the Giants try to play without him. It’s impossible to overstate how poor his protection and coaching have been, and he’s shown enough flashes for me to believe he could be an average starter. Whether he can be better than that is the question the Giants need to answer. - In Rosenthal’s explanation, he pinpointed the poor protection and coaching — aspects that may have hindered Jones’ development. That is also something co-owner John Mara acknowledged this offseason, admitting that the organization has done everything possible to screw DJ up. - - "We've done everything possible to screw this kid up since he's been here" - John Mara on Daniel Jones: pic.twitter.com/LPwdkiB9fA - — Giants Videos (@SNYGiants) January 26, 2022 - - - It’s tough to say where the Giants stand with Jones. However, many, including Rex Ryan and Dan Orlovsky have said that head coach Brian Daboll is a fan of Jones. - Still, Jones didn’t move the needle one way or the other in 2021. But on the other side of things, there was plenty of blame to go around between the offensive line, the coaching staff and some big-name weapons underperforming. If the play of the backup QBs in Jones’ absence due to injury showed us anything, it magnified the poor play of the offensive line. - For now, unless something unforeseen happens, Jones will likely be the starter next season. With the Giants in salary cap disarray and an ugly group of quarterback prospects coming in, Jones is likely the best option with the team in rebuild mode once again. - Hopefully, the new coaching staff can get the most out of Jones and mold him into a franchise quarterback soon. If Jones is unable to rank higher on this list following next season, it’s likely because he hasn’t made that big jump and ultimately Big Blue may have to move on. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - -

Report: Ex-Giants coach Joe Judge will mentor Mac Jones in New England / When former New York Giants head coach

Report: Ex-Giants coach Joe Judge will mentor Mac Jones in New England / When former New York Giants head coach Joe Judge rejoined the New England Patriots and Bill Belichick earlier this month, he was given the title of offensive assistant. - - - - As part of Judge’s new job in New England, he will be responsible for working with the quarterbacks, including Mac Jones. - - - - From Albert Breer of NFL.com: - - - - - As it stands now, Judge is expected to work with the quarterbacks, and (Matt) Patricia with the line, and each will do so without much experience having coached offense before they became head coaches over the last few years (Judge came up working with the special teams, Patricia on defense). Which, obviously, is a dice roll given the critical point that Mac Jones is at. (For what it’s worth, I’ve heard the Patriots haven’t so much as talked to Adam Gase about their OC opening, and things have been quiet on the Bill O’Brien front as well.) - - - - - Judge’s previous experience with Belichick came as an assistant coach and special teams coordinator. He was also given the wide receivers coaching job prior to being hired by the Giants in 2020. - - - - With the departure of Josh McDaniels to the Las Vegas Raiders as their next head coach, the Patriots still don’t have an offensive coordinator despite the rumblings of Adam Gase or Bill O’Brien potentially signing on. - - - - Does Belichick trust Judge enough to potentially give him the play-calling duties? Things may be trending in that direction and we could soon see another Jones running back-to-back quarterback sneaks. - - List - - PFF lists 4 Giants among top 200 impending free agents - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

He began his coaching career at BC as a graduate assistant in 1991. From there, he had stints with Boston University, Connecticut and South Carolina before breaking into the NFL in 2004. - After being hired as New York Giants head coach, Tom Coughlin added DeGuglielmo as assistant offensive line and quality control coach. He remained at that post through the 2008 season, winning a Super Bowl XLII title in the process, before the nomad journey continued. - Following his first stint with the Giants, DeGuglielmo made stops with the Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, New England Patriots, San Diego Chargers and Indianapolis Colts. He then circled back around with both the Dolphins and Giants. - DeGuglielmo rejoined the Giants in 2020 under head coach Joe Judge, who needed a replacement for Marc Colombo.

Brian Flores' class action lawsuit against NFL, Giants will remain active / Even before the New York Giants finished conducting

Brian Flores' class action lawsuit against NFL, Giants will remain active / Even before the New York Giants finished conducting their head coaching search, they were slapped with a class-action lawsuit courtesy of Brian Flores. - In the legal filings, Flores, who is also suing the NFL and several of its teams, claims that he was “humiliated” by the Giants, believing they ran him through a “sham interview” process to give the impression a minority coach was a serious candidate. - The Giants emphatically denied Flores’ allegations of racial discrimination. - “The allegation that the Giants’ decision had been made prior to Friday evening, January 28, is false. And to base that allegation on a text exchange with Bill Belichick in which he ultimately states that he “thinks” Brian Daboll would get the job is irresponsible. The text exchange occurred the day before Coach Daboll’s in-person interview even took place. Giants’ ownership would never hire a head coach based only on a 20-minute zoom interview, which is all that Mr. Daboll had at that point,” the Giants said in part. - After his filing, Flores continued to receive head coaching interest from the Houston Texans. However, after they passed on Flores and instead hired Lovie Smith, they, too, found themselves added to Flores’ lawsuit. - Even after being hired as a defensive assistant and linebackers coach with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Flores and his representatives maintain that the lawsuit will move forward. - “We congratulate Coach Flores on his new position with the Steelers and thank Coach Tomlin and the organization for giving him this great opportunity,” Douglas H. Wigdor and John Elefterakis said in a statement. “While Coach Flores is now focused on his new position, he will continue with his race discrimination class action so that real change can be made in the NFL.” - The Giants already have legal representation in place, but the NFL is reportedly set to hire the firm of former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch to provide their defense. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Joe Schoen braces for 'tough decisions' on several players / New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen revealed early

Giants' Joe Schoen braces for 'tough decisions' on several players / New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen revealed early on that he intends to clear upwards of $40 million in salary cap this offseason. That means several key players will either be asked to take pay cuts or be released outright. - Those decisions won’t come easy, which Schoen admitted to the New York Post in an exclusive interview over the weekend. - “First off, we have to get underneath [the cap], we have to make some tough decisions here in the near future just to get in a place where we can sign draft picks and be below the cap,” Schoen said. “There’s a fine line, because you can’t purge.” - Schoen is warry of purging the roster for two reasons. One, the Giants are already thin at nearly all positions. Two, purging the roster would essentially mean wasting another season for quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Saquon Barkley. - “I don’t want to purge the roster, because we still want to find out what Daniel Jones can do, we want to find out what Saquon can do. We got some good pieces on defense,” Schoen said. “The fine balance, the fine line is cutting players that can really help you win but you also got to get under the salary cap, then you’re gonna have the draft picks.” - Among the biggest issues facing Schoen is not only getting the Giants under the cap, but ensuring that there’s enough money left over to sign their nine draft picks — which include two in the top 10. That’s expensive. - Adding to Schoen’s issues are several of the contracts he now has to navigate. Case in point: Wide receiver Kenny Golladay, who is on the books for $21.1 million in 2022. Cutting him would actually cost the Giants more (an addition $2.45 million in dead cap) than it would save. - “The players were paid those contracts they’re making because at some point they were performing to a certain level,” Schoen said. “Whether they were overvalued or maybe they got more than how they’re performing or not, that’s where you’re gonna have to free up money.” - In cases like Golladay’s, that may mean exploring the trade market. For others like cornerback James Bradberry, it may mean making a really tough call and thinning out another position. - “What I would like to do is not be in the situation where you do the big signing bonuses and you kick the can down the road,” Schoen said. “That’s not ideal for me. I like to do smaller signing bonuses and then roster bonuses in latter years, it gives you more flexibility.” - The Giants won’t be able to skate by on just simple restructures, however. Based on Over the Cap projections, they can only gain roughly $20 million in cap space that way, meaning other moves must be made. - “Then when we start to plan who

Ex-Giant Spencer Paysinger thriving in TV, film industry / Former New York Giants linebacker Spencer Paysinger grew up in South Los Angeles and throughout his career, he never lost sight of where he came from or where his roots were buried. - After playing at the University of Oregon, Paysinger signed with the Giants as an undrafted free agent the season the Giants won Super Bowl XLVI. - Paysinger recently sat down with Brandon London, another former Giants Super Bowl champion, to discuss his part in the making of the CW Network show ‘All American’ — a show is based on Paysinger’s life growing up in the Crenshaw neighborhood of Los Angeles. - Paysinger credited his family for his motivation and the creativity that’s led him to several of these projects in his post-playing career. - “It wasn’t until the show aired that I had a bunch of my former teammates reach out and be like, ‘Yo, I actually want to apologize to you because we just thought you were this white washed, Oreo kid that didn’t have the same perspective as us that are from the inner city.’ And I just told them, ‘The experience that y’all had as a freshman at Oregon, I got that initial shock at 13-years-old at Beverly,'” Paysinger recently told Giants.com. - “So by the time I got to college, this was nothing. This was just a bigger playground for me, whereas you guys were still trying to find your footing being a minority in this big old space.” - When it came to making the show “All American,” Paysinger teamed up with a producer Dane Morck, who had a very different path of life while growing up in the same area with similar circles between the two. - Paysinger is now a part of a production company, “More street productions” with Morck, and is working with Michael Strahan on a documentary about Bishop Sycamore High School. - Paysinger’s name is not one many Giants fans will remember as they look back on the Super Bowl XLVI team, but clearly he has has parlayed his career and his path to the NFL into something much bigger than his time in the league. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire

Mathias Kiwanuka reunites with former Giants teammate to promote NFL Africa / Former New York Giants linebacker and two-time Super Bowl champion, Mathias Kiwanuka, is teaming up with his former teammate, Osi Umenyiora, to promote NFL Africa. - Kiwanuka is now thriving in his retirement from the NFL with his football career in the distant in the rearview mirror. His post-playing career began with his wine company, which has taken off. - “Life after football is very unique, you know it. You retire at a relatively young age in terms of society, right? We’re 30-something years old, we’re coming out and our careers are finished,” Kiwi recently said. “So, it’s time to reinvent yourself and figure out what it is you’re going to do with the rest of your life, which is a long time. - “Immediately, I wanted to do something away from football. Plenty of opportunities came along and I passed on a number of them and then when this one came across my desk, I knew that it was going to be a real learning experience. That being said, it was a learning experience about something that I enjoy. At that time, I was already enjoying wine and then as far as this business goes, we started from the ground up.” - Kiwanuka’s work ethic is something that has guided him to growing his brand wine and making it into the successful company it is today. - In addition to his new show with David Tyree and his wine company in southern Florida, Kiwanuka’s latest venture in teaming up with Umenyiora is something that hits a little close to home to both players. - With Umenyiora originally coming from the UK and Kiwanuka having roots in Uganda, both players have a passion for the NFL Africa Project. - “I’d be remised if I didn’t mention that I am working with Osi Umenyiora on NFL Africa, the project, and we’ve talked about me joining The Uprise, his organization and partnering with the NFL,” Kiwi said. “The effort is to get more visibility garner a way for Africans — and East Africans specifically — to make their way to the NFL. - “You know this is an opportunity to go back and to share our experience and to provide knowledge and tutelage and an opportunity for these people, for our countrymen to come here. I really believe in it. I believe in it as a project and it’s going to be fun too, to have another reason to go back.” - Umenyiora and Kiwanuka are prime examples of talent that has come to the NFL with international roots.

Giants select CB Ahmad Gardner in latest PFN mock draft / The New York Giants will likely enter the 2022

Giants select CB Ahmad Gardner in latest PFN mock draft / The New York Giants will likely enter the 2022 NFL draft in need of players at several key positions: center, guard, tackle, edge and linebacker. - Depending on what they do to clear upwards of $40 million in cap space, they may also find themselves in need of a tight end, safety and potentially even a cornerback. - With their first pick in Round 1 of the draft, Pro Football Network has the Giants addressing right tackle with the addition of Charles Cross (Mississippi State). - Make no mistake, the Giants need offensive line help. After a rough rookie year, Andrew Thomas has come into his own at left tackle. Charles Cross only played left tackle in college (outside of a handful of snaps at RT), but he can start from Day 1. His mirror ability is among the best in the class, and he owns plus arm length. - The pick of Cross comes with Ikem Ekwonu still on the board. - At No. 7 overall, things get more interesting for the Giants. With several other linemen and a handful of edge rushers/linebackers available, PFN decides to ignore them all in favor of Cincinnati cornerback Ahmad Gardner. - I promise this is not a biased pick, although I love Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner‘s game. Patrick Graham is out as the Giants’ defensive coordinator, and Don “Wink” Martindale is in. If there’s anything we know of Martindale’s defenses, they will blitz and run man coverage the majority of the time. So, why not give him the best man-coverage corner in the class? - From a system standpoint, Gardner does make sense. And if the Giants end up trading James Bradberry, it makes even more sense. Still, it might be a tough sell given the team’s other more pressing concerns. - In Round 2, the Giants finally address their issue along the edge with USC defensive end Drake Jackson. - 36. New York Giants - Drake Jackson, EDGE, USC - Jackson is a player we’ve twice mocked to the Giants, so you’re not going to hear us complain about this pick. Plus, it would mean New York addresses two of their most significant needs over their first three picks, while also adding a scheme-fit cornerback.

Evan Engram named a player the Giants must keep / New York Giants tight end Evan Engram is slated to become an unrestricted free agent in March, while veteran Kyle Rudolph is a potential cap casualty. That leaves general manager Joe Schoen & Co. dangerously thin at the position. - With so many other areas of need, that could be very problematic for the Giants. There’s also Engram’s unrealized potential, which would make him a frustrating loss for some in the building. - Engram was also one of the Giants’ few consistent offensive threats in 2022, which speaks volumes given his overall level of inconsistency. But it’s precisely why Gil Brandt of NFL Network believes Engram is a “must keep” for the Giants. - Engram still has yet to match his rookie-year highs in targets (115), catches (64), receiving yards (722) or receiving TDs (six). There isn’t much good to take from the Giants’ dreadful offensive efforts in 2021, but Engram did lead the team in scoring grabs (three), and he was the only player on the roster to post a passer rating when targeted in the triple digits (132.3) on red-zone plays last season, although the sample size there (four targets) was small. The Giants have plenty of players bound for free agency, including multiple starting offensive linemen, but Brian Daboll figures to find a way to put Engram to good use as he tries to spark the offense under Daniel Jones. - Newly hired head coach Brian Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka could be exactly what the doctor ordered for Engram, but at what cost? Some team is bound to throw a boatload of money at Engram based on potential alone, and he may be thinking a divorce is best for both sides. Things have obviously not gone according to plan in East Rutherford. - Still, Engram’s potential coupled with a unique offensive system is intriguing. One of the reasons Engram has been hindered since entering the league — outside of his own issues with drops — has been his misuse. Whether it was Ben McAdoo, Pat Shurmur or Joe Judge, no one has been able to take advantage of Engram’s unique skill set. Daboll and Kafka seem like guys who would get it right. - Ultimately, however, it may be too little, too late to for Engram and the Giants. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. -

Does Kayvon Thibodeaux expect Giants to draft him? / The 2022 NFL draft is roughly two months away and much is subject to change between now and then. Free agency, for example, will drastically alter the approach of many teams. Ditto the 2022 NFL Combine in Indianapolis. - For those reasons, many early rumors should be taken with not just a grain of salt, but an entire salt shaker. - That’s doesn’t necessarily mean they’re all untrue, however. And that’s why each is worth exploring — even Colin Cowherd’s recent claim that Oregon pass rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux expects to be drafted by the New York Giants. - During an episode of “The Colin Cowherd Podcast” earlier this week, Cowherd spoke with Action Network CCO Chad Millman. The pair discussed some of the juiciest rumors to come out of The Volume Sports’ Super Bowl party in Los Angeles, and that’s when Cowherd dropped the Thibodeaux story. - “Kayvon Thibodeaux, the defensive end from Oregon,” Cowherd said. “He thinks he’s going to the New York Giants.” - What makes Thibodeaux think he’s going to land with the Giants? Cowherd didn’t really have any answer for that. - Cowherd is known to spout some nonsense every now and again — like suggesting the Giants trade 10 years worth of picks for Russell Wilson — but at least this scenario is logical. The Giants are in need of a quality edge rusher and in many recent mock drafts, Thibodeaux has been sliding to them. - That doesn’t mean Thibodeaux has any sort of inside information or that the Giants have tipped their hand, just that it makes sense as a fit. And given the draft order inside of the top 10, it’s easy to deduce that he’d end up a prime Giants target. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

ESPN names OL James Daniels a 'best fit' for Giants / The New York Giants will enter free agency with very limited available cap space. And although newly hired general manager Joe Schoen plans to clear upwards of $40 million before the start of the new league year, the Giants’ options will be limited. - Because of their cap situation, New York will be handcuffed and restricted in what they’re able to do. Accordingly, their free agent targets are likely to be mid-level players who are willing to take smaller, prove-it contracts. - However, there are a few notable free agents the Giants may specifically opt to target. - Jeremy Fowler and Matt Bowen of ESPN recently broke down the league’s top 50 impending free agents and listed their “best fits.” When it came to the Giants, they pegged Chicago Bears offensive lineman James Daniels as the go-to guy. - 28. James Daniels, G - Best team fit: New York Giants - Why it makes sense: The Giants need several new pieces along the offensive line, and Daniels would instantly upgrade the Giants’ mobility in the interior. It’s possible the Bears don’t let Daniels leave their building without an attractive contract offer. — Fowler - Scheme fit: In Brian Daboll’s zone run game, the Giants need interior movers who can cut off defenders and climb to the second level. That’s Daniels, a young, athletic guard who would step in to upgrade this offensive front in New York. — Bowen - Pro Football Focus also recently named Daniels a free agent the Giants should pursue, so he’s certainly worth keeping an eye on. - Interestingly, Bowen and Fowler very nearly named linebacker Von Miller a “best fit” for the Giants, but instead have him remaining with Los Angeles. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Daniel Jones named a player 'dangerously close to bust status' / The New York Giants are heading into their next phase with a new general manager (Joe Schoen), a new head coach (Brian Daboll) and a new coaching staff that includes offensive coordinator Mike Kafka. - They are likely to change much of what this inept Giants offense has been recently, but one piece they are not changing is the starting quarterback. - Daniel Jones is said to be the choice under center this season even though his first three years have been inconclusive when it comes to whether he is the long term answer at quarterback. - Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine has listed Jones as a potential ‘bust’ entering this season if he should falter again. - (Jones) has only thrown four more touchdowns than sixth-round pick Gardner Minshew with more than double the interceptions. That’s not a great sign that Jones is ever going to become a franchise passer. - Jones showed some promise in his rookie season. He threw 24 touchdowns to 12 interceptions and eclipsed 3,000 yards in 13 games. - Unfortunately, there hasn’t been improvement since. - It’s hard to put all the blame on Jones, though. In three years, he’s been coached by Pat Shurmur and Joe Judge with Mike Shula, Jason Garrett and Freddie Kitchens as his offensive coordinators. He’s also absorbed over 100 sacks. - That punishment leads to another question with Jones which is health. He has missed at least two games every year and six in 2021 due to injuries. - Ballentine does mention the overall instability Jones has had to deal with since being taking sixth overall out of Duke in 2019. He’s had two head coaches and three offensive coordinators and a revolving supporting cast which has not served him well. - Also take into account are the multiple injuries Jones has sustained causing him to miss games in each of his first three seasons in the NFL. Last year, Jones missed the final six games with a neck injury. - But there is hope. Ballentine believes Jones should benefit from an upgraded roster and the tutelage he will receive from Daboll and Kafka. - With Daboll coming over from the Bills, it’s gut-check time for Jones. Daboll had great success working with Josh Allen, and four years is plenty of time to evaluate a quarterback’s potential. He has to get off to a hot start with his new coach to avoid being called a bust. - The Giants aren’t likely to exercise Jones’ fifth-year option this May, so he’s not only heading into a ‘prove-it’ year with the Giants. he’ll be auditioning for the rest of the league as well. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - -

Eli Manning's Super Bowl XLVI supporting cast was worst of any QB since 2010, data shows / Bashing former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has become a cottage industry over the years, so much to the point that many are campaigning against his inevitable induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. - For Giant fans, Eli is a lead-pipe cinch for Canton, finishing his career in the top 10 in many of the all-time passing categories such as passing yards, completions, consecutive games started and touchdown passes.

Daniel Jones brushes off John Mara's vote of confidence: 'I haven't played well enough' / The New York Giants have

Daniel Jones brushes off John Mara's vote of confidence: 'I haven't played well enough' / The New York Giants have hired a new regime to help them out of the wilderness they’ve been in since winning Super Bowl XLVI in 2012. They have just two winning seasons out of 10 since that game and have become a regular during the first few hours of the NFL Draft almost every year now. - Incoming general manager Joe Schoen and new head coach Brian Daboll have yet to decide which players they are going to build around and fourth-year quarterback Daniel Jones is one of them. - In a recent interview with Jordan Raanan of ESPN, Jones made it clear he is under no illusions as he approaches the deadline for the team to exercise his fifth-year option even though CEO John Mara is in his corner. - Mara told the media earlier this year that the team “did everything to screw they kid up” and that they still had faith in Jones even though he’s shown little to no progress the past three years. - “I’m certainly the one responsible for how I play and I take that very seriously. I haven’t played well enough. We haven’t won enough games to this point,” Jones told Raanan on a recent podcast. “That’s what I am focused on. And making sure I’m improving as a player as we go through this offseason and into next season, so I am able to put this team in a position to win games. - “I think that’s my focus — to improve every day. Right now, we’re in an offseason stage where you’re kind of on your own to do that and to go about that. So that’s what I am focused on.” - Mara’s assurance will only go so far if Jones cannot take advantage of this latest chance. One of the real reasons why the new regime is sticking with him is that there are few other options at quarterback this spring for them to explore. The national view is that Jones is a failure and the Giants should look to move on. - “You never know with new coaches and new management coming in, but like I said, I’m focused on myself, improving me and improving the team,” Jones said. “Trying to help everyone move forward is my job as a quarterback. That’s where my focus is.” - As for the fifth-year option, the Giants could very well take a pass, which would make Jones an unrestricted free agent in 2023. He has no idea where he stands at the moment. - “We haven’t had that conversation yet,” Jones said. “Like I said, my focus right now is to improve every day and make sure I’m in a good spot coming into OTAs. That I’m improving as a player — that’s what I am focused on right now.” - To complicate matters, Jones has missed games in each of his first three seasons,

Giants address multiple areas of need in Draft Wire's post-Super Bowl mock / The 2022 NFL draft is still more

Giants address multiple areas of need in Draft Wire's post-Super Bowl mock / The 2022 NFL draft is still more than two months away, but mock season waits for no one. Projections are coming in hot and heavy now that Super Bowl LVI has concluded, and that includes from our friends at Draft Wire. - In Luke Easterling’s latest mock, he has the New York Giants addressing multiple areas of need, beginning with North Carolina State offensive lineman Ikem Ekwonu. - If Brian Daboll is going to work any magic with Daniel Jones like he did with Josh Allen, the offensive line needs huge improvements. Drafting Ekwonu would be a big step in the right direction, adding a pro-ready blocker who earned all-conference honors at both guard and tackle. - Ekwonu has become the single most popular mock to the Giants, so there’s no use in beating a dead horse with further analysis. - At No. 7 overall, Easterling has the Giants nabbing Michigan edge rusher David Ojabo. - After addressing the offensive trenches with their first selection, the Giants use their additional top-10 pick to land an impact player for their defensive front. While Hutchinson grabbed more headlines in 2021, Ojabo was just as impressive, and deserves to be one of the first players off the board. - Another somewhat common mock selection for the Giants, and another who needs no further analysis. Giants fans are already familiar with him at this point. - Easterling has the Giants sticking with defense at No. 36, grabbing Georgia linebacker Quay Walker. With their next two picks, Big Blue returns to the offensive side of the ball, landing Georgia offensive lineman Jamaree Salyer and Clemson wide receiver Justyn Ross. - This wouldn’t be a terrible haul for general manager Joe Schoen, but the Giants hope to do better overall. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Report: Bills wanted to hire Giants' Davis Webb as assistant QB coach / Last week, the New York Giants announced the signing of quarterback Davis Webb, which reunited Big Blue with their 2017 third-round pick. - As it turns out, Webb had another opportunity potentially lined up had he decided to put his playing days behind him. - Webb, of course, was waived by the Giants and signed to the New York Jets’ practice squad back in 2018. Webb spent the last two seasons with the Buffalo Bills organization, where he clearly made an impression during his time. - Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports that the Bills were interested in hiring Webb as their assistant quarterbacks coach before he signed with the Giants. - - Davis Webb had an interesting to decision to make before returning to the Giants last week: https://t.co/J0Z9aw9XOM pic.twitter.com/AlXYEMDa4y - — Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) February 16, 2022 - - - Webb was on the Giants’ roster in 2017 — the year after they last made the postseason. Webb may have missed his best opportunity to be a starter or serviceable backup in the league when Ben McAdoo decided to start Geno Smith instead of Webb when the decision was made to bench two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning, ending a streak of 210 consecutive games started. - While the money is undoubtedly a big reason why Webb decided to make the decision he made, it’s likely a coaching job will be available to him in the future. - With the injury history to Daniel Jones, it’s key that the Giants go into the 2022-2023 season with a more than serviceable backup quarterback given the way that their backups performed last season. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Rex Ryan: Giants' Daniel Jones will 'be a lot better' under Brian Daboll / Once the New York Giants secured

Rex Ryan: Giants' Daniel Jones will 'be a lot better' under Brian Daboll / Once the New York Giants secured their new general manager, Joe Schoen, and their new head coach, Brian Daboll, many wondered what it all meant for big name players and their future with the team. That included quarterback Daniel Jones. - It didn’t take long for Daboll to praise Jones and for Schoen to make it clear that they would build around Jones. Now, we are quickly learning Daboll feels strongly in that particular praise although some members of the media are clearly against the Jones experiment at this point. - First it was ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky who talked about the Giants’ new head coach being a fan of Jones, and now a second ESPN employee is echoing the same sentiment regarding Daboll’s feelings on Jones. - Former New York Jets and Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan was quick to call Daboll “tremendous” and said he would do a great job while commenting on the Jones situation. - “I’m excited to see him — and I know he said don’t compare Daniel Jones to Josh Allen. But I’m not kidding you: I know for a fact Brian Daboll really likes Daniel Jones. And I do, too. He’s an athlete. He’s got the physical skill set you look for. And he’s got the mental makeup. So I think the kid is going to do well with Brian,” Ryan said, via NJ.com. - Giants owner John Mara recently admitted they haven’t helped Jones given the constant turnover at the head coaching and offensive coordinator positions. - Meanwhile, Daboll was also recently critical of the Jones/ Allen comparisons. Luckily, Daboll seems to be a fan of Jones and many feel that the Giants’ new head coach could be great for the 24-year-old, who clearly has a make-or-break year coming up in 2022. - Ryan doubled-down on the impact he expects Daboll to have on Jones, saying the young QB would be better regardless of any other changes. - “Yeah, well, no kidding,” Ryan said. “But this kid will be a lot better. Even if nothing changes, he’ll be a lot better. I think Brian will do a great job with him.” - The Giants clearly need an improvement along the offensive line but with limited cap, they may be looking at the 2022 NFL draft for those answers. - After what was supposed to be Jones’ make-or-break year last season, we still don’t know if he is the long-term solution. Hopefully, for the sake of the Giants moving forward, Daboll can help Jones bring his game to the next level and put to rest any doubt that the former first round pick can be the long-term solution at quarterback. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - -

Saquon Barkley explains Giants' two QB sneaks in Week 18 / Perhaps the most embarrassing moment for the New York

Saquon Barkley explains Giants' two QB sneaks in Week 18 / Perhaps the most embarrassing moment for the New York Giants in their dismal 2021 season came in Week 18 game against the Washington Football Team. - Then-head coach Joe Judge called back-to-back quarterback keepers inside their own five yard-line on second- and third-down rather than run a play and risk losing the football. - It was only the second quarter and the score was only 3-0 in favor of Washington but the Giants’ offense — operating with third-stringer Jake Fromm under center — was clearly in trouble and being dominated by the Football Team’ front. - Giants running back Saquon Barkley was asked what was going on in the huddle and on the sidelines during that series when Judge decided to circle the wagons and play defense with the football. - “So the week before, we played Chicago and we were in the same situation, and we couldn’t get out and we got a safety,” Barkley told Andy Nesbitt of For the Win. - “So the idea was ‘quarterback sneak it’ just to give us space.” - On second-and-11, Fromm dove into the line for a two-yard gain. On the third-down attempt, he gained just one yard. The Giants punted after that. - “There was some thought process behind it (the call),” Barkley said, citing that the Giants were undermanned due to injuries but falling short to admit that his team was just not good enough to try to get out the deep hole. - “At the end of the day we have to go out there and execute the plays. We also have to get the coaches comfortable to call whatever they want back there and I don’t think we did that the week before. A little bit on both sides to blame but I really hate pointing fingers at anyone. But, hey, we just gotta put on the pads and learn from it.” - They won’t need to do that at this point as that coaching staff is gone and so will most of the players who were on the field for that play. Jake Fromm is unlikely to ever take a live snap in a Giants uniform ever again. - Plus, the Giants are going retool their offense completely with new faces along the offensive line. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - -

Could Giants become middlemen in potential Deshaun Watson trade? / Prior to the New York Giants hiring Brian Daboll as their next head coach, rumors were abound that the team might have an interest in acquiring quarterback Deshaun Watson — especially if Brian Flores had been tabbed for the job. - That did not happen and after announcing the hire of Daboll, co-owner John Mara made apparent that an acquisition of Watson was absolutely not going to happen. - “We’re not trading for Deshaun Watson,” Mara said in response to an inquiry regarding the beleaguered Houston Texans’ quarterback. - “There are so many reasons why. Cap wise, we couldn’t afford him. But more importantly, with the allegations that are out there, that’s just not the right fit for us.” - While the Giants won’t be trading for Watson, might they be involved in a trade that sends the quarterback elsewhere? - On Wednesday, NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah implied that the Giants (or New York Jets) may become a main cog in a three-team trade involving Watson. - - NYJ & NYG could be pivotal players in trade market. If you want to trade for a vet QB (Watson, Wilson or Rodgers), they could be the middleman & supply picks for proven player(s). NYJ/NYG send pick(s) to team XTeam X sends proven player(s) to NYJ/NYGTeam X sends picks for QB - — Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) February 16, 2022 - - - An NBA-like deal in the NFL is nearly unheard-of, but there seems to be a growing belief that something like the above suggestion will play out in the coming weeks. Whether the Giants get involved remains to be seen, but it could be an opportunity to clear salary cap space and/or acquire further draft assets. - It’s also unlikely that the Giants work to acquire Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson but as Jeremiah points out, that doesn’t preclude them from being the third wheel in a potential trade. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Andrew Thomas underwent surgery to repair left ankle / New York Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas underwent surgery to repair his left ankle last month — the second consecutive year in which that ankle has been operated on. - Dan Duggan of The Athletic was the first to report the news. - - The hope is that this surgery fixes the ankle issues that have bothered Thomas throughout his first two seasons. - — Dan Duggan (@DDuggan21) February 16, 2022 - - - Thomas is expected to be at full health by the time New York’s offseason training program begins, but they’re likely to err on the side of caution with their only functional offensive lineman. - Despite dealing with ankle and foot issues (as well as a shoulder injury) throughout the season, Thomas appeared in and started all 16 games. He missed three games as a rookie due to the aforementioned ankle injury. - After a rough start to his rookie campaign, Thomas finished the season strong and came back even stronger in 2021. He raised his level of play significant and was even named to Pro Football Focus’ list of the Top 101 Players of 2021. - 80.

Giants land Kayvon Thibodeaux in Todd McShay's post-Super Bowl mock draft / - - - In the very first 2022 NFL mock draft released by ESPN’s Todd McShay back in mid-December, he had the New York Giants going all defense in Round 1. - With pick No. 5 overall, the Giants nabbed Purdue defensive end George Karlaftis. Two picks later, they selected Georgia linebacker Nakobe Dean. - In a mini-mock draft published in January, McShay teamed up with Mel Kiper Jr. and projected NC State lineman Ikem Ekwonu to the Giants at No. 5 overall. They did not simulate a pick at No. 7 overall. - On Wednesday, McShay released his post-Super Bowl LVI mock draft and in it, he again has the Giants taking entirely different names. - First up at No. 5 overall? Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux. - Yes, the Giants need offensive linemen, but with a second top-10 pick on deck and the top two linemen off the board, we’re pivoting to the other massive weakness: pass rush. And wouldn’t you know it, Thibodeaux falls right into the Giants’ lap here. He has great quickness, a good arsenal of pass-rush moves and plenty of versatility. His tape is up and down, hence a slight slide to No. 5, but he’d immediately elevate a New York pass rush that had 34 sacks (tied for 22nd) last season. And he’d perfectly complement Leonard Williams and Azeez Ojulari, the team’s 2021 second-rounder who led the defense with 8.0 sacks in his rookie year. - The Giants are in desperate need of offensive linemen, but coming in at a close second are edge rushers. And over the past several weeks, Thibodeaux to the Giants is really picking up steam. - Still, the Giants need a right tackle desperately. And as fate would have it, despite missing out on two over the first five picks, they still manage to land a potential Day 1 starter at No. 7 overall: Charles Cross of Mississippi State. - As I mentioned above, I’m not totally sure Cross is a top-10 pick. But he handles speed rushers well and plays with patience, and I see good angles on tape in the run game. He’s the next best tackle on the board, and after landing Kayvon Thibodeaux at No. 5, New York can afford to reach a little bit here. With a new GM, head coach and offensive coordinator, the Giants are going to give quarterback Daniel Jones every chance to succeed in 2022 before making a decision on their future under center. Jones has taken a lot of hits, and though left tackle Andrew Thomas rounded into form in 2021, the line remains a glaring problem. Cross, who gave up one sack on 683 pass-block snaps last season, helps. - There are some who believe Cross has the highest upside of the all available tackles, but we’ve heard that before. A similar debate raged in 2020 when the Giants selected Andrew Thomas in

Giants will need more than simple restructures to clear cap space / The New York Giants are currently in a salary cap bind as they prepare for free agency with negative-$23,883,036 in cap space, per Over the Cap. - General manager Joe Schoen has vowed to fix that so the team can begin to dig out of the massive hole left behind by four years of mismanagement by outgoing GM Dave Gettleman. - Schoen has said he wants to clear $40 million in cap space this spring, which will entail clearing a lot more in order to net that amount. - One way to achieve that goal is release players outright, but that is not always the best course of action as teams can get saddled with huge dead cap charges. - Another creative way to reduce the salary cap is by restructuring existing contracts. OTC describes this process as “the conversion of scheduled payments such as base salary or roster bonuses into signing bonuses that are prorated equally across the length of the contract, over a maximum of five years.” - There are two types of restructures — ‘simple’ restructures and ‘maximum’ restructures: - A simple restructure converts payments into prorated signing bonuses within the confines of the remainder of the contract. Teams typically have the ability to unilaterally execute simple restructures without any action necessary from the player. - A maximum restructure increases the amount of cap space via conversion into prorated signing bonuses by either extending the contract or by adding void years to a contract, years that do not extend the contract but are only used as placeholders for the proration. Maximum restructures are typically considered a renegotiation of the contract that requires the player’s consent to execute. - OTC reports the Giants can go the ‘simple’ route and restructure $43,359,066 in contracts which would yield $18,765,030 in cap space. Or, they could go the ‘maximum’ route and restructure $87,276,302 in contracts and gain $62,682,266 in cap space. - Based on the OTC numbers, the simple route still leaves the Giants well short of Schoen’s overall goal. The maximum route would likely mean committing to players the team may not have been otherwise willing to commit to long-term. - So, the solution for Schoen is probably somewhere in the middle and leaves him with his desired $40 million in open cap space. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email

Brandon Marshall trashes ex-Giants teammate Eli Apple / Brandon Marshall was one of the best — and most outspoken —

Brandon Marshall trashes ex-Giants teammate Eli Apple / Brandon Marshall was one of the best — and most outspoken — players in the NFL during his 13-year career. He learned and taught many lessons along the way. - In 2017, he played for the New York Giants and faced embattled second-year cornerback Eli Apple in practice every day and tried to school the incorrigible Apple. - Marshall is now a panelist on Showtime’s Inside the NFL and gave some insight into his time playing with and against Apple after the Cincinnati Bengals cornerback was beaten for the game-deciding touchdown in Super Bowl LVI. - “Do you know how many times I practiced against Eli Apple and said, ‘Bro, going against a number one receiver, if you give us the outside release, it’s the easiest thing in the world.’ I used to argue with him every single day playing with the Giants like, ‘Man, I’m trying to help you,'” Marshall said, via Art Stapleton of USA TODAY. - “This is a history lesson on humility. Keep your mouth shut, play ball. Then you go to the Super Bowl and you have a couple of penalties, give up a couple touchdowns. You can’t do that. You need to listen to the vets. So all the other young people watching — learn from Eli Apple.” - Apple has been a controversial figure in the NFL since the Giants drafted him No. 10 overall in 2016. He has since been more active on social media than he has been on the field, making a habit of trashing his old teams. - Apple’s mother, Annie, has also joined in the fray, sparring with the media and promoting her ‘brand’ as her son becomes more and more known for his failures than his successes. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Mike Kafka on Daniel Jones: 'He can make every throw' / The New York Giants are embarking on a new phase in the nine-and-a-half decade history of the franchise with a new general manager (Joe Schoen), head coach (Brian Daboll) and and new offensive coordinator, Mike Kafka. - It’s a trio the team hopes will return them to to top of the NFL after a decade of losing and frustration. - Daboll comes to the Giants from the Buffalo Bills, where he was the offensive coordinator under head coach Sean McDermott, and where Schoen was the assistant general manager. Kafka, after a six-year NFL career as a backup quarterback that saw him wear the uniforms of seven NFL teams, went into coaching and found his niche as Andy Reid’s passing game coordinator in Kansas City and quarterbacks coach to Patrick Mahomes, winning a Super Bowl two years ago. - Still only 34, Kafka has a load of experience already and hopes to combine with Daboll to turn the Giants’ 31st-ranked offense into a force again. - “Me and Dabes go back a ways,” Kafka told Giants.com’s Bob Papa in a recent interview. - Kafka and Daboll crossed paths in New England in 2013 when Kafka was backup quarterback and Daboll the tight ends coach. They have a similar vision for the Giants’ offense but a lot will depend on the roster that Schoen can forger for them. - Kafka would like to pick up where he left off in Kansas City where he and Mahomes lit up the scoreboard. He would like his Giants’ offense to be one dedicated to “generating explosive plays” but also is wary that may not be an option right away as he has to “make sure it fits our personnel, our quarterback, our offensive line.” - That is where Schoen comes in. The Giants won’t be able to do a whole lot with the offensive line they currently have. Kafka is excited to get to work with fourth-year quarterback Daniel Jones, however, a player who has teased Giant fane with big plays in the past. - Kafka sees Jones as “athletic and can make every throw” but admits that “it’s got to be an 11-man operation,” meaning the Giants are going have fortify the team around him if they expect Jones to succeed. - There is still a lot of changes coming in East Rutherford. Schoen is getting to work to with the rebuild of the new roster, and Daboll and Kafka and the rest of the staff still have no idea who other than Jones will be under their charge this spring. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - -

Report: Giants' Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll creating 'fun' environment / The New York Giants have endured many downs over the past decade, which has led to a tough working environment in East Rutherford. - Due to the constant turnover, employees and staff around the team’s facility have found themselves in a relentless cycle of meeting and adjusting to new people. And while respect has always flowed from one side to the other, the lack of stability has been trying. - Following the retirement of general manager Dave Gettleman and the termination of head coach Joe Judge, the team’s employees are once again dealing with change. This time however, the arrival of general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll has led to a more positive environment. - Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports that the new leading duo are very “hands-on” with the team’s employees, leading to a more pleasant vibe. - - Heard today that #Giants Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll are noticeably hands-on with all staff and employees in building, not just with other coaches and executives. Creating a ‘fun’ vibe in building - — Ryan Dunleavy (@rydunleavy) February 16, 2022 - - - This news is not necessarily a knock on Gettleman, Judge, Pat Shurmur or even Ben McAdoo, but more a testament to the change in personalities that now run the show. - Gettleman was viewed in public as blunt and standoffish, while Judge ran a tight ship — especially with his coaches. And although he did go out of his way to procure large Christmas bonuses for the team’s support staff, he was far less interactive than Schoen and Daboll appear to be. - If the Giants truly wish to change their culture, Schoen and Daboll are going about it the right way.

See it: Giants' Nick Gates sports Rich Seubert-like scar after multiple surgeries / During a game against the Philadelphia Eagles

See it: Giants' Nick Gates sports Rich Seubert-like scar after multiple surgeries / During a game against the Philadelphia Eagles in October of 2003, New York Giants offensive lineman Rich Seubert suffered a fractured tibia, fibula and ankle. The injury was so severe that it required five-plus surgeries and threatened his career. - In total, Seubert missed a year and a half before he was able to return to the field. And when he did, he sported an ugly-looking scar that told the story of both his injury and recovery. - Memories of that injury were rekindled in Week 2 of this past season when Giants center Nick Gates suffered a fractured leg against the Washington Football Team. - In the immediate aftermath of Gates’ injury, there was some concern that like Seubert before him, it was career-threatening. - However, after at least six surgeries, Gates expressed some optimism that his career would eventually continue, although he was uncertain about when that might be. - “I’m doing good,” Gates told reporters in January. “I’m making good steps and good strides in my rehab. I can’t really tell you a specific timeline on when I’m going to be back or not. I’m just taking it day by day, just trying to get better each day and just listening to what the trainers are saying. - “My plan is to get back on the field as fast as possible. I don’t know if it’s going to be this year or whatever, but just taking it day by day.” - On Tuesday, pictures of a rehabbing Gates surfaced and the extent of his leg injury became clear. Like Seubert, he now sports a scar that details just how violent the game of football can be. - - Nick Gates is putting in work. My teammate @RichSeubert69 resumed playing after a similar injury. His scar looks just like Rich’s. I believe it was a 2 year process. Rich? #TogetherBlue pic.twitter.com/phf830MF5R - — ???????? ????? (@lt4kicks) February 15, 2022 - - - Seubert weighed in on Gates and admitted the scar looks “very similar.” He also took the opportunity to praise the Giants’ athletic trainers and guarantee that Gates is in the best possible hands. - - Looks very similar, hard work will get him back on that field. Best athletic trainers are in that building. - — Rich Seubert (@RichSeubert69) February 15, 2022 - - - Although Gates is doing everything he can to return as soon as possible, the Giants may want to prepare to be without him in 2022. His injury was significant enough that he’ll likely follow a similar path as Seubert, putting his return date somewhere in 2023. - But never say never. Gates is as tough and hard-working as they come. If he can get back in 2022, he will. Just don’t bank on it. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - -

Giants defense won't play it safe under Don Martindale: 'We like to attack' / The New York Giants will have

Giants defense won't play it safe under Don Martindale: 'We like to attack' / The New York Giants will have a new defensive coordinator in 2022 after Patrick Graham departed for the Las Vegas Raiders and Don Martindale was brought in to replace him. - Martindale, of course, is known for being an exceptionally aggressive defensive play-caller. His defenses traditionally blitz more than any others, which is unique for today’s NFL. - During a recent sit-down interview with Bob Popa, Martindale elaborated on his defensive approach and guaranteed it will remain the same in East Rutherford. - “Everybody says right away, ‘pressure.’ But pressure can be viewed in many forms. A lot of the times that we had free runners in the past, it’s just been on four-man pass rushes. Now it’s been different guys coming,” Martindale said. “But I think that’s our trademark — we know how to attack protections and I’m looking forward to doing the same thing here. - “In today’s football, because of the rule changes and everything else, a lot of people just want to play it safe. I’m not built that way. We’re not built that way. We like to attack. . . Pressure breaks pipes on these offenses. I just don’t want to sit back and say, ‘okay, let’s see what you’ve got.’ I want them to sit back and see what we have.” - Martindale, whose defensive philosophy was shaped by the likes of Skip and Lou Holtz, Buddy Ryan, Al Davis and Ozzie Newsome, is admittedly quite fond of the Giants. He views them as a legendary franchise and wants to restore pride — particularly on the defensive side of the ball. - “It’s been a great experience with an iconic franchise. We’re so excited to be here. Looking forward to going to work,” Martindale said. - “This is a great organization with great fans and I already know it.” - Meanwhile, Martindale has already begun his deep dive into the Giants’ defensive roster and is encouraged by what he has to work with — especially safety Xavier McKinney. - “You have to see where you think your weak link is,” Martindale said. “It’s never as bad as it seems, it’s never as good as it seems.

Giants stock up in Chad Reuter's latest three-round mock draft / With free agency still a month away and the 2022 NFL draft soon to follow, it’s difficult to gauge what teams are thinking right now when it comes to their needs for the upcoming season. - For the New York Giants’ new general manager, Joe Schoen, things are very complex at the moment with little cap room to work with and a roster full of holes. - In his latest three-round mock draft, NFL.com’s Chad Reuter has the Giants filling some of those needs with five selections in the first 103 picks. Here’s how Reuter sees it unfolding. - Round 1, Pick 5: Ikem Ekwonu N.C. State · OT · Junior - Ekwonu is a wide-bodied stud who has lighter feet than you’d expect for someone with his girth. The Giants could play him at guard or tackle. - With Evan Neal off the board, this is a solid pick. The Giants like versatility and Ekwonu can give it to them. The only problem is if Ekwonu ends up at guard, they would have used a top 5 pick on him and that goes against positional value here. - A pure tackle would be better here. Or even a trade back for a slew of picks might be better. Just a quick note, the Giants would be passing on Oregon edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux to make this pick. - Round 1, Pick 7: Devin Lloyd, Utah · LB · Senior (RS) - Lloyd steps into the middle of the Giants’ defense, providing run-stopping ability but also the athleticism to work in coverage and attack the passer. He showed some potential to affect games as a pass rusher like Dallas Cowboys rookie Micah Parsons did last fall when given the chance. - It’s s bit of a stretch to compare any player to Parsons but this pick would be welcomed by Giant fans. Big Blue has avoided taking linebackers in the first round for the last 40 years but in this spot, it appears to be warranted. Lloyd is a stud. The Giants could use some of those. - Round 2, Pick 36: Trey McBride, Colorado State · TE · Senior - Another rough and tumble player who could continue the Giants’ long legacy of greatness at tight end. McBride won the Mackey Award this past season and had a great week at the Senior Bowl. He is an excellent pass catcher and blocker and they would be lucky to get him as he may be off the board here. McBride’s presence would instantly make Daniel Jones better. - Round 3, Pick 67: DeAngelo Malone, Western Kentucky · Edge · Senior - One can argue the Giants should take another offensive lineman here as there are still a lot to be had and heaven knows they need some. But they also need players who can get to the quarterback and Malone — a two-time C-USA Defensive Player of the Year

Thomas McGaughey had other opportunities, but desired Giants return / The New York Giants have once again restructured their front office and coaching staff in hopes of finally getting things right. - Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll has been hired as the head coach — the Giants’ fifth since parting ways with Tom Coughlin in 2016 — and that means another new coaching staff is coming in the door as well. - Former Kansas City Chiefs quarterbacks coach Mike Kafka is the new offensive coordinator, while long-time Baltimore Ravens Assistant Don “Wink” Martindale has been hired to run the defense. - The special teams coordinator is a familiar face, however. Thomas McGaughey, who has been running the Giants’ special teams since 2018 and was their assistant coordinator from 2007-10, winning a Super Bowl, has been retained. - McGaughey was sought after by several teams this offseason but decided to stay with the Giants. He spoke with Giants’ play-by-play man Bob Papa recently about his return. - “This organization has been really good for me and family. I’m a Giant for life. I had other opportunities but couldn’t wait to come back here and start something special (with Daboll),” McGaughey said. - “When you get up every morning it’s not ‘I got to,’ it’s “I get to,'” added McGaughey, stressing that the Giants are a “charter” franchise that began in 1925. - McGaughey’s units have been some the best in the NFL over his career but what he wants to improve on this off season is the return game, especially the punt returns. - McGaughey has to make do every week with whatever the other coordinators give him when it comes to personnel. From week to week he has to hustle up a lineup and make it work. - “You gotta make gumbo every week. Sometimes it’s chicken gumbo, sometimes it’s just soup,” McGaughey said. - Fortunately for the Giants, he’s one of the best chefs in the NFL when it comes to making “gumbo.” - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Sports Illustrated ranks Giants' Daniel Jones among NFL's worst QBs / There’s no denying that the past two seasons of Daniel Jones’ career have not gone according to plan. - The New York Giants quarterback has missed a multitude of games due to injury, while his supporting cast — especially the offensive line — have dragged the team to the depths like a rusty anchor. And that doesn’t even touch on the revolving door of head coaches, offensive coordinators and assistants. - In the words of co-owner John Mara, the Giants have done everything in their power to screw Jones up. - “We’ve done everything possible to screw this kid up since he’s been here,” Mara said in January. “We keep changing coaches, keep changing offensive coordinators, keep changing offensive line coaches. I take a lot of responsibility for that. Let’s bring in the right group of coaches now, give him some continuity, try to rebuild the offensive line and try to make an intelligent evaluation of whether he can be the franchise quarterback or not.” - Those over at Sports Illustrated aren’t interested in variables, however. And in their recent rankings of all NFL quarterbacks, they listed Jones among the very worst — No. 32 overall in the “veteran insurance” category. - 32. Daniel Jones: The one quarterback on this list who enters the offseason as the starter. - Alongside Jones in this category are Nick Foles, Andy Dalton, Marcus Mariots, Tyrod Taylor and Gardner Minshew, who SI views as having more upside than Jones. - The perception of Jones differs significantly inside the East Rutherford facilities and outside of them, and the SI rankings are proof positive of that. While writers and armchair general managers continue to insist there’s no meat on the bone with Jones, NFL GMs and head coaches continue to disagree. - Dave Gettleman was in Jones’ corner and now Joe Schoen is, too. Ditto Pat Shurmur, Joe Judge, Brian Daboll, Jason Garrett, Mike Kafka, Jerry Schuplinski and Shea Tierney. And ditto nearly every single GM candidate and coach who interviewed with the Giants this offseason. - The disconnect is very real but only one side can be correct on Jones — the fans and writers or the NFL executives, coaches and scouts. Which will it be? - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for

Raiders hiring ex-Giant Antonio Pierce as linebackers coach / Former New York Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce has officially made his return to the NFL. - On Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported that Pierce, who recently resigned at Arizona State amid an ongoing NCAA investigation, reached an agreement to become the Las Vegas Raiders’ linebackers coach. - - The #Raiders have reached agreement with Antonio Pierce as their linebackers coach, sources say. The former #Giants Pro Bowl LB is back in the NFL on the coaching level after spending the last few years as a defensive assistant with Arizona State. - — Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) February 15, 2022 - - - Pierce spent five of his nine NFL seasons playing for the Giants from 2005 through 2009. He was a defensive captain in 2007 when the team upset the then-undefeated New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. - Not long after his retirement in 2010, Pierce broke into coaching. His first job came as head coach of Long Beach Polytechnic High School (2014-2017). In 2018, long-time NFL coach Herm Edwards hired Pierce to coach linebackers at ASU. - In 2020, Pierce was promoted to associate head coach and co-defensive coordinator in addition to his role as linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator. He dropped his linebacker coaching duties this past season and took on the defensive coordinator role alone. - The 43-year-old Pierce official resigned from ASU earlier this month. - Now with Las Vegas, Pierce joins former Giants defensive coordinator Patrick Graham. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Andrew Thomas named to PFF's Top 101 Player of 2021 list / The New York Giants looked like a JV team in comparison to many of their opponents in 2021 and the year-end awards reflected that. - Not only were the Giants blanked in all award categories, they also did not have a single player voted into the Pro Bowl or named an All-Pro — first or second team. And when NFL Network airs the Top 100 Players list, don’t expect to see any Giants there, either. - But there was one mild silver lining and shining hope for the future: left tackle Andrew Thomas. - After struggling for a good portion of the 2020 season due to injury and inexperience, Thomas came back strong this past season. He was easily the Giants’ team MVP and the only player to hold up his end of things on a game-by-game basis. - Few recognized Thomas’ leap forward outside of New York/New Jersey, but Pro Football Focus was not among those with blinders on. - PFF released their list of the Top 101 Players from the 2021 NFL Season on Monday and smack-dab at No. 80 was Thomas. - 80. T ANDREW THOMAS, NEW YORK GIANTS - 2021 Snaps: 763 | 2021 PFF Grade: 82.8 - Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas improved by leaps and bounds in Year 2 — so much so that the offensive line was noticeably worse when he was not in the lineup. The second-year offensive tackle allowed 18 pressures across 517 pass-blocking snaps in 13 games and even scored more receiving touchdowns than key receiver additions Kadarius Toney and Kenny Golladay. - PFF 101 Rank, 2020: unranked - Thomas’ touchdown reception may be impressive in comparison to the lack of production from others, but the real story was his dominance at left tackle. He played like a true franchise lineman and deserved more consideration for the Pro Bowl and All-Pro teams. - Comparatively, Mekhi Becton and Jedrick Wills Jr. did not make the list while Tristan Wirfs, understandably, checked in at No. 44. All three were Thomas’ positional draft mates in 2020 and after just one season, many were saying he was the worst of the bunch. Old takes exposed, indeed. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - -

Giants select a wide receiver in latest CBS Sports mock draft / Anyone following or covering the New York Giants knows they need an influx of talent, especially on offense. - In the latest mock draft from Tom Fornelli of CBS Sports, they get just that with the fifth and seventh overall selections in the 2022 NFL draft. - Round 1, Pick 5: Ikem Ekwonu OL NC STATE • SOPH • 6’4″ / 320 LBS - I love Ikem Ekwonu more than any other tackle in this class because he’s not just talented with room to grow, but he plays with a mean demeanor. There’s an edge to his game that is essential when you’re asking a player to go against an elite edge rusher every week. Daniel Jones might not be the long-term answer in New York, but whomever it is, they’ll be better off having Ekwonu protecting them for the next decade. - With Evan Neal taken first overall in this mock, the Giants could have gone with Ekwonu or Mississippi State’s Charles Cross here but Fornelli has the thinking right — they need a right tackle. - Ekwonu, however, may be better at guard at the next level. The Giants still have plenty of picks to play with and this will not be the only offensive lineman they select in this draft. - Round 1, Pick 7: Garrett Wilson WR OHIO STATE • JR • 6’0″ / 192 LBS - The depth in the Ohio State receiving corps the last few years is incredible because Wilson could be the first WR taken in this draft, and I’m not sure he was the best receiver on his team last season. He would be the best receiver on the Giants, though. Adding Ekwonu and Wilson to the offense would be an excellent start for Brian Daboll’s tenure in New York and help Daniel Jones tremendously. - I agree the Giants could use some more firepower on offense but I’m not sure I’d use this pick on a wide receiver. They should look to trade this pick for four or five bodies if they can and use one of those selections on a wideout as there are plenty to choose from in this class. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll

Shaun O'Hara: Brian Daboll could be 'fantastic' for Daniel Jones / Will New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones join the elite group of young gunslingers taking the league by storm now that he’s going to get coached up by some of the top offensive minds in the game? - Perhaps. New head coach Brian Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka could turn Jones into a force like they did with Josh Allen in Buffalo and Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City, respectively. - Former Giants Pro Bowl center Shaun O’Hara believes that Jones could thrive under the coaching staff and their system. - “This offense could be fantastic for him,” O’Hara told NJ Advance Media on Super Bowl LVI Radio Row on Saturday. - “When you look at what Josh Allen does, Daniel Jones does the same exact things really well. I know it’s going to be a big year for him, I know he’s excited about it. … I know he can’t wait to get to work. He can’t wait to go out there and improve himself and improve this offense. I’m looking forward to big things for DJ.” - Jones has been inconsistent and injured the first three seasons here with the Giants. He’s played under two head coaches and three offensive coordinators and never really got into a groove as many of his offensive weapons also took turns being placed on injured reserve. - The Giants will dedicate this offseason to augmenting their subpar offensive line and shoring up their offensive personnel to fit Daboll and Kafka’s style. - Jones does have some of the qualities that Allen possesses but he’ll need to lean into them if he is to succeed. The coaches appear willing to give him that latitude. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Ex-Giant Eli Apple surrenders Super Bowl LVI-losing touchdown / A Super Bowl LVI matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals featured a number of former members of the New York Giants. - Leading up to the big game, the two former Giants making headlines were the Rams wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Bengals cornerback Eli Apple. - While their time with the Giants and their exit from East Rutherford was nothing short of controversial and left a sour taste in the mouth of many Giants fans, the lines were drawn entering Sunday.

And while both OBJ and Apple played a major role in this year’s finale, it was Beckham’s Rams who walked away victorious. - On the final scoring drive of the game, Apple surrendered the game-winning touchdown to Cooper Kupp. That came on the heels of committing a defensive penalty to extent Los Angeles’ drive. - - Cooper Kupp beats Eli Apple for the Game Winning Touchdown. pic.twitter.com/trrttdTIAw - — Doug Rush (@TheDougRush) February 14, 2022 - - - In the biggest moment of the game, Apple was unable to come up with a stop during clutch time for his team. - Beckham, on the other hand, left the game in the first half and did not return with an apparent knee injury.

Ex-Giant Mark Herzlich expects Odell Beckham Jr. to shine in Super Bowl LVI / When the name Odell Beckham Jr. is mentioned, it is met with mixed reactions. - Some harken back to his days as a New York Giants star wide receiver who made jaw-dropping plays and performed record-shattering feats. Others are quickly reminded how Beckham played his way out of two cities and was without a job as early as this past November. - All of that has been swept under the rug the past three months as OBJ is experiencing his third act, this time with the Los Angeles Rams, where he’s been hiding in plain sight among America’s movie and television elite. - Beckham is doing what he does best again — play football — and that has kept the media snipers at bay. It’s also helpful that he’s matured to the point where gives them little to no negative fodder to use against him. - “The people who are close to me are like, ‘Bro, it’s just crazy to see how the narrative has changed,'” Beckham said earlier this week. “When I was younger, I definitely did things that could’ve helped me not be able seen for who I truly am. But I also feel like there was a lot more of just trying to create a story because it’s easier to sell drama than it is to write up good things about somebody.” - Many of Beckham’s former teammates during his time with the Giants and Cleveland Browns are wishing him well in the upcoming Super Bowl this Sunday. - One of those players is former Giants linebacker/special teams ace Mark Herzlich, who not only wishes his old teammate well, but is predicting a big game from No. 3 on Sunday. - - Former Giant @MarkHerzlich sees a big Super Bowl performance for Odell Beckham: - "I wouldn't be surprised to see him throw a pass or have one of his moments, because he shines the brightest on the biggest stage.” - On THE TAILGATE: https://t.co/llLl7oHZq4 - pic.twitter.com/OiZ2UycCmf - — Ralph Vacchiano (@RVacchianoSNY) February 11, 2022 - - - “You don’t realize how smart of a football player Odell is,” said Herzlich. “Bottling him and trying to define him into a formula doesn’t work. The Rams have really let him feel like ‘I can be as versatile as I can possibly be in this system’ and you’ve seen that kind of being sprinkled in throughout the postseason. - “In the Super Bowl, I think you’re going to see some Odell moments.” - Herzlich was a rookie on the Giants’ Super Bowl XLVI championship team and was Beckham’s teammate for four seasons from 2014-17. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up

Rams sign two ex-Giants to practice squad ahead of Super Bowl LVI / The Los Angeles Rams did their final roster tinkering ahead of a Super Bowl LVI matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend, signing two former members of the New York Giants to their practice squad. - Per the NFL’s transaction wire, the Rams added both kicker Ryan Santoso and long snapper Carson Tinker to their reserve unit. - Tinker, who originally signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars as an undrafted rookie out of Alabama in 2013, spent time with the Giants in 2020 and 2021. He spent the 2020 season on their practice squad and was later signed to a reserve/future deal, but waived as a part of final cuts in 2021. - In addition to the Jaguars and Giants, Tinker has also spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Las Vegas Raiders. - Santoso, meanwhile, was initially signed by the Detroit Lions as an undrafted rookie out of Minnesota in 2018. He found his way to the Giants in September of 2020. Although signed to the practice squad, Santoso was promoted and/or elevated to the active roster on a number of occasions, although he never officially appeared in a regular season game. - In August of 2021, the Giants traded Santoso to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for conditional seventh-round pick. But in order for New York to receive that pick, Santoso had to start in two games for Carolina. He didn’t, finding himself waived after just one game (having missed an extra point). - Along with the Giants, Panthers and Lions, Santoso also had stints with the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL and Tennessee Titans, as well as an earlier stint with the Rams. - Neither Santoso nor Tinker will be activated for Super Bowl LVI, but each will now be along for the ride.

Ex-Giant Victor Cruz: Eli Manning is the GOAT and GOAT slayer / Tom Brady is arguably the greatest player of all-time. He’s joined in that conversation by the likes of Lawrence Taylor, Jim Brown Jerry Rice and others. - But for some current and former members of the New York Giants, that distinction belongs to two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning. And they don’t care what anyone thinks about that opinion. - “Anytime you put Eli Manning and the word ‘GOAT’ in the same sentence, I’m just going to say yes. He’s one of the best to do it,” Victor Cruz said during a Bleacher Report AMA this week. “His attention, approach, for all those reasons, yes. He took down Brady twice. Undefeated Brady and then round two Brady — (that) in my mind the football gods, you never know. He did it again in dramatic fashion, nice deep ball to Mario in the corner. He’s the GOAT as well as the GOAT slayer.” - Cruz isn’t the only one of Manning’s former teammates who feel that way. In fact, several do — from Justin Tuck to Hakeem Nicks and from Mario Manningham to Chase Blackburn. - But Cruz didn’t stop his reflection at Eli. He also recalled Tom Coughlin’s pre-Super Bowl XLVI speech in which the coach told his team he loved them. - “Tom Coughlin’s speech the night before. This one was a little bit special. You could tell it was a little bit more special,” Cruz said. “He had some really great words for us and I just remember that moment. It almost felt like we won the game right there. We wouldn’t let anything else affect us. It was a beautiful thing.” - Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning. Two GOATs of the Giants franchise who brought down the GOATs of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.

Ex-Giant Lawrence Tynes: Saquon Barkley didn't lose a step, he lost his 'want to' / New York Giants running back

Ex-Giant Lawrence Tynes: Saquon Barkley didn't lose a step, he lost his 'want to' / New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley appeared on the Pat McAfee Show this week and had a message for both his doubters and haters. - It was a similar message to one Barkley shared previously, but the sentiment remains the same: if you doubt him, don’t do a magical 180 and start supporting him when he returns to form. - “You can say what you want about me . . . but when things turn around, I can see how everyone shifted to the other side. And make sure you stick to the other side,” Barkley said. “Keep the same energy.” - Those words are nearly identical to ones Barkley shared in mid-January. - “For everyone outside in the world who were fans but may not be fans right now, for you guys [in the media] who are going to write something positive or mostly something negative about me, just make sure you guys stay on that side of the table when things turn around,” Barkley said at the time. - The notion that Barkley has “lost a step” is not universally agreed upon. However, there’s no denying that the second overall pick in 2018 has fallen off considerably in recent years. - Some may blame Barkley’s lack of production on injuries — a fair argument — while others stick to the “lost a step” narrative. But former Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes isn’t in either camp. Rather, he believes the cause for Barkley’s regression is internal. - - Saquon didn’t lose a step, he lost the more important piece “WANT TO” - I’m pulling for you 26 but you need to find your “WHY” again not your speed. #TogetherBlue https://t.co/cVrbCZ0MB0 - — ???????? ????? (@lt4kicks) February 13, 2022 - - - Those are some strong words and a damning indictment of Barkley from someone who spent many years on the field, winning a couple championships in the process. - Tynes doesn’t come off as someone being intentionally disrespectful, just honest in his opinion. And it’s likely one that others also silently share. - Is it true? Has Barkley just lost his love of the game and desire to be great? We certainly wouldn’t go that far as Barkley worked hard to get through various serious injuries, played hurt and grinded to get back on the field. You don’t do that if you don’t love the game — and Barkley clearly loves the game. - Unfortunately for the 25-year-old, the crickets will continue chirping until he returns to his Rookie of the Year form. And if he does, they’ll fall silent again very quickly. If not, they’ll only grow louder. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - -

Odell Beckham reflects on Giants tenure: 'Some of the best years of my life' / After being selected in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. went on to spend five years with the New York Giants. - Over the course of those five seasons, Beckham established himself as one of the most dynamic and athletic talents in football. He flashed Hall of Fame potential and Bo Jackson-like uniqueness. From a strict X’s and O’s standpoint, few were better. - But there was more to Beckham than just his football prowess. There was an overly-emotional young man behind those eyes, and that was often — but not always — misinterpreted. It also manifested itself in negative ways. - Everyone knows the various stories by now: the violent Josh Norman rivalry, the kicking net shenanigans, the dog pee incident, the Miami boat trip, the playoff collapse, the Lambeau Field wall punch, the bizarre ESPN interview with Lil Wayne and so on and so forth. - By the end of the 2018 season, the juice was no longer worth the squeeze for New York. They pulled the plug on Beckham, sending him to the Cleveland Browns as part of a large dual trade. - Since then, much has been made of the trade, who won and what Beckham’s true value to the team was. Fans themselves remain split all these years later — half the fan base believes the Giants were right to send OBJ packing, while the other half believe it was an all-time error. - Beckham, meanwhile, has waffled a bit in reflection over the years. At times, he speaks highly of the Giants and his experience there. Other times, not so much. - During the final media availability ahead of Super Bowl LVI, Beckham again took a moment to reflect on his Giants tenure. And this time around, he smiled and recalled the good. - “Those are some of the greatest years of my life,” Beckham said, via Giants.com. “To a place that gave me a home from the start and if there’s anything that I could look back on and wish different, it would be that I would be having this same opportunity with them, or not having the losing seasons and just being part of a winning culture and organization. Because I wanted that for New York just as bad as anybody. This, to me, feels like it’s for everybody in my career, just being exactly where I’m at now with the opportunity to win a Super Bowl. Just want to take full advantage of it.” - Beckham admits he’s not as close to the organization or those in it as he once was, but remains in regular contact with at least two of their players. And it’s not surprising who those players are. - “I talked to Shep (Sterling Shepard) and Saquon (Barkley) last night,” Beckham said. “Those are probably the only two that I know that are still there.

Giants add to trenches in Cynthia Frelund's first mock draft / NFL Network’s analytics expert, Cynthia Frelund, always has interesting takes. In her initial mock draft this year, Frelund doesn’t predict which player each team will take in the first round of the draft, she lists the players each should take if they want to ‘win now.’ - When it comes to the New York Giants, who hold the fifth and seventh overall selections, Frelund keeps it simple — get bigger, badder and nastier up front on each side of the ball. - Round 1, Pick 5: Ikem Ekwonu N.C. State · OT · Junior - Pro Football Focus loves what Ekwonu did in N.C. State’s run-blocking game, counting 18 big-time blocks this past season — seven more than the next closest guy. He also has experience playing both left tackle and left guard. Not only would Daniel Jones appreciate this pick, but so would Saquon Barkley (which also helps Jones). - Can’t argue here. If the Giants’ offense and Daniel Jones are ever going to turn this thing around, they’ll need to solidify the offensive line. This pick is a good start. Ekwonu is a 6-foot-4, 320-pound road grader who would compliment another former first round tackle — Andrew Thomas — to provide those ‘bookends’ that teams crave long the O-Line. - Round 1, Pick 7: George Karlaftis Purdue · Edge · Junior - Karlaftis’ résumé includes reps aligned over and outside the tackle, which means at his size (he will likely measure around 6-foot-4 at the NFL Scouting Combine) teams will consider how he might be valuable in hybrid fronts and rushing from the inside as well as the outside. His ability to both win after making contact (response win rate) and ability to pressure opposing QBs when they get outside of the pocket rank in the top 88th percentile of the 10-season sample. - Karlaftis has a Bosa-like quality to his game, and what defense couldn’t use some of that? New defensive coordinator Wink Martindale will stress quarterback pressure and an EDGE presence such as Karlaftis could make him look like a genius right off the bat. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Saquon Barkley impressed with Brian Daboll's energy / New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley has been through the ringer since being selected second overall in the 2018 NFL draft. - In addition to his well-documented injuries, which include an ACL tear, Barkley will also be on his third head coach in 2022. That comes after the Giants decided to part ways with Joe Judge in January and hire Brian Daboll shortly thereafter. - Barkley also spent time under Pat Shurmur, who most recently served as offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos. - The turnover can certainly be trying, but Barkley remains optimistic — especially after meeting and speaking with Daboll. - “I love the energy, I love the conversation I had with him,” Barkley said, via the New York Post. “I think he and the GM Joe Schoen they’re doing an amazing job right now. I can’t wait to get back in April.” - One of Barkley’s biggest takeaways is the impression that Daboll is good at relating to his players. That was an issue under previous head coach Joe Judge despite the players’ respect for him. - “I think one, the energy that he’s bringing and the conversations about the way he’s going to relate the offense to the players and make the system work for the players,” Barkley added. “Obviously I think with Joe Schoen, what he’s going to do in free agency and the draft to build the team. I think we have the talent on the team. I truly don’t think we’re that far. We just have to keep working.” - As far as Barkley himself, his early offseason has been spent rehabbing — a common theme for him in recent years — and training. But things may change in the coming weeks as the Giants work to clear salary cap space. Could he be on the move? It’s a topic that hasn’t been discussed yet. - “We never really had that conversation,” Barkley said. “It was never really brought up like if I’m leaving or if I’m not going to stay. We just had a conversation, as normal.” - In all likelihood, Barkley will return to the Giants in 2022 and once again serve as their starting running back alongside quarterback Daniel Jones. But like Jones, it may be the final opportunity for Barkley to prove he’s worthy of a long-term deal. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please

Travis Kelce: Giants got a stud in Mike Kafka / The New York Giants officially announced the hire of three

Travis Kelce: Giants got a stud in Mike Kafka / The New York Giants officially announced the hire of three coordinators on Friday, including the addition of Mike Kafka to run the offense. - Kafka comes to the Giants by way of the Kansas City Chiefs, where he spent the past five seasons serving in a variety of roles, including passing game coordinator. - The loss of Kafka stings for several members of the Chiefs, including tight end Travis Kelce. But at the same time, he believes the Giants got an absolute stud. - “The New York Giants got an absolute stud,” Kelce said, via the New York Daily News. “You’re gonna be prepared. You’re never gonna feel like you don’t have an upper hand against the opponent, and that’s something you don’t get throughout the league with every offensive coordinator. - “The schemes are gonna be difficult for defenses to understand, and it’s gonna make the jobs for the guys on the field that much easier because of his hard work.” - That is undoubtedly music to the ears of both Giants players and fans. - But perhaps more than his value on the sidelines, Kafka brings value to the locker-room. - “Man, he had pretty much the whole control of our motor, bro — he was in the room with Patrick Mahomes,” Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire said. “Honestly, Kafka was one of those guys that in the times we needed those small timely things, Kafka was the guy to come to me or go to (Kelce) and we would do things off on the side and get those small things lined up which honestly make the offense run and go. - “Kafka … he was one of those guys that kept everything together.” - Kafka may be a first-time offensive coordinator, but it’s clear the players he’s worked with not only trust him, but have relied on him. And given how dynamic and success Kansas City’s offense has been, that’s an encouraging sign for the Giants. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Judy has been everything to our family. For the past four years, we’ve helplessly watched her go from a gracious woman with a gift for conversation, hugging all the people she met and making them feel they were the most important person in the room, to losing almost all ability to speak and move,” Tom wrote. - “She used to enjoy planning family get-togethers, going for morning walks and caring for her rosebushes; however, those activities are but distant memories. Her days are now filled with lying in bed, watching the Hallmark Channel, sitting in a wheelchair in the sun and receiving round-the-clock care. And what’s worse, she is trapped inside a body that will not allow her to be the person she was.” - Despite the hardships, Tom has stayed true to his wedding day vows. He will forever remain by Judy’s side. - “Taking care of Judy is a promise I made 54 years ago when she was crazy enough to say ‘I do,'” Tom added. “I do want the players I coached in college and in the N.F.L. who thought all my crazy ideas about discipline, commitment and accountability ended when they left the field to know that is not the case. The truth is that is when those qualities matter most. A friend said we don’t get to choose our sunset, and that’s true, but I am so blessed to get to hold Judy’s hand through hers.” - “Caregiving: The Ultimate Love Story” will be only the second time Tom has opened up about Judy, her condition and the life changes they’ve experienced. But in typical Tom fashion, he will not let the moment pass without acknowledging others who are in the same position as he is, and those who have volunteered their lives and dedicated their career to

Bengals' Michael Thomas still bleeds Giants blue / Veteran defensive back Michael Thomas, now with the Cincinnati Bengals, loved his time with the New York Giants. Both on the field and off, Thomas was a great ambassador for Big Blue. - Thomas has since gone on to play for Houston Texans and, as previously mentioned, is now a member of the Super Bowl-bound Bengals. - Thomas is one of a few former Giants playing in the big game this Sunday, joining Eli Apple, B.J. Hill, Odell Beckham Jr. and others. - While Thomas has been on two teams already since his departure from Big Blue, he has made it clear this week that his heart is still with the Giants. - “Obviously I’m all about the Bengals and happy to help them get to the Super Bowl, and I hope nobody takes this the wrong way, but for one second… Go Big Blue,” Thomas told Tom Rock of Newsday. - Thomas was a captain on for the Giants and is a well-respected veteran around the league. - Thomas made a Pro Bowl with Big Blue in 2018 and because he also excelled off the field, he was nominated for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in 2018. Thomas continued his work off the field in 2020 when he was nominated for the award as a member of the Texans. - As the saying goes, “Once a Giant, always a Giant.” And Thomas clearly has a big place in his heart for the Giants. - Although Thomas is on his way to compete in the Super Bowl, his attachment to Big Blue has not been lost on him. It’s no secret of the caliber of person that Thomas is and if Giants fans are looking for a reason to root for the Bengals, Thomas may be a good reason why. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Young will be involved in “every aspect of football operations, including coordinating/organizing practice, as well as game day operations.” - “(Young will) have her hands all over the organization in terms of the coaching side,” Daboll said. “She’s with me every step of the way. She’s a rock star really, and I feel very fortunate that I get to work with her each day because she provides just a tremendous amount of support and value to really everyone, but myself the most, I would say. - “She’s smart, there’s really not a job she can’t do and a job she won’t do. That’s her mindset. Very humble, egoless, but driven, smart. I just think she’s the best.” - Daboll took a unique approach to assembling his staff. He leveraged several relationships from his time as offensive coordinator in Buffalo, but also hired coaches he had no prior relationship with. - “I think what you try to do when you’re putting together a staff, whether that be an offensive staff in a smaller form or the entire staff, you try to put together a group of people that will complement one another, whether that’s experience, whether that’s energy, whether that’s detail, whether that’s passion,” Daboll said. “You don’t want to have a cookie cutter approach and hire everybody that’s exactly the same. I think that you have to offset blind spots.” - Daboll will continue to add to his staff over the next week or two as the Giants prepare for the NFL combine later this month and free agency which begins in mid-March. - - List - - Giants spend first pick on Kyle Hamilton in latest Draft Wire mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - -

Giants make Mike Kafka, Don Martindale and Thomas McGaughey hires official / - - - Usually new head coaches in the NFL bring in the players and coaches that helped them along the way during their career. - Recently hired New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll is taking a different approach. He’s adding the best candidates he can find for his coordinator roles. - This week, the Giants announced that Thomas McGaughey will be retuning as the special teams coordinator and that they’re bringing in Mike Kafka and Don “Wink” Martindale to run the offense and defense, respectively. - Daboll, oddly, has never worked with any of the three men he’s entrusting in these roles. In fact, he has hardly any relationship at all with them. - “I’ve known them, but I wouldn’t say a relationship,” Daboll said on Friday. “I’ve known them throughout the years just being in the league.” - What Daboll has done with these roles is hire the best people available. He was, however, specific in what he wanted in his top lieutenants. - “What we were looking for was intelligence, good communicators, good teachers that understood and were experts in their respective areas, and good teammates,” Daboll said. - Most Giants fans are relieved that McGaughey is returning. He has been one the top in his field the past decade and has done a fine job for Big Blue the past few seasons under both Pat Shurmur and Joe Judge. - Martindale headed one of the NFL’s top defenses in Baltimore and has a reputation for units that have success getting to the quarterback. - Kafka comes from Kansas City and along with Daboll, are expected to revitalize the Giants’ 31st-ranked offense. Kafka coached Patrick Mahomes while Daboll mentored Josh Allen, two of the very best quarterbacks in the NFL these days. - “I think everything we do on offense will be a collaboration,” he said. “I think we’ve hired good coaches, put together a good staff and now – I can’t compare either one of those quarterbacks or what they’ve done with the job that we have to do. We have a lot of work in front of us, and we look forward to building the New York Giants offense.” - - List - - Giants spend first pick on Kyle Hamilton in latest Draft Wire mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter

B.J. Hill on Giants trade: 'God had a plan for me' / Cincinnati Bengals defensive end B.J. Hill is finally

B.J. Hill on Giants trade: 'God had a plan for me' / Cincinnati Bengals defensive end B.J. Hill is finally finding his way in the NFL. After three seasons with the New York Giants that saw him go from potential star to afterthought, Hill is in the spotlight as a key contributor along the Bengals’ offensive line. - Before the season, the Giants traded Hill, an impending free agent, to the Bengals in exchange for center Billy Price — a trade that would prove to be vital tot he Giants’ season after losing starting center Nick Gates to a fractured leg early in the year. - But for Hill, it was a new beginning after getting bounced around by the Giants’ coaching staff for three seasons. - “I’m truly blessed to be in this spot,” Hill said Wednesday as per NJ.com. “It was a blessing to be with the Giants. I came a long way. I knew God had a plan for me the whole time. I just had to be patient. At first, when I figured out I was going to get traded, I was down. I didn’t want to leave, because I knew this place [with the Giants] for going on four years.” - Hill was third-round pick out of North Carolina State back in 2018, selected with one of the picks the Giants received in the trade with Tampa Bay for Jason Pierre-Paul. After a solid rookie season that saw Hill set a Giants’ rookie record for sacks (5.5) in 12 starts, he lost playing time to Dexter Lawrence and Leonard Williams and became a back-of-the-rotation player. - Hill rebounded in 2021 with 5.5 sacks this season. - “It was a great trade,” he said. “It just all worked out. I’m so thankful for all of this happening. I love Cincinnati. Hopefully, I’m here for a long time.” - He might, who knows? Hill will be a free agent next month and likely will be testing the waters. He is yet another success story of Giants player who go on to greener pastures after their days in blue. - - List - - Giants spend first pick on Kyle Hamilton in latest Draft Wire mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top

Ex-Giants cheering for Odell Beckham Jr. in Super Bowl / When the Las Angeles Rams take on the Cincinnati Bengals

Ex-Giants cheering for Odell Beckham Jr. in Super Bowl / When the Las Angeles Rams take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI, there will be a distinct New York Giants feel. - On Cincy’s side, cornerback Eli Apple and defensive lineman B.J. Hill have been showing out. On their shoulders, the Bengals have reached their first-ever Super Bowl. - Across the field will be the Rams and superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., whose career revitalization has been on full display. And his dream of winning a championship ring is just 60 minutes away. - For many current and former members of the Giants, that creates a rooting conundrum. On one hand, they’d very much like to see Hill win a title. On the other hand, many feel OBJ is the most deserving of all. - “Excited for him, man,” cornerback Prince Amukamara told the New York Post. “The thing with Odell is that he knew he still had a lot of ball left in him. I knew, most people knew. But, if we’re being real, his going from team to team and then the performance not being there, you kind of ask ‘Dang, is this it for Odell?’ And I’m sure Odell doesn’t want to just be known for ‘the catch,’ even though that’s not a bad thing to be known for. But to have ‘Super Bowl champion’ next to your name, it’s awesome. I’m sure excited for him.” - And Amukamara isn’t the only former Giant cheering on OBJ. - “I think he’s one of the guys that’s misunderstood in this league,” offensive lineman Justin Pugh said. “Definitely cheering for him this Sunday.” - Even defensive lineman Mathias Kiwanuka, who played for just one season alongside Beckham, is pleased to see how things are playing out. - “The lesson is that not everybody who appears to be divisive or not a team player is actually that way,” Kiwanuka said. “When I played with him he was young and you could say some of the things he did were immature but he’s grown a lot. I applaud him for being headstrong and figuring out a way to get himself and his family in the best situation possible.” - Winning the Super Bowl would be redemption for Beckham, who insists he’s not basking in the glory of proving so many people wrong. However he got to L.A. is irrelevant — he’s there now and one step away from fulfilling a life-long dream. - - List - - Giants spend first pick on Kyle Hamilton in latest Draft Wire mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign

Giants unlikely to appear on HBO's 'Hard Knocks' in 2022 / New York Giants co-owner John Mara is adamant that his team will never appear on the hit HBO docuseries “Hard Knocks.” And thanks in part to another major turnover, it’s a problem he won’t even have to worry about in 2022. - With general manager Dave Gettleman retiring and head coach Joe Judge getting the boot, the Giants have ushered in another reset. Joe Schoen will now serve as general manager, while Brian Daboll has been hired as head coach. - Based on NFL rules, that eliminates the Giants from “Hard Knocks” contention. - As a reminder, here is the league’s criteria for eligibility: - - No teams with a first-year head coach. - No teams who were in the playoffs in the last two seasons. - No teams which have been featured on “Hard Knocks” in the last 10 years. - - The Giants, obviously, do not fit the basic criteria based on the hiring of Daboll. And although the NFL does have a “forced inclusion” clause it could use in the event no team volunteers, Big Blue is not among those the league can demand appear. - In fact, the only way the Giants could appear on “Hard Knocks” in 2022 is if no one else volunteers except for them. And let’s be honest, that’s not going to happen. - “That announcement (to appear on “Hard Knocks”) will come,” Mara told the New York Daily News in 2010, “when I’m next to my father in Gates of Heaven cemetery.” - At last check, John Mara’s heart is still very much beating. Accordingly, you can put to an end any notion that the Giants will be featured on HBO next season. - - List - - Giants spend first pick on Kyle Hamilton in latest Draft Wire mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

ESPN extends, expands Eli and Peyton's 'ManningCast' / Retired New York Giants legend Eli Manning and his older brother, Peyton

ESPN extends, expands Eli and Peyton's 'ManningCast' / Retired New York Giants legend Eli Manning and his older brother, Peyton Manning, took the NFL world by storm in 2021. Their alternate version of the ESPN Monday Night Football broadcast — known as the ManningCast — became one of the most influential shows on television. - The ManningCast transcended the game of football and established itself as a must-watch pop culture phenomenon. - For that reason, it should come as little surprise that ESPN has opted not only to extend the ManningCast through the 2024 regular season, but expand upon it. - ESPN and The Walt Disney Company announced earlier this week that they’ve reached an agreement with the Mannings and Peyton’s Omaha Productions to expand the broadcast into golf, UFC and college football coverage. - The extension will add a fourth year (through 2024 season) for Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli, featuring a 10-game annual slate of alternative productions to ESPN’s traditional Monday Night Football telecast. Additionally, the agreement calls for alternative presentations (with other hosts) for UFC, college football and golf to be produced by Omaha Productions in collaboration with ESPN. - For each of those sport categories, there will be multiple events per year showcasing alternative viewing options. For college football, the commitment will be comprised of regular-season and post-season matchups, including the College Football Playoff National Championship. For golf and UFC, select events will be included annually. Hosts for each sport will be named at a future date. - “We couldn’t be more proud of Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli and the partnership we’ve developed with Peyton, Eli and the team at Omaha Productions,” Jimmy Pitaro, Chairman of ESPN and Sports Content, said. “This new agreement allows us to deepen our relationship and explore original concepts to spread that magic to other sports and events. Ultimately, this will help grow our audience by providing fans with even more creative options that they crave.” - There were, of course, some hiccups during the live ManningCast over the course of its first season, but that really just added to the watchability. Eli Manning flipping the bird? Marshawn Lynch dropping some F-bombs? Peyton’s audio cutting out and visibly frustrating him? Sold. - “I’ve always loved talking football with my brother, and it was even more fun to do it while watching ESPN’s Monday Night Football,” said Peyton Manning. “Eli and I are excited to sign on for another season, and the entire Omaha team is looking forward to producing MegaCasts that celebrate other sports.” - The nine-episode ManningCast averaged 1.6 million viewers per episode in 2021, shattering ESPN’s alternative broadcast records in the process. Their most-watched episode came in Week 8 when the New York Giants visited the Kansas City Chiefs. That broadcast drew a whopping 1.96 million viewers. - - Gallery - Photos: Eli Manning through the years - - - - - - view 367 images -

Giants expected to hire Mike Groh, John Egorugwu / Brian Daboll’s coaching staff for the New York Giants continues to take shape with new assistants being added seemingly daily. - Following the hires of both Tony Sparano Jr. and Andre Patterson on Thursday morning, the Giants added two more on Thursday night. - The first, reports Art Stapleton of USA TODAY, is former Indianapolis Colts assistant Mike Groh, who will take over as the Giants’ wide receivers coach. - - #Giants are hiring Mike Groh to be their WR coach on Brian Daboll’s staff, per sources. - — Art Stapleton (@art_stapleton) February 10, 2022 - - - The Giants had interviewed former wide receivers coach Adam Henry, but decided to not hire him.

Before that, he was the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles from 2018-2019. - Groh, the son of former New York Jets head coach Al Groh, was also on Doug Pederson’s Super Bowl winning staff as the wide receivers coach. - Meanwhile, Bruce Feldman of The Athletic reports that the Giants will also hire former Vanderbilt linebackers coach John Egorugwu. - - SOURCE: Vandy LB coach John Egorugwu is expected to join the Giants coaching staff.

Steve Mariucci: Jury still out on Giants QB Daniel Jones / New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is entering his fourth year as the team’s starter and, depending on how things pan out, it could be his last. - New general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll are willing to give Jones one more shot to succeed this season after owner John Mara publicly admitted that the team did ‘everything to screw this kid up‘ his first three years in the league. - True. Jones has had to operate under an unstable framework that saw the Giants go through two head coaches, three offensive coordinators and an unusually high amount of injuries and illnesses. Jones himself missed games due to injury each the last three seasons. - Former NFL head coach and current NFL Network analyst, Steve Mariucci, chimed in on Jones’ prospects of success as he entered the final year of his rookie contract. That is, unless the Giants exercise his fifth-year option. - “Like any quarterback you have to have a supporting cast,” Mariucci told Newsday this week. “It was a shame that Saquon Barkley was hurt and it’s a shame that they had some offensive line failures. That roster needs to improve, let’s face it.” - The Giants have very little cap room to go on a free agent splurge this offseason, but they do have quite a bit of draft capital that they can utilize to change the direction and face of the club. - “There’s nothing fair,” Mariucci said, “It’s just how it is. He’s got to do the best he can with what they have.” - And what they have is very little at the moment. That could change is Schoen can bring in an impactful rookie class. They can improve their sagging offensive line significantly through the draft as this is a strong class for ‘hog mollies.’ - “If Daniel Jones has a better offensive line, has some more weapons on offense, maybe,” Mariucci said. “And then it comes down to him not playing catch-up so the defense has to keep him in games or keep it close so he is not having to throw the ball so much. - “We’ll see how that goes. The jury is still out. I’m rooting for him.” - So are we all, but expect the Giants to have a strong Plan B if Jones continues to falter. - - List - - Giants to hire Don Martindale as defensive coordinator: 7 things to know - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top

Giants' Joe Schoen open to trading up or down in 2022 NFL draft / The New York Giants currently have

Giants' Joe Schoen open to trading up or down in 2022 NFL draft / The New York Giants currently have nine selections in the 2022 NFL draft, and newly hired general manager Joe Schoen sees the value in each of those spots. - But does that mean Schoen is unwilling to wheel and deal? Not necessarily. - Although Schoen is adamant that he wants as many at-bats as possible, he’s leaving the door open to some potential trades. And that’s something that could go in either direction — up or down. - “I would say where we are right now, as many at-bats as you can get, as many swings as you can get, I think that’s important where we are as a team,” Schoen told Giants.com. “Again, I don’t think you’re ever one player away. But if it’s the second round and there’s a player you gave a first-round grade to and you think that highly of him, then I think you go get him. - “I’m open to moving up, moving back, whatever it may be, as long as I can sleep good at night with the decision that I make. If I move back and I end up losing out on a player I like, I have to be able to live with that, or stay and take a guy or go up and get him. Again, if you’re drafting good players and you’re confident and convicted in your decision, then you’ll sleep good at night.” - Given the Giants’ many needs and Schoen’s determination to clear $40 million in salary cap space, trading down as opposed to up seems more likely. If the Giants were able to trade down and add to their draft assets, it would provide Schoen a few more of those desired at-bats. - Still, there remains a possibility that Schoen will target a specific player early on that may require a trade up. After all, many of the top offensive tackles seems to be trending in a positive direction and there may be an early rush to draft them. - Either way, Schoen is determined to find players that fit a specific mold. - “Smart, tough and dependable,” Schoen said of the traits he weeks in prospects. “Guys that are smart, tough and dependable that care about football, that care about their teammates. It’s not so much about the glitz and the glamor that comes with it. But have some leadership to you when maybe things are going wrong or teammates aren’t doing it well, someone that will right the ship and get the team headed back in the right direction. Those are the types of players that we’re looking at. - “The more guys we get that buy into the culture and have the common goal of winning a championship in mind, and through our process are paying attention to that on a daily basis, the better off we’re going to be.” - - List - - Giants to

Ex-Giant Tiki Barber responds to Stephen A. Smith's 'warning' / Shortly after Brian Flores announced his lawsuit against the NFL

Ex-Giant Tiki Barber responds to Stephen A. Smith's 'warning' / Shortly after Brian Flores announced his lawsuit against the NFL and several of its teams, including the New York Giants, the conversation over racism and systemically racist hiring practices grew loud. - Among the first to sound off was ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith, who took direct aim at the Giants. - “Let me say this to the New York Giants. As an organization, when it comes to black coaches, I don’t believe a damn word you have to say,” Smith said on First Take. “There’s no one more incriminating than the New York Giants when it comes to black coaches. We are in the year 2022. All of these years, damn near a century for crying out loud, there is one single franchise that has not had a black coach. That is the New York Giants.” - Smith’s comments prompted retired Giants running back Tiki Barber, who now works as a radio host for WFAN, to offer an emotional and emphatic defense of his former team. - “I can’t sit here, with conviction, like Stephen A., who doesn’t know anybody in the Giants’ organization and claim that they’re a racist organization. I would never do that. The only reason I would do that is because I’m trying to make a point, and my point is that Brian Flores is trying to make a point,” Barber said. - “The fact that the Maras, and I always said this with the Tisches as well, they embraced me like I was family. I know them intimately, so when I say I don’t believe they’re racist it’s because I know they’re not … I know they’re not a racist organization.” - Those comments did not sit well with Smith, who was quick to fire back at Barber with a stern “warning” — something others have referred to as a “threat.” - “Tiki, you don’t know who the hell I know. I’ve been a journalist for almost 30 years, I know a few people within the Giants organization,” Smith said. “I know a lot of stuff about you, my brother, that I would never say because I have the decency not to say those things. - “Chill out. Watch yourself and know who you’re talking about. That’s all I want to say.” - During Tuesday’s edition of Tiki and Tierney, Barber addressed Smith’s “warning” and offered an apology of sorts. But not before taking one last swipe at ESPN’s shock jock. - “It is not worth my emotional energy to get bent out of shape about something that I have no control over,” Barber said. “I have much respect for Stephen A. Smith. He is the prominent Black journalist in sports right now, so if he felt affronted by a conversation that I was having — that wasn’t actually about him. It was about how we have used and hijacked racism to make excuses for failing diversity initiatives — then I apologize to Stephen

Michael Irvin warned Jason Garrett he couldn't fix the Giants / Two weeks after the Dallas Cowboys allowed the contract

Michael Irvin warned Jason Garrett he couldn't fix the Giants / Two weeks after the Dallas Cowboys allowed the contract of head coach Jason Garrett to expire back in January of 2020, he was hired by the New York Giants as their offensive coordinator. - Garrett was excited and grateful for the opportunity, but several in his circle didn’t share in that optimism. One such Negative Nancy came by way of retired Cowboys legend and current NFL analyst, Michael Irvin. - Irvin believed the Giants were a lost cause — something beyond Garrett’s scope of repair — and that the coach would merely be spinning his wheels in East Rutherford. - “I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t know about that one, man,'” Irvin recalled to Newsday. “He’s such a fighter. He’s a winner. He wanted to go and do it. He said ‘I’m a coach, it’s what I do. I can fix it. I can fix it.’ I said to him then, ‘I don’t know if you can fix it.’ - “And I’m saying this to you now: ‘I don’t know if I can fix it.'” - Irvin certainly couldn’t fix the team but that’s a different sidebar. Garrett, of course, would have had much better odds at fixing the Giants given his extensive experience as a coach, but that’s not how things panned out. - Garrett was let go midway through his second season as Giants’ offensive coordinator, and justifiably so. The offense took a major step back from Pat Shurmur’s bunch and were barely functioning on an NFL level. But even following his departure, things only got worse. - In the end, not only was Garrett fired, but head coach Joe Judge and much of his staff were sent packing, too. - So, how can the Giants be fixed? That’s a question Irvin still can’t answer even after Garrett’s attempt. - “Dude,” Irvin said, “we don’t have the time to go through all of that.” - Irvin may not, but general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll do. They’re now tasked with doing what Dave Gettleman, Judge and Garrett could not. - - List - - Giants to hire Don Martindale as defensive coordinator: 7 things to know - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll

Could Rob Ryan, Bryan Cox join Giants' coaching staff? / The New York Giants are moving at a rapid pace

Could Rob Ryan, Bryan Cox join Giants' coaching staff? / The New York Giants are moving at a rapid pace now, compiling Brian Daboll’s coaching staff one piece at a time. - Under Daboll will be coordinators Mike Kafka, Don “Wink” Martindale and Thomas McGaughey. From there, the staff will spread out like a spiderweb, including several returning assistants and several new ones. - But the Giants aren’t done just yet. There are still more assistant hires to make and with Martindale now in tow, a few names may be more interesting than others. Case in point: Rob Ryan, Bryan Cox and Drew Wilkins. - Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network reports that both Ryan and Cox are “expected” to join the Giants, while Wilkins is also garnering serious consideration. - - Giants' defensive staff under new defensive coordinator Don "Wink" Martindale expected to include Rob Ryan and Bryan Cox, per league sources. Drew Wilkins, former Ravens outside linebackers coach, is also under consideration for Giants' staff - — Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) February 8, 2022 - - - Ryan, the son of Buddy Ryan and twin brother of Rex Ryan, is certainly the most interesting name of the bunch. His coaching career dates back to 1987 with his most recent role coming as inside linebackers coach of the Baltimore Ravens under the aforementioned Martindale. - Prior to his season with the Ravens, Ryan spent a year with the Washington Football Team in 2019 but has otherwise been away from the game since 2016. - In addition to Washington and Baltimore, Ryan has also spent time with the Arizona Cardinals (1994-1995), New England Patriots (2000-2003), Oakland Raiders (2004-2008), Cleveland Browns (2009-2010), Dallas Cowboys (2011-2012), New Orleans Saints (2013-2015) and Buffalo Bills (2016). In most of those roles, Ryan served as defensive coordinator. - Cox, who was a quality player before he turned to coaching, has been out of the league since 2017. He coached the Atlanta Falcons’ defensive line from 2014-2016 and spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dolphins, Browns and New York Jets prior to that. - Wilkins, meanwhile, spent the past 12 seasons with the Ravens, most recently serving as their outside linebackers coach. He was informed last week that he would not be retained in Baltimore. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for

Giants add Charles Cross, Kyle Hamilton in latest ESPN mock draft / The New York Giants have two top-10 picks

Giants add Charles Cross, Kyle Hamilton in latest ESPN mock draft / The New York Giants have two top-10 picks in the 2022 NFL draft and there are several ways they can go about using them. - With new general manager Joe Schoen and new head coach Brian Daboll leading the charge, they’ll have the chance to build some foundational pieces with these two picks. - Here’s who ESPN’s Jordan Reid sees them selecting in his latest mock draft: - Round 1, Pick 5: New York Giants: Charles Cross, OT, Mississippi State - “Andrew Thomas, the No. 4 pick in the 2020 draft, has turned into the left tackle the Giants envisioned, but they still need help across multiple spots along the offensive line. Newly hired general manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll seem to be on the same page with wanting to set up quarterback Daniel Jones for success. That could mean adding a right tackle opposite Thomas in order to keep Jones clean in the pocket.” - Round 1, Pick 7: New York Giants (via CHI): Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame - “Hamilton is my top-ranked prospect in this draft, and although safety isn’t a premium position or an immediate need for the Giants (though Jabrill Peppers is set to become a free agent), taking the best available prospect is the way to go here. The Giants already have some talent in the secondary with James Bradberry and Xavier McKinney, but Hamilton is an X factor who could unlock everyone on the back end because of his versatility. This could be seen as a luxury pick for Schoen, but Hamilton is that good.” - Good use of the picks, in my opinion but I would not be surprised if Joe Schoen entertains a trade down with one of these if the value isn’t there. In this case, it was, but Hamilton could be long gone by No. 7. - - RelatedReport: Patriots expected to hire former Giants coach Joe Judge as offensive assistantNew ESPN E60 will detail Whitney Houston's Super Bowl XXV National Anthem performanceSouth Carolina hiring ex-Giants assistant Jody Wright - - List - - How to bet on the Big Game in Colorado and New Jersey - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive

New ESPN E60 will detail Whitney Houston's Super Bowl XXV National Anthem performance / Whitney Houston’s rendition of the National Anthem prior to a Super Bowl XXV matchup between the New York Giants and Buffalo Bills is widely regarded as the greatest ever. The performance transcends both sports and music, and stole the show on the biggest stage. - Now, 31 years removed from that all-time moment and 10 years removed from Houston’s tragic death, ESPN will focus an E60 on that magical Super Bowl performance. - Whitney’s Anthem will premiere on Friday, Feb. 11, at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN and will be available afterward via streaming on demand on ESPN+ and the ESPN App. Houston died on Feb. 11, 2012. - Super Bowl XXV was played January 27, 1991, in Tampa between the New York Giants and Buffalo Bills. The event occurred just days after U.S. and Allied forces launched Operation Desert Storm in response to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. The country was on edge. - In the half-hour E60, the story of the anthem is told by the people who were intimately involved. They include Houston’s musical director; the NFL executive who almost rejected Houston’s rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner;” NFL Hall of Famers who were feet away from the performance; legendary sports announcers who thought the game would be the most memorable moment; and a Desert Storm military veteran who was watching Houston sing from the other side of the planet. As Jeremy Schaap reports, sports, politics and music converged in that unforgettable moment. - Former Giants who will appear on the E60 include Carl Banks and Ottis Anderson, who was named the Super Bowl XXV MVP. - The Bills will also be represented by way of Andre Reed, Jim Kelly and Bruce Smith. - A trailer for the E60 can be found below: - - We’d love to say this is a “must watch” for Giants and Bills fans but in reality, it’s a must watch for all NFL fans, music fans and Americans. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Odell Beckham Jr. on Giants exit: 'I got booted' / Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. took part in a 45-minute Super Bowl LVI interview on Monday night and nearly escaped without saying anything controversial. - “Nearly escaped” would be the key words there. - Just as the marathon interview was nearing its end, a Zoom moderator called on NFL UK reporter Osi Umenyiora. Beckham’s reaction was a foreshadowing of what was to come. - “Uh oh,” Beckham said. - Umenyiora promptly reminded Beckham of an hour-long heart-to-heart they once had in which Osi pressed OBJ not to leave New York. But Beckham rejected that phrasing and told Umenyiora that’s now how his departure from the New York Giants played out. - “First, I didn’t leave, I got booted,” Beckham said. “Second, it is a great feeling to be here at this moment.” - Although Beckham maintains he was essentially kicked out of East Rutherford, he also admits he conducted himself in a way that didn’t accurately represent who he was. - “When I was younger, I definitely did things that could have helped [me] not be seen for who I truly am,” Beckham said, via the New York Post. “But I also feel like there was a lot more just trying to create a story because it’s easier to sell drama than it is to write up good things about somebody.” - The relationship between Beckham and the Giants began deteriorating early on. He was unable to keep his composure on the field and that eventually began spilling over onto the sideline, where his antics were a weekly attraction. Then came the Miami boat trip, the bizarre ESPN interview with Lil Wayne and the attacks on quarterback Eli Manning. - Despite it all, Beckham insists he’s now a more mature version of himself. And the satisfaction he’s currently experiencing stems from the hard work it takes to succeed, and not necessarily in the fact that he’s proven so many people — including the Giants — wrong. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Stephen A. Smith takes personal aim at Tiki Barber over Giants defense / Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores

Stephen A. Smith takes personal aim at Tiki Barber over Giants defense / Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores filed a lawsuit against the NFL and its teams last week, alleging that they have racist hiring practices that hinder the advancement of minorities. Specifically, Flores singled out the New York Giants for a “sham” process. - In the aftermath of Flores’ accusations, ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith lined up and took his swing at the Giants. - “Let me say this to the New York Giants. As an organization, when it comes to black coaches, I don’t believe a damn word you have to say,” Smith said last Wednesday. “There’s no one more incriminating than the New York Giants when it comes to black coaches. We are in the year 2022. All of these years, damn near a century for crying out loud, there is one single franchise that has not had a black coach. That is the New York Giants.” - Retired running back Tiki Barber took exception to Smith’s comments and any suggestion that the Giants are a racist organization. He emotionally and emphatically defended them. - “I can’t sit here, with conviction, like Stephen A., who doesn’t know anybody in the Giants’ organization and claim that they’re a racist organization. I would never do that. The only reason I would do that is because I’m trying to make a point, and my point is that Brian Flores is trying to make a point,” Barber said. - “The fact that the Maras, and I always said this with the Tisches as well, they embraced me like I was family. I know them intimately, so when I say I don’t believe they’re racist it’s because I know they’re not … I know they’re not a racist organization.” - On Monday’s edition on First Take, Smith did not hold back. He went after Barber with personal shots and what some have deemed threats. - - Stephen A threatening Tiki Barber pic.twitter.com/qlTKastDmu - — CJ Fogler AKA Perc70 #BlackLivesMatter (@cjzero) February 7, 2022 - - - “Tiki, you don’t know who the hell I know. I’ve been a journalist for almost 30 years, I know a few people within the Giants organization,” Smith said. “I know a lot of stuff about you, my brother, that I would never say because I have the decency not to say those things. - “Chill out. Watch yourself and know who you’re talking about. That’s all I want to say.” - Barber has not yet responded to Smith’s comments, but you can imagine a comment or two will be issued on Tuesday’s edition of Tiki and Tierney. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - -

Giants announce hiring of Brandon Brown as assistant GM / The New York Giants have made the hiring of former Philadelphia Eagles director of player personnel Brandon Brown as their new assistant general manager official. - In a statement from general manager Joe Shoen, he praised Brown, who he says “has a strong reputation around the league as a leader, evaluator and consensus builder.” - “Brandon has a strong reputation around the league as a leader, evaluator and consensus builder,” said Schoen. “He is a tireless worker who has experience in pro personnel and college scouting. He has a progressive approach to the evaluation process. Brandon will help lead the player personnel department as well as assist across the entire football operation.” - The 33-year-old assistant general manager spent the last five seasons with the Eagles and worked his way up to director of player personnel in 2021. He will now be tasked with aiding in righting the ship in East Rutherford. - In addition to announcing the hiring of Brown, the Giants also revealed they would not be retaining co-director of player personnel Mark Koncz, who had been with the team since 2018. - As the Giants continue to put together their new regime, the team still has some positions to fill, including at defensive coordinator. New York has already interviewed several candidates for the position. - - RelatedGiants' Kadarius Toney named an under-the-radar trade candidateAndrew Whitworth: Giants turned me down in favor of Ereck FlowersDeland McCullough turned down Giants after very lucrative offer - - List - - 5 DC options Giants could consider to replace Patrick Graham - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - Sign up - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - An error has occured - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Kadarius Toney named an under-the-radar trade candidate / The New York Giants will need to clear salary cap space

Giants' Kadarius Toney named an under-the-radar trade candidate / The New York Giants will need to clear salary cap space this offseason and general manager Joe Schoen has already placed that number at roughly $40 million. - That’s a significant amount of space to clear, so it likely means several big-name players will either be traded or released outright. - Giants Wire has already broken down several names who could receive the boot one way or another, but what about the under-the-radar players? Who else might get packaged up and shipped off? - That’s a question both posed and answered by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, who broke down 20 under-the-radar trade candidates. And among them was Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney. - Kadarius Toney, WR, New York Giants - Signed through: 2024 - He’s cheap (entering second year of rookie deal) and incredibly talented, but new general manager Joe Schoen didn’t draft him. Dave Gettleman did. So assessing his value doesn’t hurt anything. “He’s either going to be the best receiver in the league, or it completely won’t work out, and I’m not sure there’s much in-between,” an NFC coach said. “He’s electric with the ball, but there are still some concerns about focus and availability.” - It’s hard to envision a scenario in which the Giants further deplete their roster to limited financial gain. Trading Toney wouldn’t clear much space, but it would create an additional void at wide receiver. And why not see what head coach Brian Daboll & Co. can get out of him? - But the Giants do have other players who are more realistic trade options. Case in point: running back Saquon Barkley. - Saquon Barkley, RB, New York Giants - Signed through: 2022 - It might be time. It has been four years. Barkley has high-quality traits, but the Giants need to exhaust all options for their rebuild. Enough teams are still enamored by his skill set that they could be interested in a potential deal. Many still view Barkley as a top-shelf tailback when healthy. He’s due $7.2 million on a fifth-year option, and doing a long-term deal in New York for the 2023 free agent just doesn’t make sense for either side. Barkley in San Francisco’s offense would be fun, and Tampa Bay could have an opening if free agent Leonard Fournette signs elsewhere. - How much would teams be willing to part with for a highly paid, oft-injured running back? Probably not much, but this is a scenario we could certainly see playing out. - Finally, Fowler listed one more Giant on his list: cornerback James Bradberry. - James Bradberry, CB, New York Giants - Signed through: 2022 - Yes, another Giant on the list. Bradberry has battled in his two years in New York, producing four interceptions during a tough 2021 season for the whole franchise. He’s a solid starting option for several defenses. But at $13.4 million in 2022 salary with a $21.8 million cap hit, Bradberry is an

Andrew Whitworth: Giants turned me down in favor of Ereck Flowers / Once upon a time, veteran offensive lineman Andrew

Andrew Whitworth: Giants turned me down in favor of Ereck Flowers / Once upon a time, veteran offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth called the New York Giants and informed them he’d like to play for them. Why? Because he knew quarterback Eli Manning and wanted to help shore up the O-Line in front of him. - But Whitworth was rejected. - In a phone call to the Giants, Whitworth was informed — likely by general manager Jerry Reese — that the team intended to stick with Ereck Flowers, their 2015 firth-round pick, instead. - “I actually had reached out and wanted to be a Giant just because I knew Eli Manning really well,” Whitworth told the New York Post. “But they kinda said no because they thought they were gonna continue with Ereck Flowers at left tackle, and that obviously didn’t end up working the next year. Once we got into it and realized that wasn’t an option, the Jets showed some interest but it wasn’t really something that I was that interested in doing.” - As Whitworth notes, things did not work out with Flowers. He was a complete bust with the Giants, who released him at the conclusion of the 2018 regular season after he was benched in favor of Chad Wheeler. - Things went much differently for Whitworth, who was named a First Team All-Pro in 2017. He also earned a Pro Bowl nod that season and then helped lead the Los Angeles Rams to the Super Bowl in 2018. Although they lost, Whitworth hung around and now finds himself heading back to The Big Game this year. - Even at the age of 40, Whitworth continues to plug away and play at an extremely high level. The Giants, meanwhile, have relentlessly cycled through offensive tackles and will need another this offseason. - Hindsight may be 20/20, but it’s these type of personnel decisions that have the Giants in the state they’re currently in. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Eli Manning doesn't believe Tom Brady will get into broadcasting / Former New York Giants quarterback turned ubiquitous television and endorsement icon does not believe that the recently retired Tom Brady will follow him and brother Peyton Manning into the realm of analyzing football on TV. - When out in New York City, Eli Manning was approached by TMZ about the potential of Brady joining the broadcast booth. Manning’s answer was straight and swift. - “He’s not going into broadcasting,” Manning told TMZ. “He’s too good.” - That seems about right. Very few of the great quarterbacks in league history have gone into broadcasting. Recently, we have seen the Manning brothers and Drew Brees assume part time roles on football broadcasts and Troy Aikman in FOX Sports’ top NFL booth analyst but mostly the great passer of our time stay away from television analysis. - Brady appears to be above that as well plus he just doesn’t really have the temperament for it. Aikman is a laid-back personality while it’s hard to many of the Alphas such as Dan Marino, John Elway and Brett Favre talking X’s and O’s during games. - We do wish, however, that CBS would either dump or train Tony Romo to do a better job on their broadcasts. His performance during the AFC Championship Game was a subpar effort. - - RelatedGiants take versatile OL, EDGE in Pro Football Network mock draftGiants' Brian Daboll pumps the brakes on Daniel Jones, Josh Allen comparisonReport: Giants' Kevin Sherrer, Burton Burns not expected to return - - List - - 5 DC options Giants could consider to replace Patrick Graham - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants take versatile OL, EDGE in Pro Football Network mock draft / The New York Giants hold the fifth and seventh overall selections in the upcoming NFL draft and there are various opinions regarding how they should use those picks to upgrade their sagging roster. - The folks at Pro Football Network have chimed in with their opinion in their latest mock draft. Here’s who PFN’s Joe Broback has the Giants taking. - 5) New York Giants: Kenyon Green, G, Texas A&M - “Kenyon Green‘s versatility adds to his draft value, and the Giants need help on the offensive line. Green played both guard and tackle for the Aggies, showing that he can dominate at either position. That’s something not many other players in the draft can provide, and the Giants won’t wait long to scoop him up.” - A no-brainer. The Giants need both talent and depth on the offensive line and they get that with one fell swoop here. If they can grab a tackle and a center in this draft, it will be considered a total success. The Giants need to start winning in the trenches again and this is a good start. - 7) New York Giants (from CHI): David Ojabo, EDGE, Michigan - “Drafting David Ojabo this high carries some risk, but there’s a ton of upside to like in his game. He might not be a plug-and-play guy, but his natural talent is something that teams will covet. An explosive player with great strength on the edge, Ojabo is worth the potential payoff.” - I’m a Michigan guy but I’m going have to say no to Ojabo right here. He’s a boom-or-bust player and the Giants have busted more than boomed with similar picks. The Giants can’t mess this up by speculating. - Ojabo is likely to be a solid NFL player but is a bit of a reach at No. 7 overall. What they need here is a “plug-and-play” guy, perhaps another offensive lineman, or even trade this pick for more capital. - - RelatedGiants' Brian Daboll pumps the brakes on Daniel Jones, Josh Allen comparisonReport: Giants' Kevin Sherrer, Burton Burns not expected to returnReport: Giants interview Jim Schwartz for DC vacancy - - List - - 5 DC options Giants could consider to replace Patrick Graham - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - -

Giants' Brian Daboll pumps the brakes on Daniel Jones, Josh Allen comparison / After Brian Daboll was hired as the head coach of the New York Giants, fans are hoping he can have the same success with Daniel Jones that he had with Josh Allen while serving as the offensive coordinator of the Buffalo Bills. - However, during an interview with “Good Morning Football” on NFL Network, Daboll pumped the brakes on any such comparison. - “I think it’s unfair right now,” Daboll said “Josh and I were together for four years. It took a village to help Josh — credit first goes to Josh Allen and his abilities and his desires and his competitiveness.” - “We got a long way to go,” Daboll added. - There was some thought that the Giants might move on from Jones with a new regime in place, but general manager Joe Shoen threw his support behind the former No. 6 overall pick upon taking the job. - - “There’s not a person who’s said a bad word about his work ethic, passion (or) desire to win,” Shoen said of Jones. “You got to have those traits as a quarterback. The kid has physical abilities. Arm strength, he’s athletic, he can run. So I’m really excited to work with Daniel. When the new staff gets in here, we’ll build an offense around Daniel to accentuate what he does best.” - With the Giants intent on moving forward with Jones, they can only hope Daboll has even close to the same kind of success with him as he did with Allen. - - RelatedReport: Giants' Kevin Sherrer, Burton Burns not expected to returnGiants request to interview Steelers’ Teryl Austin for DC vacancyDerrick Ward: Bill Belichick 'has a ton of power with the Giants' - - List - - Giants expected to hire Mike Kafka as OC: 7 things to know - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Derrick Ward: Bill Belichick 'has a ton of power with the Giants' / We know Bill Belichick is the czar

Derrick Ward: Bill Belichick 'has a ton of power with the Giants' / We know Bill Belichick is the czar of the New England Patriots and has the power, calling all the shots. But does he also have influence on other teams, let’s say, the New York Giants for instance? - Former Giants running back Derrick Ward believes so. - In an interview with Christopher Russo on Sirius XM’s Mad Dog Radio, Ward had some interesting comments on Belichick’s ongoing relationship with the Giants. - “Bill Belichick, I’m pretty sure he still has the keys to Giants Stadium. To this day,” Ward told Russo as per The Post. “He has a ton of power with the Giants…He was dating somebody in the office when I was playing there. He still has a lot of pull in New York, which is pretty crazy to me.” - It is a well-known fact that Belichick, the Giants’ former defensive coordinator under Bill Parcells in the 1980s, is revered by the Giants’ organization, including CEO John Mara. - Belichick was the head coach-in-waiting when Bill Parcells left the Giants after 1990 season when then general manager George Young bypassed him for the job giving it to running backs coach Ray Handley. - Ever since then, the Giants have had their eye on Belichick and vice-versa although they have never come close to a reunion. But the relationships are still strong. Strong enough for Belichick to know what’s going on inside the halls of 1925 Giants Drive to this day. - That is why it is not a reach when lawyers for Brian Flores presented text messages from Belichick as evidence that the Giants strung their client along during the most recent head coaching hiring process. - “It is kind of fishy that Brian Flores gets the text message from Coach Belichick, and Coach Belichick is lost and doesn’t know which Brian he’s talking to and congratulating Brian Daboll for getting the job,” Ward said. “Of course Belichick is going to know that before anybody. I’m telling you, Chris. I guarantee he has the keys to the New York Giants’ stadium…He’s going to know everything first when it comes to the New York Giants because he has that communication.” - Ward could be exaggerating here but might not be as off base with this Belichick connection as previously thought. If Belichick is getting fed inside information, that is unethical and dangerous on many levels. - That’s an issue for another day. - His insider, whoever it is, still couldn’t help him in his two Super Bowl losses to the Giants. - - RelatedBleacher Report names 3 players Giants 'must consider cutting'Report: Raiders to hire Giants DC Patrick Graham for same rolePHOTOS: Every Super Bowl ring — from I to LV - - List - - 5 DC options Giants could consider to replace Patrick Graham - - - - - - - - -

Report: Giants to interview Don Martindale, Sean Desai for DC vacancy / After Patrick Graham took a new job with the Las Vegas Raiders, the New York Giants are already getting their search for a new defensive coordinator underway this weekend. - Kicking off the interviews for the Giants will be former Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale and former Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Sean Desai, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. - - The #Giants are conducting defensive coordinator interviews this weekend, speaking with former #Ravens DC Don “Wink” Martindale and former #Bears DC Sean Desai today, sources say. There are 4 or so others. The team now has the spot open with Patrick Graham leaving for Vegas. - — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 5, 2022 - - - Martindale appears to be a strong candidate for the now-vacant role. He stepped down from his role as Ravens defensive coordinator this offseason after spending four seasons (2018-2021) with the team - Martindale was thought to be high on the list of candidates for new head coach Brian Daboll, according to Ralph Vacchiano of SNY. - - And there you go … - Don “Wink” Martindale was high on Brian Daboll’s list before the Giants settled on Patrick Graham returning. Now that Graham is gone, ‘Wink’ is a strong candidate for DC again. https://t.co/qPHb0R14ws - — Ralph Vacchiano (@RVacchianoSNY) February 5, 2022 - - - Desai was the Bears defensive coordinator in 2021 but was not retained by the team following the firing of head coach Matt Nagy. All with the Bears, he was a defensive quality control coach for six seasons (2013-2018) and a safeties coach for two seasons (2019-2020) before his promotion to defensive coordinator. - The Giants are likely to conduct a thorough search for their new defensive coordinator so expect to hear a few more names in the coming days. - - RelatedGiants add to the trenches in latest CBS Sports mock draftPFF lists Giants' biggest offseason needsBleacher Report names 3 players Giants 'must consider cutting' - - List - - 5 DC options Giants could consider to replace Patrick Graham - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each

PFF lists Giants' biggest offseason needs / The 2022 NFL draft is less than three months away and is approaching quickly. The New York Giants have nine picks, including the Nos. 5 and 7 overall selections and have a roster in dire need of an infusion of talent. - In his latest piece on each team’s draft need, Anthony Treash of Pro Football Focus provided this analysis of the Giants at the moment. - NEW YORK GIANTS: IOL, LB, EDGE - “Some teams have several needs listed but may only have one that is pressing. For New York, these three position groups are all massive issues. The interior offensive line ranked dead last in unit pass-block grade, the linebacker corps was the third-lowest-graded and the edge group ranked fourth-to-last in pass-rush grade. The cap situation is a disaster for the Giants, but they are rich in draft capital, anchored by two top-10 picks.” - The Giants are likely to use one or both of their first two picks on the offensive line but will not pass up an opportunity to select a stud at another position should one be available to them. - The Giants have to make some deep cuts this offseason and no player is untouchable from what we can see. So, depending on who gets the axe over the next month we will begin to have a clearer picture as the draft nears. - Right now, the objective is to get talented and healthy football players in the door and work from there. - - RelatedBleacher Report names 3 players Giants 'must consider cutting'Report: Raiders to hire Giants DC Patrick Graham for same rolePHOTOS: Every Super Bowl ring — from I to LV - - List - - 5 DC options Giants could consider to replace Patrick Graham - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Bleacher Report names 3 players Giants 'must consider cutting' / When the New York Giants hired Joe Shoen to be their next general manager, everyone, including Shoen, knew there was plenty of work to be done on the salary cap to make it somewhat manageable again. - In fact, it was in Schoen’s first few days that he made it clear just how much salary cap the Giants are hoping to shed. - Recently, Bleacher Report’s Joe Tansey listed three players the Giants “must consider” cutting this offseason: wide receiver Sterling Shepard, tight end Kyle Rudolph, and cornerback James Bradberry. - The most likely cut may just be Shepard, who tore his Achilles at the end of this past season and has been hit hard with the injury bug during his career. - With the Giants investing a first-round pick in Kadarius Toney and a heavy contract in Kenny Golladay, the Giants could easily afford to cut ties with Shepard, especially since he will probably miss a good portion of the 2022 season as he is recovering from injury. - Rudolph showed up at times for Big Blue during last season but is clearly not the player he once was. Even with Evan Engram set to become a free agent, the Giants might be better off parting ways with both Rudolph and Engram and finding a well-rounded tight end on the cheap for next season. - Finally, Bradberry made the list just one season removed from a Pro Bowl campaign. Unfortunately, Bradberry regressed a little this past season, along with the rest of the Giants’ defense. - There is no doubt that Bradberry can play, but with the Giants rebuilding for now and in desperate need of clear cap, it could make sense to part ways with Bradberry’s salary. - The Giants will have a lot to do to correct the salary cap hell that Dave Gettleman left them in, but hopefully the new coaching staff and general manager have a plan already formulated to get the cap down as efficiently as possible. - - RelatedReport: Raiders to hire Giants DC Patrick Graham for same roleGiants great Harry Carson disappointed in team's hiring historyEli Manning reached out to Giants' Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll to offer help - - List - - Giants expected to hire Mike Kafka as OC: 7 things to know - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email

Giants great Harry Carson disappointed in team's hiring history / New York Giants Hall of Fame linebacker Harry Carson has been at the forefront of the battle to create racial equality in both society and the NFL the past several decades. - The former Giants captain and Super Bowl XXI champion was asked about the latest allegations cast by Brain Flores’ lawsuit, which claims that Carson’s old team used racist hiring practices this offseason. - “The mere fact that the Jets can have two African-American coaches [Herm Edwards and Todd Bowles], and the Giants have not had one, that is disappointing,” Carson said. “It has not been lost on me that the Giants have not hired a minority [head] coach.” - Flores, the son of Honduran parents who was born in Brooklyn, interviewed for the Giants’ head coaching vacancy last week, a position that ultimately went to former Buffalo Bills offense coordinator, Brian Daboll. - In his discrimination lawsuit, which includes the Giants as well as other teams and the NFL, Flores contends the Giants had no intention of hiring him and went through with his interview to comply with the “Rooney Rule”. - The Giants answered with an official statement on Thursday to refute Flores’ allegations. - As for Carson, he and others have a short memory when it comes to the Giants and their hiring history. - The Giants have never had a Black head coach or starting quarterback but it certainly hasn’t been from a lack of trying. The franchise’s history refutes the current narrative making the rounds. - The Giants were run by general manager Jerry Reese for 11 seasons and many of their front office positions have been held by minorities. Marc Ross was in charge of college scouting under Reese and Ronnie Barnes, the senior vice president of medical services who has been with the team since 1976. - This week, the Giants hired a woman, Laura Young, as their new director of coaching operations. - When Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon was a free agent coming out of the CFL in 1984, the Giants were one of four teams bidding for his services. - Moon and his agent, Leigh Steinberg, chose the highest bidder, the Houston Oilers, forcing the Giants to recommit to Phil Simms, which ended up working out for all parties. - In 2016, when the Giants were seeking to replace Tom Coughlin as their head coach, they were high on Hue Jackson but were spurned at the 11th hour when Jackson decided to take the Cleveland Browns’ job and canceled his flight to New Jersey. - - RelatedEli Manning reached out to Giants' Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll to offer helpBrian Flores claims Bill Belichick influenced Giants' coaching decisionReport: Giants expected to hire Mike Kafka as next offensive coordinator - - List - - Giants' Brian Daboll holds introductory press conference: 10 takeaways - - - - - - - -

Eli Manning reached out to Giants' Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll to offer help / Shortly after the New York Giants hired general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll, they received calls from team legend Eli Manning. - Manning not only reached out to introduce himself and offer congratulations, but to offer help in the event Schoen or Daboll needed it. - “I told them if they need anything from me in any way, nothing is off limits. I’m happy to help,” Manning told the New York Post. “I look forward to getting to know both of them better and seeing if I can be of service to them and help them get back on track and win more games. I’m all for that.” - Manning did not say if Schoen or Daboll took him up on the offer, but the two-time Super Bowl MVP still holds a separate role with the organization nonetheless. - Manning also told the Post that despite not being involved in the hiring process, he doesn’t believe the Giants did anything nefarious or made any decisions based on race. - “I was not involved in any of that process in any way, so I don’t know the details,” Manning said. “I know the Giants organization. I know they do everything possible to give everybody a fair chance. They don’t care, minority or not, they are looking for the best possible candidate. They are going to do everything properly to look for that perfect candidate. So, I don’t think there was any wrongdoing there.” - Manning’s comments, of course, come on the heels of a Brian Flores-filed lawsuit alleging the Giants put him through a “sham” interview and have racist hiring practices. - The Giants have denied Flores’ accusations. - - RelatedEli Manning can't resist poking fun at Tom Brady following retirement announcementEli Manning, Justin Tuck congratulate Henrik Lundqvist on jersey retirementLawrence Tynes: Eli Manning more qualified for Canton than Aaron Rodgers - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Brian Flores claims Bill Belichick influenced Giants' coaching decision / Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores is suing the NFL and its teams — the New York Giants being one of three teams specifically named — for racist hiring practices and systemic discrimination. - As part of the lawsuit, Flores submitted a series of text exchanges between he and New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. In them, Belichick confuses Flores for Brian Daboll and seems to indicated the Giants have chosen him for the job. - Belichick later realized who he was speaking with and informed Flores he heard the Giants were going with Daboll, who they did eventually hire. - Those text exchanges came days prior to Flores’ second interview with the organization, prompting him to add the Giants to a lengthy 58-page lawsuit. - - Texts from Bill Belichick to Brian Flores, congratulating Brian for landing the #Giants job. - Belichick thought he was texting Brian Daboll. He was texting Flores by mistake. pic.twitter.com/Y686XcjYC3 - — Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) February 1, 2022 - - - While making the media rounds following the lawsuit filing, Flores took things a step further and told NPR that he believes Belichick not only knew the Giants were hiring Daboll, but also helped influence that decision. - “I think there are back channel conversations and back channel meetings that are had that oftentimes influence decisions,” Flores said during an appearance on The Limits podcast. “I think [the Giants hiring process] is a clear example of that. Bill Belichick is a clear example of that. His resume speaks to that. It was clear to me that decision was made with his influence. That’s part of the problem. That needs to change. There needs to be a fair and equal opportunity to interview and showcase your abilities to lead and earn one of those positions.” - On Thursday evening, the Giants emphatically denied such allegations. - The allegation that the Giants’ decision had been made prior to Friday evening, January 28, is false. And to base that allegation on a text exchange with Bill Belichick in which he ultimately states that he “thinks” Brian Daboll would get the job is irresponsible. The text exchange occurred the day before Coach Daboll’s in-person interview even took place. Giants’ ownership would never hire a head coach based only on a 20-minute zoom interview, which is all that Mr. Daboll had at that point. - In addition, Mr. Belichick does not speak for and has no affiliation with the Giants. Mr. Belichick’s text exchange provides no insight into what actually transpired during our head coaching search. - Executives and coaches being called for references on former employees it not unusual. It’s a practice carried out by every employer across the country and something that Flores undoubtedly benefitted from himself. - Considering Flores had only ever worked for Belichick previously, the Miami Dolphins almost assuredly reached out for Belichick for a reference prior to hiring

Giants say Brian Flores accusations are 'disturbing and simply false' / On Tuesday, it was revealed that former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores had filed a lawsuit against the NFL and its teams — three teams were specifically named. - Among them was the New York Giants, who Flores accused of racist hiring practices, claiming they forced him through a “sham” interview. The purpose, the filing stated, was to portray serious interest in a minority candidate simply to satisfy the league’s Rooney Rule. - The Giants promptly issued a short statement denying the allegations. - “We are pleased and confident with the process that resulted in the hiring of Brian Daboll. We interviewed an impressive and diverse group of candidates. The fact of the matter is, Brian Flores was in the conversation to be our head coach until the eleventh hour. Ultimately, we hired the individual we felt was most qualified to be our next head coach,” the statement read. - On Thursday evening, the Giants released a secondary statement. This time, they called Flores’ allegations “disturbing and simply false.” - Brian Flores has raised serious issues in the filing of his complaint. The specific claims against the Giants and Mr. Flores’ allegations about the legitimacy of his candidacy for our head coach position are disturbing and simply false. - After we interviewed six exceptional and diverse candidates, the decision on who we would hire as head coach was made on the evening of January 28, one day after Mr. Flores spent an entire day in our offices going through his second interview for the position, meeting with ownership and other staff members, and receiving a tour of our facility. There is additional concrete and objective evidence to substantiate we did not make our decision until the evening of the 28th. - The allegation that the Giants’ decision had been made prior to Friday evening, January 28, is false. And to base that allegation on a text exchange with Bill Belichick in which he ultimately states that he “thinks” Brian Daboll would get the job is irresponsible. The text exchange occurred the day before Coach Daboll’s in-person interview even took place. Giants’ ownership would never hire a head coach based only on a 20-minute zoom interview, which is all that Mr. Daboll had at that point. - The Giants expanded on the Bill Belichick text messages, stating that the New England Patriots head coach does not speak for the organization and does not have a current affiliation with the team. - Further, the Giants shared their timeline on the hiring process, including Flores’ contact and involvement in establishing interviews. - In addition, Mr. Belichick does not speak for and has no affiliation with the Giants. Mr. Belichick’s text exchange provides no insight into what actually transpired during our head coaching search. - It has been well documented how much research and due diligence we did on Mr. Flores as it related to his candidacy.

Giants land Ikem Ekwonu, Derek Stingley Jr. in latest CBS Sports mock / - - - The 2022 NFL draft is quickly approaching and the mock drafts are heating up as the entrants begin to showcase their talents in all-star games along with the upcoming NFL combine and pro days. - Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports released his latest mock and the New York Giants — who hold the fifth and seventh overall selections in Round 1 — are expected to land two potential studs. - Here is who Trapasso predicts the Giants will take with those picks. - Ikem Ekwonu OL NC STATE • SOPH • 6’4″ / 320 LBS - Giants have to get better in the trenches for Daniel Jones. Ekwonu can play tackle or guard due to his size, athleticism, and power. - An absolute no-brainer. The Giants need to upgrade the offensive line at all five positions. Ekwonu will either slide into the right tackle void or perhaps even displace Andrew Thomas on the left side, moving Thomas to right tackle. Either way, this is a huge upgrade that should stifle all the the nonsense regarding the line once and for all. - Derek Stingley Jr. CB LSU • JR • 6’1″ / 195 LBS - Stingley can learn from James Bradberry for a season before the veteran is a free agent. He has All-Pro abilities on the outside. GM Joe Schoen was in Buffalo with Tre’Davious White. - We do not think the Giants would go corner with either of these picks but Stingley may be too good a talent to pass on. Plus, the Giants just might have to part ways with Bradberry and/or Adoree’ Jackson, both who are grossly overpaid. - Remember, this is a rebuild, so expensive veterans are going to be in season the next month as general manager Joe Schoen tries to regain valuable salary cap space. - - RelatedReport: Giants will retain assistants Jerome Henderson and Mike TreierGiants' Joe Schoen has no comment on Brian Flores lawsuitBears hire Giants WR coach Tyke Tolbert - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Was Daniel Jones a selling point during Giants' GM, coaching search? / Many of the candidates who interviewed for the New York Giants’ general manager job were asked — or gave — their opinion on fourth-year quarterback Daniel Jones. - Not that their answers or opinions would sway ownership either way (or shouldn’t have), but it was a prime subject in the discussions. - “I think we did (nine) general manager interviews and (six) head coach interviews, and every single interview was positive about Daniel,” Giants co-owner John Mara said last week. - “Now, they’re not willing to say that they think he’s going to be the next Patrick Mahomes or anything like that, but they were excited about the potential he has and the possibility of working with him. That, to me, was reassuring because that’s the way we feel as well.” - The Giants aren’t saying they are locked into Jones and new general manager Joe Schoen has indicated such, as has Daboll. - Both agree that Jones is talented and can succeed with the right the tutelage and support. Jones has had two head coaches and three offensive coordinators in his three seasons here. Each of his seasons has been marred with games missed due to injury and and inconsistent cast around him. - Some stability would do Jones good and finally the Giants might get to see what they have in him. Jones was the sixth overall selection in the 2019 NFL draft and showed flashes early on as a rookie only to falter the next two seasons. - Mara himself admitted recently that the club had failed Jones. - “We’ve done everything possible to screw they kid up,” Mara said. “We certainly haven’t given up on Daniel Jones.” - And that is evident with the hiring of Schoen and Daboll, who have created a monster offense in Buffalo and hope to replicate that here in East Rutherford. - - RelatedGiants' Joe Schoen has no comment on Brian Flores lawsuitBears hire Giants WR coach Tyke TolbertPatrick Graham passed over for Vikings job, likely to remain with Giants - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Report: Giants will retain assistants Jerome Henderson and Mike Treier / As the New York Giants hustle to fill out

Report: Giants will retain assistants Jerome Henderson and Mike Treier / As the New York Giants hustle to fill out their coaching staff under new head coach Brian Daboll on the offensive side of the football, the defensive staff is beginning to take shape as well. - The hiring process had slowed until the Giants knew the fate of coordinator Patrick Graham, who was a finalist for the Minnesota Vikings’ head coaching position. - On Wednesday evening, the Vikings informed Graham he was no longer being considered for the job, paving the way for his return to the Giants. And with him likely back in East Rutherford, a few assistants will also remain, reports Dan Duggan of The Athletic. - Veteran defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson will be retained, according to a source. Expect assistant defensive backs coach Mike Treier to return as well since he has a close relationship with Graham. - Assuming Graham does return — and there’s no reason to believe he won’t — you can expect the remainder of the staff to be rounded out quickly.

Giants' Joe Schoen has no comment on Brian Flores lawsuit / When the New York Giants hired Joe Schoen as their next general manager, he immediately hit the ground running. Within 24 hours he was conducting head coaching interviews and within 48 hours, he was in East Rutherford adjusting to his new role. - A week later, the Giants hired Brian Daboll as their next head coach. - It was a whirlwind for Schoen, but something he hoped would calm down following the coaching hire. He could then turn his focus to scouting and the Senior Bowl in Alabama. - But things didn’t happen quite that smoothly. - Within hours of completing their interview with Brian Flores — a few days prior to the hire of Daboll — the Giants and Schoen were slapped with a lawsuit. - In a lawsuit filed against the Giants, the NFL and its teams, Flores accused New York of a “sham” interview process meant to deceive the public. Flores alleges he was merely used as a pawn to make it appear as if the Giants were genuinely considering a minority. - The Giants emphatically denied those accusations. - “We are pleased and confident with the process that resulted in the hiring of Brian Daboll. We interviewed an impressive and diverse group of candidates. The fact of the matter is, Brian Flores was in the conversation to be our head coach until the eleventh hour. Ultimately, we hired the individual we felt was most qualified to be our next head coach,” the statement read. - Asked at the Senior Bowl about the lawsuit, Schoen politely passed on offering any commentary. - “I can’t comment on it,” Schoen said, via NorthJersey.com. “Just, we had a thorough coaching search and Brian Flores was one of the finalists and I’ll just leave it at that.” - Because its an active lawsuit, there isn’t much Schoen could say. But you better believe he never expected to find himself or the team in this position after just two weeks on the job. - - RelatedEmotional Tiki Barber comes to defense of Giants, owners: They aren't racistNate Solder has Brian Flores' back in lawsuit against Giants, NFLIn lawsuit, Brian Flores accuses Giants and two other teams of racism in hiring practices - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants

Patrick Graham passed over for Vikings job, likely to remain with Giants / The Minnesota Vikings are narrowing the scope of their head coaching search and Patrick Graham, who was among the finalists, has been informed he’s out of the running. - Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports that Minnesota informed Graham and Raheem Morris that they are no longer under consideration. That reveal came just hours after Jim Harbaugh returned to Michigan. - - The #Vikings wrapped up an interview this afternoon with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, then informed fellow finalists Patrick Graham and Raheem Morris they’re out. O’Connell is Minnesota’s man. https://t.co/rc60rsSk8W - — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) February 3, 2022 - - - With Graham being passed over for the Vikings’ job, that means he’ll likely return to the New York Giants as their defensive coordinator. And although the organization wanted him to land a head coaching gig, they’ll happily welcome him back with open arms. - “I’ve had a good relationship with Pat for some time in this league. He’s very diligent. He’s smart. I think the players respect him. He understands different defenses and I have a good working relationship with him. I did when I was back at New England,” head coach Brian Daboll said during his introductory press conference. - “Certainly, we hope that he has an opportunity to become a head coach. I think that’s everybody’s dream, but selfishly, I would love him to be here. He offers a lot to our program. I think he’d be a great support system for me and I’m hoping that that works out.” - There are still other head coach openings around the league but to date, none of those teams have expressed a public interest in Graham. And that’s unfortunate for them because they’re overlooking a well-respected and success coach. - - RelatedGiants' Daniel Jones intends to pick brain of Josh Allen this offseasonAfter meeting with Joe Schoen, Chris Snee will not rejoin Giants as scoutReport: Giants expected to retain Thomas McGaughey - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants hiring Laura Young as director of coaching operations / The New York Giants intend to hire Laura Young as their director of coaching operations. She will become the first female ever hired to the coaching staff or coaching operations department in team history. - The news was first reported by ESPN’s Jordan Raanan and Field Yates. - - The Giants are adding Laura Young as the team’s director of coaching operations, per @FieldYates and me. It is believed to be the Giants’ first known woman hire on the coaching side. - Young comes from the Buffalo Bills, where she was the player services coordinator. - — Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) February 3, 2022 - - - Young joins the Giants by way of the Buffalo Bills where she served as the player services coordinator. She had also previously worked as the manager of football administration and assistant to the head coach for the Bills. - In addition to her time with the Bills, Young also had stints with the Baltimore Ravens, working on the business side of things, and New York Jets. It was with the Jets and Rex Ryan that she was moved to the coaching side of things. - When the pandemic began to break out around the world in 2020, the Bills turned to Young to serve as one of their COVID-19 protocol coordinators. That became another important line on her resume and something the Giants undoubtedly took into consideration as the pandemic continues to rage. - Although Young is the first female to join the Giants’ coaching department, she is not the first female to hold a prominent role in the organization. - Hannah Burnett, who was hired in 2020, currently served as a full-time college scout covering the Midlands.

Emotional Tiki Barber comes to defense of Giants, owners: They aren't racist / Since his controversial retirement at the conclusion

Emotional Tiki Barber comes to defense of Giants, owners: They aren't racist / Since his controversial retirement at the conclusion of the 2006 season, Tiki Barber has had a rocky relationship with New York Giants fans. He has not, however, had as rocky a relationship with the team or its owners. - On Tuesday, former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores filed a lawsuit against the NFL and its teams, including the Giants, alleging racism in their hiring practices. He accused New York of running him through a “sham” process to make it appear as if a minority candidate was being seriously considered. - The Giants released a statement emphatically denying the allegations, noting that Flores was considered a finalist for the job. - “We are pleased and confident with the process that resulted in the hiring of Brian Daboll. We interviewed an impressive and diverse group of candidates. The fact of the matter is, Brian Flores was in the conversation to be our head coach until the eleventh hour. Ultimately, we hired the individual we felt was most qualified to be our next head coach,” the statement read. - During Wednesday’s edition of First Take, host Stephen A. Smith took harsh aim at the Giants. - “Let me say this to the New York Giants. As an organization, when it comes to black coaches, I don’t believe a damn word you have to say,” Smith said. “There’s no one more incriminating than the New York Giants when it comes to black coaches. We are in the year 2022. All of these years, damn near a century for crying out loud, there is one single franchise that has not had a black coach. That is the New York Giants.” - There are six teams that have never hired a Black general manager or head coach on a full-time basis. Although the Giants did have a Black GM — Jerry Reese — they have never had a full-time Black head coach in their history. - Despite that, Barber took exception to Smith’s comments and came to defense of the Giants during the Tiki & Tierney on Wednesday. - “I just don’t think that the Maras, who I’ve known for 25 years, are racist,” Barber said, via Big Blue View. - “I’m not willing to scream and yell that the Giants, an organization that I revere, that I had a great relationship with, to say that they’re racist simply because they haven’t had a black head coach or a black quarterback.” - Barber then became emotion as he recounted a never-before-told story about visiting Wellington Mara’s bedside before the late owner passed away. - - Tiki shares his heartfelt story about Wellington Mara: pic.twitter.com/JoQR7j2I33 - — WFAN Sports Radio (@WFAN660) February 2, 2022 - - - “I went to his bedside and I just tell him thank you for making me a Giant,” Barber recalls. “The fact that the Maras, and I always said this with the Tisches as

Giants' Daniel Jones intends to pick brain of Josh Allen this offseason / This past week, the New York Giants

Giants' Daniel Jones intends to pick brain of Josh Allen this offseason / This past week, the New York Giants have hired a general manager and a head coach off the payroll of the Buffalo Bills, partly because they believe that Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll can turn quarterback Daniel Jones into a franchise quarterback like they did with Josh Allen. - Well, something like that. The Giants say they simply hired the best candidates and their opinions — Jones was not necessarily the deciding factor. - Both men believe that Jones can become the player the Giants had hoped when they selected him sixth overall back in 2019. Jones had some early success but then stumbled after a myriad of negative circumstances befell him — injuries, poor coaching and a lack of sufficient talent around him. - Even owner John Mara admitted publicly that the team did everything to “screw this kid up.” But with the Buffalo contingent in charge now, they hope that Jones will prosper with some much seeded stability and tutelage. - Jones himself is not siting back and waiting for the cavalry. He plans on tapping into the Buffalo vein by reaching out to Josh Allen for some guidance. - Allen has become one of the game’s most prolific and dynamic players and possesses some of the same traits as Jones — size, mobility and a big arm. - “Going forward I plan to try to get in touch with him,” Jones told The Post about Allen. Quarterbacks have a close-knit society and the two know each other, a relationship that is about to get closer. - “Obviously Josh is a great player, he’s done a lot of great things in this league, and fun guy to watch, and a guy who’s had a lot of success,” Jones said. - What exactly does Jones plan on picking Allen’s brain about? - “I think just kind of general stuff on how they made it work so well. … How he went about building that relationship, and how he learned best and just made it work,” Jones said. - Many will argue that Jones is not Allen, not even close in some cases. But that won’t preclude him from looking into taking the same pat to success. - “My goal is not to be him, or try to emulate him. I understand I got my own skill-set, my own game, so I’ll try to be the be the best version of that, be the best version of myself,” Jones said. “Coach Daboll has said that to me, and I think that’s what he expects. I look forward to learning from Coach, and obviously there’s a lot of things he was able to teach Josh, and I’ll look forward to learning from that, and try to be the best player I can be.” - With Daboll at the helm, the Giants will almost assuredly be better offensively and that will benefit Jones. We’ve seen him do exceptional things

Carl Banks: Lawrence Taylor, not Tom Brady, the greatest of all-time / Now that Tom Brady has officially retired, it’s time to place him in the pantheon of NFL greats. There is no question that he is greatest quarterback of the Super Bowl era, perhaps of all time. - But is Brady the greatest player in the century-plus-long history of the National Football League? That’s a slippery slope. - As one who has been ardently following the NFL since the Lombardi Green Bay Packers were a dynasty, I can tell you Brady stands alongside the greats of the game. - But for fans of the New York Giants, Brady’s sparkle isn’t as bright. The Giants ruined his perfect season in 2007 with a shocking Super Bowl win and then, to prove it was no fluke, did it again four years later. - As a player, Brady was spectacular, prolific and clutch but to Giant players and fans he is not the greatest player they’ve seen. - That distinction belongs to Lawrence Taylor. After 40 years, I have yet to see anyone make the same impact on the game. Taylor’s former teammate Carl Banks, a fellow linebacker with the Giants during their 1980s championship runs, agrees. - - Total player is LT https://t.co/VV4kPgttaS - — Carl Banks (@CarlBanksGIII) January 29, 2022 - - - One can make the case that Brady played so long in the league and had so much success because he didn’t have to face the likes of Taylor. The last decade has been dedicated to protecting quarterbacks. Back in Taylor’s day, there were few protections and very opaque rules when it came to hitting the passer. - Everything went. Ask Joe Theismann, Ron Jaworski, Neil Lomax, Jim Everett, Troy Aikman and others who took vicious hits from Taylor. Even Joe Montana crumbled under the the Giants’ rush (as did Brady in two Super Bowls against a more modernized pass rush). - So, let’s put things in perspective and not let the narrative get away from us on this. LT remains the greatest all-around player in league history. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

After meeting with Joe Schoen, Chris Snee will not rejoin Giants as scout / New York Giants general manager Joe

After meeting with Joe Schoen, Chris Snee will not rejoin Giants as scout / New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen met with retired offensive lineman Chris Snee for several hours last Friday. The two discussed a potential organizational role for Snee — likely as an offensive line or area scout. - It’s a role Snee held with the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2017-2020, but not one he will hold with the Giants. - Following the meeting with Schoen, Snee informed the New York Post that things aren’t going to work out and that there will be no reunion with Big Blue. - “It’s not gonna work out,” Snee said. - That was not for lack of effort, however. - Snee says he watched several hours of film and even compiled a series of reports for Schoen, and felt confident after the meeting was over. Schoen clearly felt differently. - “I thought it went well. It was a great conversation, I left there thinking they wanted me in the building,” Snee said. “I could come in the office, I could watch film there, watch film at home, specifically for that position of need.” - Ultimately, Schoen said that type of role did not exist in Buffalo and he would not be creating it in New York. Accordingly, Snee was shown the door. - “I’d love to help the Giants, I’ve been trying for years,” Snee said. “I want to help this team in so many ways. I played 10 years here, put a lot of heart and blood and sweat here. When they asked me to come in for an interview it was something I wanted to explore. In the end it’s just not going to work out for both sides.” - Snee remains hopeful to land a job with another NFL team, but his dream of returning to the Giants appears to have been squashed. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Nate Solder has Brian Flores' back in lawsuit against Giants, NFL / On Tuesday, former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores filed a lawsuit against the NFL and three of its teams, including the New York Giants. - In the lawsuit, Flores alleges racism and discrimination across the NFL and as part of its hiring practices. Specific to the Giants, Flores claims he was “humiliated” after being forced to go through a “sham” interview process. - Flores believes the Giants used him to make it appear as if a minority coach was a serious candidate for the job despite having already settled on Brian Daboll. - The Giants released a statement shortly thereafter, expressing confidence in their hiring system and claiming Flores was, in fact, a very legitimate candidate. - “We are pleased and confident with the process that resulted in the hiring of Brian Daboll. We interviewed an impressive and diverse group of candidates. The fact of the matter is, Brian Flores was in the conversation to be our head coach until the eleventh hour. Ultimately, we hired the individual we felt was most qualified to be our next head coach,” the statement read. - At least one Giants player has decided to side with Flores, however. - Veteran offensive tackle Nate Solder, who is likely in his final days with the team, tweeted his support for Flores on Tuesday night. - - B Flo has always been a man of conviction and character. I am proud of him for risking so much and standing for truth and justice at great risk and cost to himself and his family. I got your back coach. - — Nate Solder (@soldernate) February 2, 2022 - - - Flores and Solder, who never had Daniel Jones’ back, spent several years together with the New England Patriots. Flores was an assistant coach under Bill Belichick, while Solder helped protect Tom Brady’s blind side. - Solder is expected to become an unrestricted free agent once the new league year begins in March. And although he is not expected to return after a career-worst season in 2021, Solder will still cost the Giants $4 million as the result of a signing bonus that was kicked down the road due to salary cap woes. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for

Report: Giants expected to retain Thomas McGaughey / New York Giants special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey, who is likely going to be a head coach someday, drew quite a bit of interest this offseason. He interviewed with both the Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Chargers, and appeared to be a frontrunner in L.A. for a while. - Ultimately however, Thomas McGaughey will not depart to either Chicago or Los Angeles. Rather, Art Stapleton of USA TODAY reports that the 48-year-old assistant will remain in East Rutherford. - - I’m told #Giants are expected to retain Thomas McGaughey as their special teams coordinator, per sources. He’ll serve with his third head coach here: Pat Shurmur, Joe Judge and now Brian Daboll.TMac was also with NYG as assistant special teams coach with Tom Coughlin - — Art Stapleton (@art_stapleton) February 1, 2022 - - - As Stapleton notes, McGaughey has significant staying power in New York. He was a member of the staff under Tom Coughlin from 2007 through 2010 before returning in 2018. Since then, he’s remained in place under Pat Shutmur, Joe Judge and now, Brian Daboll. - It’s no surprise that McGaughey got the nod considering he’s one of the best special teams coaches in the NFL. Even last season — widely considered a down year for the unit — McGaughey’s group finished 10th-best in the NFL. - In addition to McGaughey, the Giants will also retain assistant general manager Kevin Abrams and director of football operations Ed Triggs, as well as defensive coordinator Patrick Graham — assuming he doesn’t get the head coaching job in Minnesota. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Brian Flores accuses Giants in lawsuit of racism in hiring practices / Former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores filed a lawsuit against the NFL and three of its teams on Tuesday, alleging racism in their hiring practices. - The New York Giants, who introduced Brian Daboll as their head coach on Monday, were among the teams named. - In the lawsuit, which the New York Daily News shared in part, Flores claims the Giants “humiliated” him with a sham interview after their decision on a new head coach had already been made. - Mr. Flores was not only denied the head coach position of the New York Giants but was humiliated in the process as (the team) subjected him to a sham interview in an attempt to appear to provide a black candidate with a legitimate chance at obtaining the job. - The suit continued: - Thus, last week, Defendant New York Football Giants, Inc. (the “Giants” or “New York Giants”) had an opportunity to move a step in the right direction, if even only one. The Giants had the chance to hire Mr. Flores, an eminently qualified Black man, to be the first Black Head Coach in the Giants’ nearly 100-year history. - Instead, the New York Giants made the decision to hire Brian Daboll—and disclosed that decision to third parties—during a time when the Giants were scheduled to still interview Mr. Flores and when Mr. Flores was deceptively led to believe he actually had a chance at this job. - Thus, on Wednesday, January 26, 2022, Mr. Flores was forced to sit through a dinner with Joe Schoen, the Giant’s new General Manager, knowing that the Giants had already selected Mr. Daboll. Much worse, on Thursday, January 27, 2022, Mr. Flores had to give an extensive interview for a job that he already knew he would not get—an interview that was held for no reason other than for the Giants to demonstrate falsely to the League Commissioner Roger Goodell and the public at large that it was in compliance with the Rooney Rule. - A text message between New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and Flores was also submitted as evidence. In it, Belichick mistakes Flores for Brian Daboll and congratulates him on getting the Giants job. - Asked by Flores if he realizes which “Brian” he was talking to, Belichick tells him the Giants intend to go with Daboll. - Flores had second interview with the team just days later. - - Texts from Bill Belichick to Brian Flores, congratulating Brian for landing the #Giants job. - Belichick thought he was texting Brian Daboll. He was texting Flores by mistake. pic.twitter.com/Y686XcjYC3 - — Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) February 1, 2022 - - - Even prior to hiring Joe Schoen as their general manager, Giants co-owner John Mara reached out to Flores to inform him he was a serious candidate — something Mara confirmed to the New York Post.

Giants' Brian Daboll: 'There's a lot of things to like about Daniel Jones' / The New York Giants introduced their new had coach, Brian Daboll, at a press conference on Monday morning. He was met by a gauntlet of various media outlets who peppered him with questions about his plans to turn the once proud flagship franchise around. - One subject that kept recurring among the inquiries were regarding quarterback Daniel Jones, who is heading into his fourth season and has yet to establish himself as a “franchise” quarterback. - Daboll is still getting to know Jones and says that he’s “looking forward to working him.” When asked how he planned to utilize Jones’ skills, it is going be a wait-and-see process as an offensive coaching staff still has to be hired. - “We’re going to try to implement a system that suits him and then it’s our job to bring pieces in that help him to be the best version of himself and the best quarterback for us,” Daboll said. “He’s got the right mindset. He’s got good size. There’s a lot of things to like about Daniel and we’ll just take it one day at a time. We’ll work with him. We’ll help him get better. We’ll help him be a better leader. We’ll help him be everything. That’s our job as a coaching staff and as an organization.” - The new coach said he asked Jones what he liked to do going back to his days at Duke. Daboll said the scheme will always be tailored around the talent, not the other way around, so players won’t be asked to do something that they can’t. - “One of the things that I asked him to do, and I said you can give it to me at any time. He was one of the players that called me after it was announced amongst some other guys and I said, ‘hey, give me some things that you really liked in your last three years or if you did it at Duke,’ and that’s where it’s going to start is some foundational pieces that he feels comfortable with,” Daboll said. - Daboll’s goal is to get Jones the tools he will need to succeed and shied away from comparing him to any other quarterbacks he’s coached, specifically Josh Allen. - “I wouldn’t do that to Daniel or really any other player, I think that’s unfair. I want to get to really know Daniel first and see what makes him tick and then we’ll take it one day at a time,” Daboll said. “I know he’s really willing, but to compare where Josh is or Daniel, I don’t think that’s fair to do to either one of those guys.” - It was notable that Daboll did not mention any other players by name in his presser, which may not bode well for many of them. When asked his thoughts on running back Saquon Barkley, he took the high road. - “He’s

Giants' Joe Schoen would prefer Brian Daboll not call plays / On Monday, the New York Giants officially introduced Brian

Giants' Joe Schoen would prefer Brian Daboll not call plays / On Monday, the New York Giants officially introduced Brian Daboll as the 20th coach in franchise history. - Daboll, like the Giants’ new general manager Joe Schoen, came over from Buffalo where they both had success turning the Bills franchise around over the past several seasons. - Obviously, the Buffalo background was something that attracted the Giants to both their new general manager and head coach but now, with increased responsibilities for both, it’s key that they, metaphorically, don’t bite off more than they can chew in their new roles. - As the work starts now on building the coaching staff around Daboll, it’s vital to bring in guys who have the same vision offensively as the new head coach. - In Daboll’s introductory press conference, he was asked if he planned calling plays and about his offensive philosophy. - “It’s going to be dependent on the players, that’s first and foremost. I don’t think you can — look, each place I’ve been, and particularly I’d say these last four years with Josh (Allen), we tried to develop a system that was conducive to his skillset along with the other pieces that we added,” Daboll said. - “That’ll be a work in progress. In terms of the play calling, I think that’s a work in progress, too. We’ll see who the offensive coordinator is, who the rest of the staff is and then we’ll talk about that as we get going through OTAs and minicamps, but it’ll be important. That position, that offensive coordinator position will be an important position for us.” - Obviously, there is a lot to be determined as the coaching staff gets filled out. As for Joe Schoen’s feelings, he prefers Daboll doesn’t call the plays. - “I’m not going to rule that out if he is or isn’t. We don’t have an offensive coordinator. If for some reason he had to — ideally, he doesn’t. I would prefer he manages the game,” Schoen said. “But, again, as we’re still interviewing offensive coordinator candidates, we’re going to wait and see how that plays out. Ideally, the offensive coordinator calls the plays, but, again, I’m not going to say that’s set in stone because we’re going to let Brian make that decision.” - Clearly, with the unknown involving who will be the offensive coordinator, Schoen did not want to exclude the possibility of the new head coach calling plays. With Schoen having already worked with Daboll in Buffalo, it’s nice to see the new GM trusts his head coach to make his own decision when it comes to who will be calling the plays on offense. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - -

Giants, Joe Schoen aim to clear $40 million in cap space this offseason / The New York Giants may have a new regime in place but they still have many of their old problems. - Peter King of NBC Sports reports the Giants’ new general manager, Joe Schoen, will be concentrating on repairing the team’s out of control salary cap situation he inherited from his predecessor, Dave Gettleman. - The Giants have to either fix Daniel Jones or replace him in 2023, and Schoen told me Saturday he’ll have to clear out $40 million from a bloated and mismanaged salary cap this spring. - “When we first got to Buffalo,” said Schoen, “we had $55 million in dead cap money we had to manage. We had a plan there, and we’ll have one here. We may have to make some decisions that hurt, but I do not want to kick the can down the road with the cap. I want to get it fixed.” - How Schoen intends to do that is unknown. At his introductory presser he briefly mentioned there would be tough decisions ahead, but looking at the team’s salary cap table, there’s very little to be saved by simply cutting players. - Because of that, the Giants will have to get some of their higher-paid players to agree to restructures or pay cuts. - “It’s a concern and it’s real,” Schoen said of the cap situation last week. “Kevin Abrams and I haven’t talked about it yet. We looked at it, we’re going to get together at the end of the week or first of next week to start formulating a plan, but we’re going to have to get below the salary cap. - “Obviously, we’re going to have to clear some money, but when the new head coach gets in here, the new staff, we’re going to get together, we’re going to watch the film, we’re going to evaluate everybody, we’re going to talk to the support staff. Who are the guys that kind of fit the vision that we’re looking for? Who are the guys that are going to buy into the program? Then, we’ll make educated decisions once we have more information. There are going to be difficult decisions that are going to have to be made.” - - List - - 8 Giants who could be released or traded to save cap space - - - - - - - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning -

Giants owner John Mara: Daniel Jones' neck injury a 'non-factor' / One of the biggest questions heading into the 2022 season for the New York Giants surrounds the health of starting quarterback Daniel Jones, who missed the last six weeks of the 2021 season with a neck injury. - On Monday, Giants co-owner John Mara spoke with the media after the team held they introductory press conference for new head coach Brian Daboll, who told reporters that he was looking forward to working with Jones. - Mara, meanwhile, shot down any notions that Jones’ neck injury could linger or impact his availability next season. - “Yeah, so our medical people are very confident that the neck injury will be a non-factor,” Mara said when asked about Jones’ status. He was also probed about what many of the general manager and head coaching candidates had to say about Jones in their interviews with the team. - “I think we did (nine) general manager interviews and (six) head coach interviews, and every single interview was positive about Daniel,” Mara added. “Now, they’re not willing to say that they think he’s going to be the next Patrick Mahomes or anything like that, but they were excited about the potential he has and the possibility of working with him. That, to me, was reassuring because that’s the way we feel as well.” - Asked if he would be surprised if Daniel Jones was not the Week 1 starter in 2022, Mara had a simple response. - “Yes,” he said. - Mara, Joe Schoen and Daboll all appear to be in that much-desired “lockstep” when it comes to Daniel Jones. They love him and are intent on riding things out with him under center. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Patrick Graham earns second head coaching interview with Vikings / The New York Giants hope to retain Patrick Graham

Giants' Patrick Graham earns second head coaching interview with Vikings / The New York Giants hope to retain Patrick Graham as their defensive coordinator but only if he doesn’t land a head coaching job elsewhere. - “I’ve had a good relationship with Pat for some time in this league. He’s very diligent. He’s smart. I think the players respect him. He understands different defenses and I have a good working relationship with him. I did when I was back at New England,” Giants head coach Brian Daboll said on Monday. - “Certainly, we hope that he has an opportunity to become a head coach. I think that’s everybody’s dream, but selfishly, I would love him to be here. He offers a lot to our program. I think he’d be a great support system for me and I’m hoping that that works out.” - The only remaining variable that could pry Graham away from the Giants are the Minnesota Vikings, who remain entrenched in a head coaching search of their own. - Minnesota has already interviewed Graham once for their head coaching vacancy and now, per ESPN’s Courtney Cronin, will meet with him a second time on Tuesday. - - Per source, New York Giants DC Pat Graham will be in Minnesota on Tuesday for his second interview with the Vikings. Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh will interview in Minnesota son on Wednesday. - — Courtney Cronin (@CourtneyRCronin) February 1, 2022 - - - Graham has long maintained that coaching the Giants’ defense is his “dream job” and even passed over several coaching opportunities last year to remain in East Rutherford. However, with his close friend, Joe Judge, having been fired earlier this year, Graham has gotten more serious about taking a lead role elsewhere. - If the Vikings do ultimately pass Graham over — and that would be a foolish decision by them — expect him to return to the Giants’ sideline in 2022. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants to hire Bobby Johnson as offensive line coach / The New York Giants have cycled through multiple offensive line

Giants to hire Bobby Johnson as offensive line coach / The New York Giants have cycled through multiple offensive line coaches in recent years, but hope to find some stability with the next. And in keeping with recent trends, they’ll task a former Buffalo Bills guy with the job. - Multiple reports, including one from Mike Silver, surfaced on Monday indicating that the Giants have hired Bobby Johnson as their next O-Line coach. - - I'm told @BuffaloBills offensive line coach Bobby Johnson will join the staff of new @Giants HC Brian Daboll (former Bills OC) in the same role… @BallySports - — Michael Silver (@MikeSilver) February 1, 2022 - - - The 49-year-old Johnson has more than 25 years of coaching experience between the NFL and NCAA. He broke in with Akron as a graduate assistant and defensive line coach in 1995, but also spent time with Miami (Ohio) and Indiana before reaching the pros in 2010. - Johnson was initially hired as the Bills’ assistant offensive line coach but departed for Jacksonville in 2012. After one season coaching the Jaguars’ tight ends, he joined the Detroit Lions as tight ends coach and assistant offensive line coach. From 2015 through 2017, he coached tight ends for the Oakland Raiders and then spent one season with the Indianapolis Colts. - In 2019, Johnson returned to the Bills as an offensive line coach. Since then, Buffalo has gone on to assemble one of the better O-Line’s in football, surrendering just 27 sacks during the 2021 which was the second-fewest in the NFL. - Since 2020, the Giants have gone through three different offensive line coaches: Marc Colombo, Dave DeGuglielmo and Rob Sale. - - List - - Giants' Brian Daboll holds introductory press conference: 10 takeaways - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Super Bowl LVI may be decided by a trio of ex-Giants / - - - The contestants for Super Bowl LVI are set — the Los Angeles Rams will face the surprising Cincinnati Bengals two weeks from now at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. - For fans of the New York Giants, there will be a trio of familiar faces (and then a few other secondary names) in the game, including two of their former first-round picks. - The Bengals’ defense contains two former Giants’ draft picks — cornerback Eli Apple and lineman B.J. Hill — who came up big against the Chiefs in Kansas City in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday. - Hill intercepted a Patrick Mahomes pass deep in Kansas City territory in the third quarter that led to the games-tying score, and Apple made a touchdown-saving tackle stopping Tyreek Hill at the goal line to end the first half. The Bengals went on to win, 27-24, in overtime. - Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, former Giants superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is having a resurgence after a not-so-productive stop in Cleveland. - Beckham caught nine of his 11 targets for 113 yards in the Rams’ 20-17 over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in the NFC Championship Game. - Beckham was the Giants’ first-round pick in 2014 (No. 12 overall) out of LSU. After a record-setting five seasons in New York, Beckham was traded to the Browns in a blockbuster move after wearing out his welcome with some dubious behavior. - OBJ was released by Cleveland in November of this season and was immediately scooped up by the Rams, where he has regained his status as an elite offensive force. - Apple was the 10th overall selection out of Ohio State in 2016 — a horrible reach by the general manager Jerry Reese. After a contentious two and a quarter seasons with he Giants, they cut bait on Apple by trading him to new Orleans for a pair of draft picks. Apple moved onto Carolina two years later before landing in Cincinnati this season. - Hill was a third-round pick of the Giants in 2018 out of North Carolina State. After a solid rookie season in which he set a franchise rookie record for sacks (5.5), Hill saw his playing time drop off and he was traded to the Bengals before the start of this season in exchange for center Billy Price. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An

Giants expected to keep Patrick Graham as defensive coordinator / New York Giants defensive coordinator Patrick Graham has once again generated interest around the league. He’s been approached as both a DC candidate as well as a head coaching candidate for the second consecutive season. - Despite that interest however, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Graham is likely to remain with the Giants in 2022 and potentially beyond. Unless, of course, he lands a head coaching job that fits his liking. - - The #Giants are planning to retain respected defensive coordinator Patrick Graham for Brian Daboll’s new staff, sources say, if Graham does not secure a head coaching job. He interviewed for the #Vikings HC job and is still in the mix. If not MIN, NYG keeps a high-quality coach. - — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 31, 2022 - - - Newly hired Giants head coach Brian Daboll is familiar with Graham, having worked alongside him with the New England Patriots from 2013 through 2015. They also travel in very similar circles. - For Graham, returning makes sense. He’s well-respected in the locker room and throughout the organization, and maintains that coaching the Giants defense is his “dream job.” - “To me, the Giants, this is my dream job to be here as the defensive coordinator for the New York Giants. So I’m just happy to be here,” Graham told reporters in June. - “Goes back to my days at Notre Dame with [Giants co-director of player personnel] Tim McDonnell when I knew him, a lot of my mentors, the people that I learned football from had connection with the New York Giants. That’s important to me.” - And now it appears Graham will get at least one more year — if not more after signing an extension last season — at his dream job. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants land two studs in latest Pro Football Focus mock draft / In the previous Pro Football Focus mock draft, which was released last week, the New York Giants somehow managed to land Oregon edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux. - It was the first time we had seen a major publication mocking Thibodeaux to the Giants. No others have before and none have since. But in their most recent mock, which was published on Monday morning, PFF stuck to their guns. - Once again, they have the Giants selecting Thibodeaux at No. 5 overall. - 5. NEW YORK GIANTS: EDGE KAYVON THIBODEAUX, OREGON - Thibodeaux coming off the board at No. 5 might feel like a “fall,” given that he was the consensus No. 1 overall pick just a few months ago. But after learning more about the class, it makes more sense that his range falls between Pick 1 and Pick 5. - He still could very well be the first player taken in the draft, but if he’s not, there’s no guarantee he’s the next name after that. His natural gifts as a pass-rusher make him a top-five lock, but I’ll give some hope to Giants fans because I do think it could play out like this, given the talent at the top of the class and the potential team needs in the top five. - Interestingly, PFF didn’t change anything for the Giants when it came to their next pick, No. 7 overall, either. There, they stayed with Iowa offensive lineman Tyler Linderbaum. - 7. NEW YORK GIANTS (VIA CHI): IOL TYLER LINDERBAUM, IOWA - Yeah, yeah, I know. “You don’t take a center this high.” - However, I genuinely think this is where Linderbaum’s range begins, and I also think there’s a chance he could be the Giants’ second selection. New general manager Joe Schoen comes over from Buffalo, where he served as assistant GM for five years. He was Brandon Beane’s right-hand man, and with 20 years of a scouting background, his voice was likely a very important one in the war room. - The Bills have honed in on the trenches in each of their last three drafts — all five of their first and second-round picks since 2019 were spent on either offensive line or defensive line. - Here, they went with a dynamic, high-ceiling pass protector at No. 5, and I bet Schoen is one of those GMs who simply says, “we’re going to draft great football players in the trenches.” Linderbaum is one of them. - There’s really not much to say here. Honestly, we think it’s admirable that PFF has stayed true to what they believe when it comes to Giants’ targets. So many others are trying to force in safeties or non-rushing linebackers or quarterbacks, and that’s simply not what the Giants need. - Thibodeaux, if he falls, and Linderbaum make sense. They’re perfect fits. And they would start for the Giants — and have an impact — on Day

Could Giants, Brian Daboll target Kacy Rodgers for position on staff? / The New York Giants are now set at

Could Giants, Brian Daboll target Kacy Rodgers for position on staff? / The New York Giants are now set at general manager and head coach, which means it’s time for Brian Daboll & Co. to begin compiling his staff. - Although offensive and defensive coordinators will warrant the most attention, there’s still plenty of other positions to fill. Case in point: defensive line coach. - Sean Spencer, who was the D-Line coach under Joe Judge, has already departed for the University of Florida this offseason. That means one of the Giants’ first truly open positions comes along the defensive line, and they might already have their eyes on someone to fill it. - Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network reports that Tampa Bay Buccaneers D-Line coach Kacy Rodgers has drawn interest from the Giants, but they’re not alone. - Defensive line coach Kacy Rodgers has drawn interest from the Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants, per sources. - If NFL legend Tom Brady were to retire — something that is currently up in the air — there’s a belief that an exodus may occur in Tampa Bay. That would mean assistant coaches like Rodgers shaking loose. - Rodgers, who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1992 and later in the CFL, broke into coaching with Tennessee-Martin in 1994. He spent four years with the university, coaching the D-Line and later serving as the assistant coach, before moving onto Northeast Louisiana. He also coached at Middle Tennessee State and Arkansas before breaking into the NFL. - In 2003, Rodgers was hired as the Dallas Cowboys’ defensive tackles coach. He was later promoted to defensive line coach and spend three years in that role. He held the same title for the Miami Dolphins from 2008-2014 before being hired as defensive coordinator of the New York Jets. After four years in East Rutherford, he joined the Bucs, where he remains today. - It’s possible the Giants see Rodgers as defensive coordinator candidate, but they more likely view him as a potential Sean Spencer replacement. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Brian Daboll wants his Giants to be 'smart, tough and dependable' / The New York Giants will officially introduce Brian

Brian Daboll wants his Giants to be 'smart, tough and dependable' / The New York Giants will officially introduce Brian Daboll as their next head coach on Monday morning, but his first words in the new position came through Bob Papa. - Daboll sat down with Papa on Sunday and described what his Giants will look like and what he expects from everyone in the organization. - “Smart, tough and dependable,” Daboll said. “We’re going to have to do a good job of bringing in the right kind of people. Again, it’s a challenging process to make sure you’re putting together the team that can be competitive week in and week out.” - That vision sounds very familiar to the one laid out by Daboll’s predecessor and close friend, Joe Judge. But that shouldn’t come as a surprise since they both learned and developed under Bill Belichick and Nick Saban. - Daboll took another page out of Judge’s playbook when discussing what he expects from his assistant coaches and the coaching staff as a whole. - “You want good leaders and good teachers — guys that can build something within their room. Guys that can inspire and that are good listeners and learners, and that can develop people,” Daboll said. “Not just players, but the support staff and things like that. But you’ve got to be able to teach and you’ve got to know what you’re talking about. You need to be authentic. You need to be consistent.” - It’s all about the relationships, as Judge once said. - “Relationships are foundations here … with all of the players,” Daboll said. “Getting to know them, what their strengths and weaknesses are. And getting to know them outside of the building — what makes them tick?” - That’s why, Daboll says like Judge before him, it’s important to be “authentic” with the players and staff. If you’re not, they’ll see right through that. - “It’s important to be authentic. You can learn from a lot of different coaches and a lot of different people but at the end of the day, players, support staff and people will see right through you if you’re not authentic. That’s what I try to be,” Daboll said. - Are you experiencing some deja vu, Giants fans? - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing

Giants select Kyle Hamilton with their first pick in latest Draft Wire mock / In the latest three-round mock from our friends at Draft Wire, the New York Giants selected Kyle Hamilton, a safety out of Notre Dame, with the fifth overall pick. - Seeing two tackles already off the board has to hurt, and it’s possible the Giants could talk themselves into an edge defender here. It’s high for a safety, too, but Hamilton might be the best overall prospect in this year’s entire class, making him worthy of consideration. - With the likely departure of Jabrill Peppers, the Giants will potentially need to add another safety this offseason. Hamilton is said to be a generational talent with his elite 6–foot-3, 218-pound frame. - Hamilton had an impressive 138 tackles and eight interceptions as a Fighting Irish defender. He was constantly all over the field making big play after big play. Most recently in 2021, Hamilton recorded 34 tackles, four passes defended, and three interceptions. This outstanding play earned him a Consensus All-American recognition in 2021. - Draft Wire predicts that following this defensive selection, the Giants will turn to the offensive side of the ball and select Charles Cross with the seventh overall pick. Cross would add much-needed help on the offensive line as the Giants prepare to finally build a conducive environment for Daniel Jones. - After going best-player-available with their first top-10 pick, the Giants make a more need-based selection here, adding much needed help up front for Daniel Jones (or whoever eventually replaces him). Cross is big, athletic, and was dominant against SEC competition. - New York appears to have talented weapons but the thing holding the offense back is clearly the line play. Adding a solid tackle in Cross to play opposite of Andrew Thomas, who is developing into one of the better tackles in the NFL, should help Brian Daboll get the breakout year from Jones he hopes for. - With the remaining three selections the Giants possess in the first three rounds of the 2022 NFL draft, Draft Wire predicts that the Giants will go all-in on the defense. - With the 36th pick, the Giants are projected to draft Christian Harris, a talented linebacker out of Alabama. Finally, Big Blue is predicted to go with Arnold Ebiketie (an edge rusher from Penn State) and Mykael Wright (a cornerback from Oregon) with their two third-round selections. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured -

Joe Schoen: Bill Parcells still very much cares about Giants / New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen, who was hired earlier this week, looks like he just stepped off a college campus — as a student. His youthful appearance throws people off and draws them to the conclusion that he’s a little too green to be running an NFL team. - Don’t be fooled. Schoen has loads of experience — two decades worth mind you — in the world of NFL front offices and scouting rooms. - One of Schoen’s stops was in Miami in the late 2000s as a national scout where his boss was a face very familiar one in Bill Parcells. Schoen would not be where he is today had he not worked under Parcells for those two seasons. - When Schoen took the Giants’ job last week, he detailed how important his time with Parcells was and shared several stories. He also revealed that the former two-time Super Bowl-winning coach is still a Giant at heart. - “Coach Parcells was integral in my career and development, and he still cares dearly about the New York Giants,” Schoen said in a recent interview. - “You can hear it in his voice. He was excited for me to get this job, but he also told me this franchise is still near and dear to his heart. Not only do you have the weight of the fans, you want to do what’s right for the Mara and Tisch families, you want to get the organization back to where it should be, but also coach Parcells. I want to do well for him, too. That’s obviously motivation to get this thing going in the right direction.” - If Schoen can duplicate what he did in up in Buffalo down here in New York, he’ll not only make millions of Giant fans happy, but it will give Parcells a sense of pride as well. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Joe Schoen: Daniel Jones stood out during 2018 scouting / Back in 2018, while on a scouting trip for the Buffalo Bills, current New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen headed out to Northwestern for a look at quarterback Clayton Thorson. - At the time, the Bills were in need of a quarterback and were casting a wide evaluation net. What Schoen didn’t expect however, was stumbling upon a Duke quarterback that impressed more than Thorson. - “In 2018, I went to see Clayton Thorson. He was (expected) to be in that draft and it was Northwestern versus Duke, it was like an academic bowl,” Schoen recalled to Giants.com. “I was actually the only scout there, and Daniel Jones played really well that day. I remember going back to Brandon Beane and saying, ‘Hey, the best quarterback in that game yesterday was this young kid from Duke, he’s from Charlotte,’ and that was my first exposure to him.” - Jones, of course, would not declare for the NFL draft until the following year. The Bills, meanwhile, would end up selecting Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen. - When the 2019 NFL draft rolled around, the Bills were no longer putting much time into the quarterbacks, but still had good grades on Jones, who ultimately went to the Giants at No. 6 overall. - “We had good grades on him in Buffalo when he came out, but I think that position is a little bit different than the rest and you’ve got to do a lot of homework and spend time with those guys. We liked the physical ability and liked the type of kid he is,” Schoen added. - With Schoen now in charge and Brian Daboll having been hired as the head coach, they will get their hands on Jones all of these years later and look to resurrect his teetering career. - The good news? Both Schoen and Daboll love Jones’ athleticism, size, speed and talent. - “I’ve looked at him and you know, I wasn’t here in the past, I don’t know what he was told what to do, but I do know this: he’s a great kid, he’s been in the building the last two days I’ve talked to him. There’s not a person who’s said a bad word about his work ethic, passion (or) desire to win,” Schoen said during his introductory press conference. - “You got to have those traits as a quarterback. The kid has physical abilities. Arm strength, he’s athletic, he can run. So I’m really excited to work with Daniel. When the new staff gets in here, we’ll build an offense around Daniel to accentuate what he does best.” - Ironically, after being drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fifth-round of the 2019 NFL draft, Clayton Thorson found his way to New York where he’s served as a reserve behind Daniel Jones for the past two seasons. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - -

Colin Cowherd: Sticking with Daniel Jones may get Brian Daboll fired / Brian Daboll has been head coach of the New York Giants for less than 72 hours and there are already some talking about his termination. - Colin Cowherd of FOX Sports Radio is one of those people. - During what can only be described as a mini-rant, Cowherd blasted the Giants’ decision to stick with quarterback Daniel Jones. He believes — as he’s said before — that Big Blue should gamble their entire future on Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, even if it means trading a full decade worth of first-round picks. - Cowherd also believes that if the Giants stick with Jones, Daboll will be out of a job within three years and general manager Joe Schoen will be on the hot seat. - - “Go big. Call Seattle and make an offer they can’t refuse for Russell Wilson.” - — @ColinCowherd reacts to Giants hiring Brian Daboll pic.twitter.com/7y8WGceulB - — The Volume (@TheVolumeSports) January 29, 2022 - - - “I think both (Daboll) and the new GM have a chance to succeed if they’re allowed to choose personnel. However, the Mara family wants Daniel Jones to work so Daboll will make him the best version of Daniel Jones he can,” Cowherd said. - “By Year 2, they draft a rookie quarterback. Most of those are not nearly as good as predicted, some are busts. Daboll nonetheless will be asked to win with that rookie quarterback. And by Year 3 — in Year 2 for the quarterback and Year 3 for Daboll — he will need to win or he will be fired. Rinse and repeat for the Giants,” Cowherd continued. - That’s quite the conspiracy theory with a side of fearmonger from Cowherd, who, as a shock jock, intentionally says the most outlandish things possible. - There are two major issues punching a hole in Cowherd’s theory here: First and foremost, both Daboll and Joe Schoen are very open about their feelings on Jones. Secondly, the pair have been given full autonomy on personnel decisions so long as they are in agreement with each other. Mara essentially serves as a tiebreaker. - Beyond just that, Cowherd paints a picture where Daboll will be fired in every scenario that doesn’t involve trading for Wilson. In his mind, that’s the only answer for the Giants and who cares if they send Seattle 10 first-round picks? Who cares that Schoen values his selections highly and prefers building through the draft? Who cares if the Giants can’t field a competitive team if Wilson is under center? - The issue for Cowherd is that he simply can’t believe those in charge in East Rutherford disagree with him. In his mind, if Schoen and Daboll want Jones and not Deshaun Watson or Russell Wilson, then it must be the fault of John Mara — it couldn’t possibly be anything. - The irony is that Cowherd believes Daboll is a

Eli Manning, Justin Tuck congratulate Henrik Lundqvist on jersey retirement / Friday Night was a special night for New York sports legend Henrik Lundqvist. - The former New York Rangers goal tender who they call “the King,” had his number retired and raised to the rafters at Madison Square Garden. - A few former New York Giants joined the Rangers and New York community to congratulate Lundqvist on his number retirement. - - Henrik, I have so many favorite memories of you that it's hard to name just one.

I just commend you for years of being the best goalie in the league and all the flowers people give you right now are well deserved. God Bless,” Tuck said. - Tuck is notoriously known as a huge Rangers fan and is frequently in attendance for many Ranger and New York Knicks games at the Garden, especially since his retirement from the NFL. - In fact, Tuck is so well-known for being a Rangers fan, he was on the MSG broadcast Friday night ahead of ceremony to talk about The King. He talked more about his first Ranger jersey being a Lundqvist jersey and discussed how emotional the night would be for the Rangers’ former goal tender. - - 2x @Giants Super Bowl Champion Justin Tuck on the odds of Henrik shedding some tears tonight pic.twitter.com/dNjPqNdS9u - — Rangers on MSG (@RangersMSGN) January 28, 2022 - - - “If there’s a bet out there for how many tears Henrik is going to shed tonight, take the over.

Dan Orlovsky: Giants coach Brian Darboll 'loves Daniel Jones' / When the New York Giants hired Joe Schoen as their next general manager, one thing became immediately evident: He was a fan of quarterback Daniel Jones. - “I’ve looked at Daniel and you know, once the new staff gets in here — offensive coordinator, head coach, entire staff — dive into the film as a group and look at what Daniel does best. We’re going to allow him to put his best foot forward,” Schoen said. - “I’ve looked at him and you know, I wasn’t here in the past, I don’t know what he was told what to do, but I do know this: he’s a great kid, he’s been in the building the last two days I’ve talked to him. There’s not a person who’s said a bad word about his work ethic, passion (or) desire to win. You got to have those traits as a quarterback. The kid has physical abilities. Arm strength, he’s athletic, he can run. So I’m really excited to work with Daniel. When the new staff gets in here, we’ll build an offense around Daniel to accentuate what he does best.” - Schoen has repeatedly doubled-down on that stance and as fate would have it, that vision is apparently shared in lockstep by newly hired head coach Brian Daboll. - - I heard mid-week this that Daboll absolutely loves Daniel Jones—makes sense now. Good for him-good for DJ. https://t.co/r3fCELwTyU - — Dan Orlovsky (@danorlovsky7) January 28, 2022 - - - This is certainly a narrative-busting bit of news when it comes to DJ, just as it was when Schoen made his comments. It’s further proof that GM after GM and coach after coach see something in Jones that so many others outside of the game don’t — or simply refuse to. - Jones is very similar in size, build, speed, athleticism and arm strength as Josh Allen, so it’s easy to see why Daboll would be encouraged. Maybe he’s not the complete package in the same way as Allen, but you could argue Jones has some strengths over his counterpart. - The Giants are still unlikely to pick up Jones’ fifth-year option, but there’s no doubt he’ll be under center to start in 2022 and that the offense will finally be build around him and his strengths. - - List - - 2022 NFL draft: Giants select a new QB in full 7-round mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning

Could Brian Daboll bring Ken Dorsey, Don Martindale with him to Giants? / The New York Giants officially announced the hiring of Brian Daboll as their next head coach on Friday night. - With Daboll now hired, the Giants will move onto staff building. They’ll need a new offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, special teams coordinator and position coaches. And as fate would have it, Daboll may already have some lined up. - Even before the Daboll hiring had been announced, speculation began regarding his potential assistants. And in the moments immediately after the Giants made things official, names began to fly. - As offensive coordinator, Ken Dorsey appears to be the hot name. And while many expect he’ll be promoted from passing game coordinator to offensive coordinator in Buffalo, there’s an outside chance Daboll lures him to East Rutherford. - - A beneficiary of Brian Daboll’s departure, Buffalo’s passing-game coordinator and QB coach Ken Dorsey is likely to become an offensive coordinator either with the Bills or Giants, per sources. - — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) January 28, 2022 - - - Landing a combination of Daboll and Dorsey would be a coup for the Giants. And general manager Joe Schoen did say he’d be blessed with whatever resources are required to hire the staff they want. Prying Dorsey away from the Bills would certainly not come cheap, but that promise from John Mara and Steve Tisch keeps New York in the game. - Defensively, things seem a little more clear. By all accounts, Daboll wants Don “Wink” Martindale, who was recently fired by the Baltimore Ravens, as his coordinator. However, as a fallback option, Patrick Graham remains in play (albeit it more on the outside looking in). - - One source told me the other day that Daboll intended to hire recently fired Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale as his Giants DC if he got this job. Pat Graham is under contract, but he is being pursued for DC & HC jobs elsewhere, too. https://t.co/oF9lSA1Z1M - — Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) January 28, 2022 - - - Ralph Vacchiano of SNY also reports that Daboll covets Martindale. - According to SNY NFL Insider Ralph Vacchiano, Daboll has interest in former Ravens DC Don “Wink” Martindale as his DC with the Giants, per a source. Martindale and the Ravens surprisingly parted ways following the end of the Ravens’ season. - Vacchiano also notes that current defensive coordinator Patrick Graham could be a possibility to stay, depending on Daboll’s other options. - Who ends up in the coordinator roles remains to be seen, but it’s clear there are some early favorites. And Daboll has also made it clear he’ll waste no time on this, so it’s full steam ahead for Big Blue. - “My immediate goal is to assemble a coaching staff — a strong staff that emphasizes teaching and collaboration and making sure our players are put in the position to be their best

Ex-Giants DT Fred Robbins loses house in Florida fire / Former New York Giants defensive tackle Fred Robbins, his wife

Ex-Giants DT Fred Robbins loses house in Florida fire / Former New York Giants defensive tackle Fred Robbins, his wife Tia and their children lost everything in Gulf Breeze, Florida house fire earlier this week. - In a GoFundMe set up by Robbins’ family members and their close friend, Madrina Ciano, it was revealed that Fred and Tia woke up at 3:30 a.m. to find their home “engulfed in flames.” They were able to escape, but were unable to save any of their possessions. - Tia and Fred woke up at 3:30 am to their home engulfed in flames. Tia woke up hearing a noise coming from the roof, which sounded like someone was on the roof and it actually was the fire raging in the attic. - By the Grace of God they were able to get themselves and their two boys out safely; however, the house is a total loss. They are currently displaced. - As you can imagine, this is devastating. There wasn’t time to grab any valuables, family photos, keepsakes, or anything! This traumatic experience will live with them forever, and they have a long journey ahead to rebuild everything they’ve lost. - Currently, the GoFundMe is at just $40,193 of its $100,000 goal. - Ciano later told the Pensacola News Journal that the Robbins were able to recover their wedding rings and a Super Bowl XLII ring from the rubble, but did not disclose the condition of those items. Everything else was lost. - “It was 3:30 in the morning. They were in their PJs. They had to go buy a toothbrush and change of clothes just to make it through day one,” Ciano said. “And it’s a family of four, and they lost everything from school clothes to activities that the boys liked. I know they plucked her wedding ring out of the rubble, as well as his Super Bowl ring. But overall, it’s pretty much a total loss. So, imagine all that history. - “I don’t care if you’re a Super Bowl champ or you’re affluent, this is a lot to bounce back from and there will be a lot of immediate needs. So my intent for the fund was to allow them cash flow to meet those needs as they occurred.” - Whatever other memorabilia Fred had from his playing days also appears to have been lost. - Robbins, a second-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in the 2000 NFL draft, signed with the Giants in 2004 and spent six years with the team. He was named a Sports Illustrated All-Pro in 2008 and was, of course, a member of the magical Super Bowl XLII team. - After leaving the Giants, Robbins closed out his career with the St. Louis Rams. - - RelatedJoe Schoen will be among Giants executives attending Senior BowlGiants, Joe Schoen will embrace 'data innovations' and analyticsJoe Schoen says Giants will do 'deep dive' into injury woes - - - - -

Lawrence Tynes on Giants' injury woes: Players were over-worked / New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen says one of his first orders of business will be doing a “deep dive” into the team’s recent history of injury. - “Some of the issues around here in the past have been injuries. We need to do a deep dive into that and make sure we’re doing everything we can so these players can put their best foot forward on Sundays,” Schoen told Tiki and Tierney. - It will also be important for the next head coach to make sure the injury issues are capped. - “Are you going to listen to Ronnie Barnes and the guys downstairs? Are you going to listen to the strength coach? Are you going to listen to the sports performance when they tell you we need to pull back and don’t keep pushing?” Schoen said. - But retired Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes doesn’t necessarily believe there needs to be a deep dive. He remains plugged into the organization and claims the injury issues are the result of something very obvious. - - He won’t have to look real hard or long, just ask the vets. - These men were over worked, I know this for a fact. https://t.co/GtDYfcwQdS - — ???????? ????? (@lt4kicks) January 27, 2022 - - - Although former general manager Dave Gettleman and head coach Joe Judge repeatedly said they made decisions in the players’ best interest, several did seem to return early. And being overworked on top of that likely stemmed from a paper-thin roster. - But that only explains the previous two years. The Giants’ injury issues extend well beyond that and all the way back to the Tom Coughlin era in 2009. Since then, the Giants are the league’s most-injured team, having players miss over 3,000 combined games due to injury. - No one else in the NFL has reached the 3,000-game threshold over that same span. - Many maintain that Ronnie Barnes and the Giants’ medical staff are the best in the business, but the results no longer seem to reflect that. Even if you can explain away the injury issues from the previous two years, there is still more than a decade of unanswered injury questions. - The Giants hope Schoen is able to uncover something that has clearly been missed. Something beyond being overworked the previous two years. - - List - - 2022 NFL draft: Giants select a new QB in full 7-round mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get

Giants legend Eli Manning congratulates Ben Roethlisberger on retirement / On Thursday, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger announced his retirement from the NFL, marking the end of an era for the 2004 draft class. - Big Ben was, of course, the final quarterback to retire out of the big three to come out of that draft class. The others being long-time San Diego Chargers quarterback Phillip Rivers and New York Giants great Eli Manning. - The former Giant and two-time Super Bowl champ took to Twitter to congratulate his fellow 2004 draftee Ben Roethlisberger on his career: - - To the graduating Draft Class of '04#ThankYou7 | @EliManning pic.twitter.com/GUqFLTBXvD - — New York Giants (@Giants) January 27, 2022 - - - “Hey, Ben. Just wanted to congratulate you on retirement, pal. 18 years with one historic organization is a great task, so congratulations on that,” Manning said. - “You know, we’ve been tied together since our draft class in 2004, so it’s an honor to have shared that … with you. It’s an honor to have competed against you and it’s an honor to call you a friend now, man. All the best in retirement and enjoy.” - Roethlisberger, like Manning with the Giants, won two Super Bowls for the Steelers and certainly left his mark on the NFL. With such storied careers as Roethlisberger, Manning and Rivers all had, the debate will continue on which QB was the best out of the three. - - Best QB draft class of all-time? pic.twitter.com/j3VCyGVjW3 - — SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) January 27, 2022 - - - - Roethlisberger will likely make the Hall of Fame as his stats clearly stack up against most, let alone against the other quarterbacks in Steelers franchise history. - Had Big Blue failed to execute the draft day trade with the then-San Diego Chargers, the Giants were rumored to be in favor of taking Big Ben over Phillip Rivers. And if a former GM Ernie Accorsi was unable to come to an agreement with San Diego, the implications quite literally change football history. - - List - - 2022 NFL draft: Giants select a new QB in full 7-round mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive

Giants, Joe Schoen will embrace 'data innovations' and analytics / Incoming New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen held his first press conference with the team’s media pool on Wednesday and spoke about a topic many experts have criticized his predecessors over — analytics. - When looking for head coach, Schoen is seeking a like-minded partner who can embrace data and formulate strategies based on the numbers. - “I think intelligence is important,” said Schoen when asked about what qualities he looks for in a head coach. “I think being progressive in your approach to coaching, whether it’s with analytics, when to go, when not to go, when to punt. I think you’ve got be open to all that stuff. - “You’ve got to be open to sports performance, strength and conditioning. You’ve got to listen to the experts in their field. Those are some of the major qualities that I’m looking for as we move forward.” - When pressed for specifics, Schoen was ready and his explanation was a refreshing one considering the antiquated and stodgy environment the team had been operating under the past decade. - “I think we use ‘data innovation’ here instead of ‘analytics’ since it is a hot button. But I believe in it,” Schoen said. “Any tool that can help us win games or give us a competitive advantage, we’re going to continue to push the envelope and find out what those are. - “To me, if it’s going to help us in the draft process with the evaluations or the free agency process with the evaluations or contract value and who do these players compare to, if it’s going to help us with our practice schedule to keep guys healthy, keep guys on the field, if guys are running too much or working too hard or there are signs you have to be open-minded to the information. - “It’s a piece of the puzzle. It’s not going to drive the entire process, but it’s another tool that we need to use in order to get whatever competitive advantage we can and make the best decisions we can for the New York Giants.” - Meanwhile, during an appearance on Tiki and Tierney, Schoen said the team’s technological approach will extend well beyond analytics. He intends to update their draft room — which he says still has its original magnet board — and transform it into a digital workspace. He also intends to evaluates the training facility and seek other upgrades around the facility. - Welcome to the 21st century, Giant fans.

Joe Schoen says Giants will do 'deep dive' into injury woes / Since 2009, no team has dealt with more injuries than the New York Giants. In fact, their players have missed more than 3,000 combined games over that span due to injury. - How is that possible, you ask? That’s a great question and one that must be answered. - The Giants have gone through three general managers, five head coaches (it will be six shortly if you count Steve Spagnuolo) and complete personnel turnover during that time. Everything has changed on repeat with the sole exception of the injury issues. - Newly hired general manager Joe Schoen intends to set out on a journey of discovery to pinpoint the issue and fix it once and for all. - “Some of the issues around here in the past have been injuries. We need to do a deep dive into that and make sure we’re doing everything we can so these players can put their best foot forward on Sundays,” Schoen told Tiki and Tierney. - Making sure the injury issues are capped will be a key part of the Giants’ head coaching search as well. - “Are you going to listen to Ronnie Barnes and the guys downstairs? Are you going to listen to the strength coach? Are you going to listen to the sports performance when they tell you we need to pull back and don’t keep pushing?” Schoen said. - Don’t expect a magical turnaround, especially given that Schoen appears poised to keep Ronnie Barnes & Co. in place. But perhaps advancements in on-field analytical data will help ease the injury burden and send the recent trend in the opposite direction over the next few seasons. - - List - - Giants' Joe Schoen holds introductory press conference: 17 takeaways - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants will once again focus on fixing O-Line this offseason / It’s been the focus for years and it will be again: The New York Giants will look to address the offensive line this offseason. - With the Giants in salary cap hell, they will likely look to fix the offensive line in the upcoming draft. And although New York has plenty to repair, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that they spend both of their top 10 picks on the O-Line. - In newly hired general manager Joe Schoen’s first press conference, he didn’t shy away from the problems that need fixing on the roster he just inherited. For years, the Giants’ offensive line has needed to be repaired and the team has failed when it comes to the players that have come in to fix it. - Schoen has already stressed how important it is to build through the draft. - Schoen was also asked about Daniel Jones and he made it clear they plan to build around Jones’ strengths. Giants co-owner John Mara agreed and admitted they have not yet set Jones up to succeed here. - Fixing the offensive line once and for all is something that could alleviate a lot of the Giants problems. - “If you upgrade the offensive line, it’s going to help Daniel and it’s going to help Saquon (Barkley),” Schoen told SNY. - “I don’t think Daniel Jones has been given the best opportunity to succeed. He’s going to be on his third head coach, there’s been turnover at the offensive coordinator position, the offensive line — there’s been some injuries there,” Schoen later told Tiki and Tierney. “You know, (fixing) the offensive line will give us a chance to really see what we have in Daniel Jones. And it will also help Saquon Barkley. In order for both of those players to put their best foot forward, we’re going to have to upgrade the offensive line.” - Two years ago, the Giants drafted Andrew Thomas fourth overall. In his rookie year, Thomas really struggled. However, he really came into his own in his sophomore season and is now seen as a piece for the Giants to build around. - In many of the mock drafts throughout the second half of the season and even many of the recently released mocks, the Giants going in the direction of offensive line with at least one of their top 10 picks. - A fix at offensive line will make life easier for Jones, Saquon Barkley, the new offensive coordinator and ultimately will help the offense flow. Giants fans have been starving for the team to fix the offensive line for years and it is comforting to know that the new GM knows it must be addressed this offseason. - - List - - Giants' Joe Schoen holds introductory press conference: 17 takeaways - - - - - - - - -

Giants will ask Brian Flores to explain Dolphins' power struggle / The New York Giants, still in search of their next head coach, will meet with Brian Flores in East Rutherford on Thursday. And by all accounts, he’s considered one of the favorites. - Even prior to Joe Schoen being hired as general manager, there were reports that Giants co-owner John Mara reached out to Flores and informed him he was a serious candidate. That seems like an unusual step, but New York wanted to make sure they had their shot at Flores. - And when they do finally meet face-to-face, Mara intends to bring the heat. He will ask Flores to explain the power struggle in Miami that ultimately led to his firing. - “That’s certainly one of the things that we’re going to ask Brian. I discussed it with him briefly when I spoke to him a week ago, but we’re going to spend some time on that when he comes in tomorrow,” Mara told reporters. - And what did Flores say? That’s only for the fly on the wall to know. - “I’m not going to go into that. It’s obviously something that we’re going to have to discuss,” Mara added. - Whatever happened in Miami, it hasn’t stopped Flores from generating significant interest. Mara acknowledged that all nine candidates who interviewed for the Giants’ GM job had Flores on their list of potential head coaches. - “I reached out to him because he was on all the candidates that we interviewed for general manager, he was on each of their lists,” Mara said. “I see he’s been interviewing elsewhere, I just wanted to let him know: ‘Before you make a decision, just know that we have interest in you. Make whatever decision you feel like you need to make for you and your family, but just know that we do have interest in you. Once I get the general manager search done, we will be back to you, so that was the purpose of that call.'” - And get back to him the Giants did. Flores waited and now he will have the opportunity to explain what happened in Miami and why he’d be the best choice to lead New York in 2022 and beyond. - - List - - Giants' Joe Schoen holds introductory press conference: 17 takeaways - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address.

Giants' Joe Schoen leaves door open to additional head coaching interviews / The New York Giants are in the process of another rebuild with newly hired general manager Joe Schoen at the forefront. - Schoen, a former Bills front-office executive, is now tasked with finding the person who will lead the Giants on gamedays. And although the team has stuck to a very specific list of candidates, Schoen left the door open to additional interview while meeting with reporters on Wednesday. - “If we’re not in alignment (after the first series of in-person interviews), there’s a couple other names we’ve talked about as a group that we could expand the search,” Schoen told SNY. - As of now, the Giants and Schoen have completed interviews with five head coaching candidates: Dan Quinn (former Atlanta Falcons head coach and current Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator), Lou Anarumo (Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator), Leslie Frazier (Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator and assistant head coach) and Patrick Graham (Giants’ defensive coordinator) - Schoen has also interviewed his former employee, Brian Daboll (Bills offensive coordinator), twice. - Who could be some of the additional names if John Mara, Steve Tisch, Chris Mara and Schoen can not come to a consensus? No one knows, but it’d be interesting to see. - This is a big decision for the future of the Giants’ franchise. It is good to see that Schoen is not leaving any stone unturned as he tries to right the ship of this failing New York organization. - - List - - Giants' Joe Schoen holds introductory press conference: 17 takeaways - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Joe Schoen: Building through draft a key to sustained success / The New York Giants will introduce newly hired general manager Joe Schoen on Wednesday morning. But before he has a chance to stand at the podium and take heat from the beat, Schoen sat down with former Giants center Shaun O’Hara. - In the wide-ranging 10-minute interview, Schoen touched on a variety of topics. He talked about Bill Polian’s book, culture and his approach to roster building. - “Ultimately, I think building through the draft — I believe in that. Drafting, developing and signing your own. I think that’s very important if you want to sustain success,” Schoen said. “I believe in supplementing the roster with free agency and going outside the building, but don’t really like getting into signing the biggest fish out there and spending a lot of money. - “I won’t say we’ll never do that, but I prefer to draft, develop and sign our own. I just think the margin for error is much smaller because you know exactly what you’re paying for. You know how the guys work on a daily basis and you know how they fit your culture. So, that’s kind of how I foresee us doing it here with the Giants.” - Speaking of culture — a word frequently thrown around by former head coach Joe Judge — Schoen is big on that as well. - “I know ‘culture’ is thrown around a lot, but (I want) guys that fit our culture,” Schoen said. “Guys that are smart, tough and dependable. It’s going to start there. Guys that are talented and that have really good habits. I think you’re going to have your best chance for success with those type of players. - “To me, that’s going to be a concerted effort — trying to find out who the leaders are currently in the locker-room. But also, if we do have to go outside of the locker-room, what are those guys going to add in terms of leadership and carrying the head coach’s messages throughout the locker-room?” - Schoen is certainly saying all the right things and it’s a significant departure from Dave Gettleman’s approach in recent years. It’s a modernized approach — something very different for the stone age Giants. - - List - - 2022 NFL draft: Giants select a new QB in full 7-round mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - -

Giants' Leonard Williams: 'I want to be great' / Following a year in which he recorded 11.5 sacks, the New York Giants signed Leonard Williams to a big-money, long-term deal during the 2021 offseason. - In response, Williams posted a career-high 81 tackles to go along with two forced fumbles, two passes defensed, 14 QB hits and 6.5 sacks. - It wasn’t the sort of statistical year Williams had hoped for, but that paled in comparison to the team’s 13 losses. But that adversity brought growth, Williams recently told Madelyn Burke of Giants.com. - “I grew most just mentally. It was a tough season and I had (some) injuries near the end of the season that I had to fight through,” Williams said. “Just playing through a lot of adversity. Being able to push through, keep my mentality, still make plays, affect the game somehow and help my team. I think that’s where I grew most — just mentally.” - Williams also admits there wasn’t a moment he didn’t feel pressure, but that had less to do with his contract and more to do with his desire to be among the league’s best. - “I don’t think there’s ever a year or week or play that there’s not pressure,” Williams said. “I put pressure on myself more than anyone, to be honest. And it’s just because I want to be great. - “I’m always looking at what I can do to get better, [improve] my stats and help out the team.” - Williams says he will spend the first two months of the offseason in Florida at the “House of Athletes” working on recovery and mobility before departing for the “Sports Academy” in California. Outside of some spear fishing, that’s where he’ll remain until the time comes to return to East Rutherford. - - List - - 2022 NFL draft: Giants select a new QB in full 7-round mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants select OT Charles Cross in first Bucky Brooks mock draft / The New York Giants are expected to use one of their two first-round picks (and possibly both) in the 2022 NFL draft on an offensive lineman. Ideally, one of those will be an offensive tackle. - But what if Evan Neal and Ikem Ekwonu are both off the board when it’s the Giants’ turn to pick at No. 5 overall? - That’s a scenario we have not seen in many mock drafts to date, but a route Bucky Brooks took in his first mock for NFL Network. But even with Neal and Ekwonu off the board, Brooks stayed true to Big Blue’s needs and went with Mississippi State OT Charles Cross. - Rebuilding the Giants’ offensive line has to be a top priority for new general manager Joe Schoen. As a Day 1 starter, Cross could immediately help Big Blue re-establish a blue-collar mentality on offense. - There are some who genuinely believe Cross has the highest upside of any available offensive tackle. He would be a Day 1 starter and like Andrew Thomas before him, would grow over time. - Ironically, choosing between Neal, Ekwonu and Cross is very similar to the choice teams had to make in 2020 when it came to the aforementioned Thomas, Jedrick Wills, Mekhi Becton and Tristan Wirfs. - Moving ahead to pick No. 7 overall, Brooks has the Giants going with a suddenly hot name: Michigan edge rusher David Ojabo. - The Giants have always been at their best when a dominant defensive front can take over the game. The ultra-twitchy pass rusher from Michigan would add significant juice. - The selection of Ojabo came with Iowa center Tyler Linderbaum still on the board. Brooks stuck to positional value on that pick and let Linderbaum slide all the way to the Baltimore Ravens at No. 14 overall. - - List - - 2022 NFL draft: Giants select a new QB in full 7-round mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants will conduct second interview with Leslie Frazier on Friday / The New York Giants are knee deep in their head coaching search, churning out an interview on average per day. And although many expected a coach to be hired by the end of the work week, it now appears that things may stretch into the weekend. - Rather than naming a coach on Friday, the Giants will instead conduct their second interview with Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier. - NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero was the first to report the news. - - The #Giants plan to interview #Bills DC Leslie Frazier a second time for their head coaching job Friday, per source. - So with Joe Schoen in place as GM, his former Buffalo colleagues Brian Daboll and Frazier are both getting a long look in New York. - — Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) January 26, 2022 - - - With Frazier coming in for an interview and tour on Friday, that means a hire is not likely to be made until Saturday at the earliest. And that’s assuming the team does not conduct any additional interviews. - Frazier first interviewed with the Giants last Friday via Zoom — an approach they also used with Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. After his video conference, Daboll met in-person with the Giants earlier this week. - With Daboll and Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn having already met with the Giants face-to-face, here’s a look at how the team’s remaining interview schedule shakes out: - - Monday: Dan Quinn - Tuesday: Brian Daboll - Wednesday: Patrick Graham - Thursday: Brian Flores - Friday: Leslie Frazier - - Although Daboll remains the fan favorite and the Vegas favorite, he’s no lock to be hired. The Giants are very much interested in Flores and Frazier, and that trio is likely to be considered the finalists. - - List - - 2022 NFL draft: Giants select a new QB in full 7-round mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants somehow land Kayvon Thibodeaux in latest PFF mock draft / Most early mock drafts are uniform in that the New York Giants select two offensive linemen with their two first-round picks. In some cases, prognosticators have the Giants landing an offensive tackle and then moving onto linebacker/edge rusher. - One thing we have not seen in many (see: any) mock drafts is Oregon edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux falling. We certainly haven’t seen him slide all the way to No. 5 overall. - Well, that changed in the most recent mock draft published by Pro Football Focus. In it, they not only have Thibodeaux sliding, but ultimately have him landing with the Giants. - 5. NEW YORK GIANTS: EDGE KAYVON THIBODEAUX, OREGON - Thibodeaux coming off the board at No. 5 might feel like a “fall,” given that he was the consensus No. 1 overall pick just a few months ago. But after learning more about the class, it makes more sense that his range falls between Pick 1 and Pick 5. - He still could very well be the first player taken in the draft, but if he’s not, there’s no guarantee he’s the next name after that. His natural gifts as a pass-rusher make him a top-five lock, but I’ll give some hope to Giants fans because I do think it could play out like this, given the talent at the top of the class and the potential team needs in the top five. - Yes, the Giants desperately need a right tackle but there is zero chance they would or even could pass on Thibodeaux should he fall. This would absolutely have to be the pick. - So, that would leave New York to take an OT at No. 7 overall, right? Wrong. - 7. NEW YORK GIANTS (VIA CHI): IOL TYLER LINDERBAUM, IOWA - Yeah, yeah, I know. “You don’t take a center this high.” - However, I genuinely think this is where Linderbaum’s range begins, and I also think there’s a chance he could be the Giants’ second selection. New general manager Joe Schoen comes over from Buffalo, where he served as assistant GM for five years. He was Brandon Beane’s right-hand man, and with 20 years of a scouting background, his voice was likely a very important one in the war room. - The Bills have honed in on the trenches in each of their last three drafts — all five of their first and second-round picks since 2019 were spent on either offensive line or defensive line. - Here, they went with a dynamic, high-ceiling pass protector at No. 5, and I bet Schoen is one of those GMs who simply says, “we’re going to draft great football players in the trenches.” Linderbaum is one of them. - What a first round this would be for the Giants. Nabbing Thibodeaux and Tyler Linderbaum — two impact players who start on Day 1 — would be a coup. - It doesn’t solve the right

Mike Francesa: Giants need to trade for Sean Payton / The New York Giants are currently on the hunt for a head coach and Mike Francesa believes he knows what the organization should do. - The former WFAN host tweeted earlier this week that the Giants and newly hired general manager Joe Schoen should trade for New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton. - - The Giants need to take this opportunity to trade for Sean Payton. He is the right coach to rebuild this mess. - — Mike Francesa (@MikeFrancesa) January 24, 2022 - - - Currently, Payton’s future is very much up in the air. And that’s not just specific to the Saints, but the NFL as a whole. - NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Payton, who has three years remaining on his current deal, has not committed to a New Orleans return. - Meanwhile, Jay Glazer of Sports Illustrated believes Payton may be considering retirement. - “Sean (Payton) changes his mind every two seconds. We talk about it a lot. It’s why I haven’t reported anything because he changes his mind like every two minutes,” Glazer told 105.3 The Fan. - “But that’s also why I said two weeks ago on FOX NFL Sunday during the coaching carousel was that there could be a coach or two step away just because of these last two years of COVID. It’s taken its toll on people.” - Even Saints owner Gayle Benson is uncertain about Payton’s future. - “We don’t know. You know, who knows? We’ll find out soon enough, I guess,” Benson said on Monday. “I don’t think any of us know. But he’ll let us know soon enough.” - There are also rumors swirling that Payton could land with FOX Sports in the event Troy Aikman departs for Amazon. - Payton has spent the past15 seasons coaching the Saints, which comes on the heels of three years as an assistant with the Dallas Cowboys. Prior to that, he spent four years with the Giants — three of those as the offensive coordinator under the late Jim Fassel. - Although Payton would be an ideal solution for the Giants, the team can ill-afford to trade away draft assets for a coach when their roster is so talent-starved. Especially if said coach isn’t sure he even wants to coach anymore. - - List - - 2022 NFL draft: Giants select a new QB in full 7-round mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning -

Lawrence Tynes: Eli Manning more qualified for Canton than Aaron Rodgers / During the latter part of Eli Manning’s career, the debate started over whether or not the two-time Super Bowl champion would get the nod to be inducted into the Hall of Fame when he was eligible. Now, with his playing days in the rearview mirror, the debate continues. - While some of Manning’s accolades certainly put him in the conversation, many “Eli-haters” get stuck on his .500 record and usually fall back on the “well, if you take away the two Super Bowls” argument. - One of Manning’s former New York Giants teammates, kicker Lawrence Tynes, believes Eli happens to be more qualified for the Hall of Fame than a quarterback who will very likely get in on the first ballot: Aaron Rodgers. - - Eli Manning is a more qualified Hall of Famer than Aaron Rodgers. - Bring all the smoke you want. I’m taking 10 over 12 anytime a game is on the line or the playoffs. - — ???????? ????? (@lt4kicks) January 24, 2022 - - - The former kicker’s tweet came following an early exit for the top-seeded Packers in the divisional round of this years playoffs, which included the a sub-par performance by Rodgers. - Tynes had another former teammate, Dave Tollefson, step in and offer some support for the argument. - - I’m here for that smoke too brother!!! https://t.co/FZ1YoSydVw - — David Tollefson (@DTollefson71) January 24, 2022 - - - Certainly, nobody is suggesting that Manning is more talented than Rodgers. However, in a game played to achieve the ultimate prize of winning a Super Bowl, Manning has two Super Bowl rings to Rodger’s one ring. - Manning’s postseason resume is impressive and includes one win at Lambeau Field over the Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers on their way to Super Bowl XLVI. However, Manning’s more impressive Super Bowl run was the earlier of the two when the Giants took down the undefeated New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. - When it’s all said and done, Manning will likely get the nod but the question is more how many years will it take. - - Gallery - Eli Manning retirement press conference: Photos from a Giants goodbye - - - - - - view 52 images - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. -

Giants select QB Matt Corral in latest PFN mock draft / In the latest four-round mock draft from Pro Football

Giants select QB Matt Corral in latest PFN mock draft / In the latest four-round mock draft from Pro Football Network, the New York Giants focus their attention on two very specific areas of need: offensive line and linebacker. - However, the Giants do make an interesting pick later on in the PFN mock draft. But we’ll get to that later. - At No. 5 overall, PFN has the Giants selecting NC State offensive lineman Ikem Ekwonu with Evan Neal already off the board. - Between the Jets and New York Giants, there wasn’t much to celebrate from a football perspective in the Big Apple this last year. The Giants will have a new head coach in place in April, and that could lead the franchise to move on from quarterback Daniel Jones. New coaches often want a clean slate on which to judge their tenure. - However, it would be wiser to avoid this quarterback class and focus on strengthening the trenches to maximize the potential on the roster. That starts with the selection of Ikem Ekwonu with the fifth overall pick in this 2022 4-Round NFL Mock Draft. A violent, mauling offensive tackle who has experience on the interior, the NC State lineman instantly upgrades the Giants’ offensive front no matter where they line him up. - We’ve gone over Ekwonu at length, so there’s no reason to beat a dead horse further. - At No. 7 overall, PFN has the Giants selecting another player who is become a familiar mock to them of late: Michigan linebacker David Ojabo. - There was a serious consideration to doubling up on offensive line prospects with the Giants’ second selection in this 2022 4-Round NFL Mock Draft. However, the defensive need is almost as pressing as the problems along the offensive line. Games are won and lost in the trenches, after all. - Michigan’s David Ojabo has become familiar with winning football games this season. Alongside teammate Hutchinson, Ojabo was a key component of the most successful season in recent Michigan Wolverines history. A fast, agile, pass rusher whose plethora of moves is impressive for a relatively inexperienced player, Ojabo will become a dynamic menace alongside Azeez Ojulari. - Again, we’ve offered our take on Ojabo recently. Plus, it’s the next couple of projected picks where things get really interesting for the Giants. - At No. 36 overall, the Giants land Alabama linebacker Christian Harris before nabbing Virginia Tech guard Lecitus Smith at No. 67 overall. Then, at No. 81 overall, PFN make the noisy pick for the Giants — Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral. - And finally, at No. 109 overall, PFN closes things out for the Giants with Cincinnati running back Jerome Ford. - 36) New York Giants - Christian Harris, LB, Alabama - 67) New York Giants - Lecitus Smith, G, Virginia Tech - 81) New York Giants - Matt Corral, QB, Ole Miss - 109) New York Giants - Jerome Ford, RB, Cincinnati - There are some

Eli Apple unloads on Giants, Saints fans: 'Don't know who I hate more' / New York Giants fans may be surprised to learn that cornerback Eli Apple, the team’s wasted first-round pick in the 2016 NFL draft, still has a spot on an NFL roster. - Apple currently plays for a Cincinnati Bengals team that is bound for the AFC Championship Game. And, at least in part, it’s Apple who helped send them there. - During a divisional round victory over the Tennessee Titans, Apple came up big in the final seconds. As Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill unnecessarily forced a pass into traffic, Apple stepped in and deflected it, leading to a game-changing interception. - A few short plays later, the Bengals connected on a 52-yard field as time expired for the win. - It was undeniably the biggest moment of Apple’s otherwise lackluster career. It was also a big moment for the Bengals, who after decades of losing are headed to their first conference championship game since 1988. - Needless to say, the Bengals and their players have reasons to celebrate. But Apple, who found a rare moment in the spotlight, has chosen to go in a different direction. - Rather than being thrilled for his teammates and the organization, Apple has used the moment to take aim at the New York Giants and New Orleans Saints, their respective fan bases and the reporters who cover each team. - - Shut up sucka boy - — Eli Apple (@EliApple) January 23, 2022 - - - - Idk which fan base I hate more prolly the saints but It’s close wit the giants it’s a toss up - — Eli Apple (@EliApple) January 24, 2022 - - - - this what I wanna do to them ravens saints and giants fans https://t.co/DzCSou9hVt - — Eli Apple (@EliApple) January 24, 2022 - - - - When’s that giants playoff game start ? https://t.co/LBE4kZcc08 - — Eli Apple (@EliApple) January 24, 2022 - - - - Bitter as hell https://t.co/BIW10lxBwO - — Eli Apple (@EliApple) January 24, 2022 - - - Apple proceeded to insult New Orleans culture and food, calling the city “dirty” and implying its residents are angry and stupid. He took similar aim at New Jersey and Giants fans before also spewing venom in the direction of the Tennessee Titans and wide receiver Julio Jones. - Apple has never before had a big moment, so please excuse him for not understanding how to handle it properly. After years of being roasted like peanuts on the field and being called a “cancer” by his teammates, he finally has a reason to gloat. And you better believe the man once named the Giants’ worst draft pick since 2006 is going to use every second of those 15 minutes. - It will likely be short-lived, however.

Report: Patrick Graham has interest in remaining Giants' defensive coordinator / The New York Giants will interview Patrick Graham for their vacant head coaching position but if that doesn’t work out, might he return as defensive coordinator? - Obviously, it’s a very fluid situation with Graham, who will also interview with the Pittsburgh Steelers for their defensive coordinator job, but the possibility exists. - Ralph Vacchiano of SNY reports that Graham has at least some level of interest in returning as Giants’ DC if he does not land a head coaching job. And, of course, assuming the next head coach wants to keep him around. - The 42-year-old Graham, who will be interviewed for the Giants head coaching vacancy, is interested in staying on as the defensive coordinator under a new head coach, according to someone familiar with his thinking. And many believe the Giants would be open to his return in the right situation. - Graham has repeatedly called coaching the Giants’ defensive his “dream job,” so it stands to reason he’d be open to returning. - “You know, any time opportunities present themselves, you’re excited. Again, has a lot less to do with me and more the guys, the players here, we played decent defense as the year went on, a lot of room to grow. To me, the Giants, this is my dream job to be here as the defensive coordinator for the New York Giants. So I’m just happy to be here,” Graham told reporters in June. - “Goes back to my days at Notre Dame with [Giants co-director of player personnel] Tim McDonnell when I knew him, a lot of my mentors, the people that I learned football from had connection with the New York Giants. That’s important to me.” - One other aspect that made coaching the Giants’ defense Graham’s “dream job” was that he got to do it alongside his close personal friend, Joe Judge. That, obviously, will change should he return. - The Giants may have fired Judge, but two of the top head candidates are Brian Daboll and Brian Flores — both of whom have worked with Graham in the past and who have relationships with him away from football. - Graham also has big supporters in East Rutherford. - According to a team source, ownership’s feelings about Graham haven’t changed, which is a big reason why he’s getting an interview for the head coaching job — the only interview he’s been offered this cycle, so far. - Several dominoes still need to fall into place in order for Graham to remain in East Rutherford, but it’s clearly something he is considering. And something ownership has already considered. - - List - - 2022 NFL draft: Giants select a new QB in full 7-round mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

He drew head coaching interest during the 2021 hiring cycle, but rebuffed the New York Jets and other potential teams. Instead, he signed an extension to remain with the Giants. - When the Giants fired head coach Joe Judge, Graham’s status was immediately thrust into the air. The two were close personal friends and Graham opted to stay with the Giants due, in part, to Judge’s presence. - It remains possible that Graham returns to the Giants in 2022, but there will be other options out there for him. And while he has not yet received any other requests for head coaching interviews, his time will eventually come — something he’s left the door open to. - Should the Giants approve the Steelers’ request — and there’s no reason to believe they won’t — Graham will likely interview for both positions this week. - - List - - 2022 NFL draft: Giants select a new QB in full 7-round mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Robbie Gould sought advice from Lawrence Tynes before Saturday's game-winner / Former New York Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes knows a thing or two about kicking clutch field goals in the postseason. He is the only player in the history of the NFL to kick two overtime game-winning field goals in the playoffs. - In the 2007 NFC Championship Game against the Green Bay Packers, Tynes kicked the longest field goal in Lambeau Field’s postseason history — 47 yards — to propel the Giants into Super Bowl XLII. Four years later, his 31-yarder in overtime in the 2011 NFC Championship Game sent the Giants back to the Super Bowl. - This week, another former Giant kicker Robbie Gould, now with San Francisco, corresponded with Tynes to gather some advice as he headed out to Lambeau for the divisional playoff game against the Packers. - - Robbie Gould texted Lawrence Tynes (NY Giants).who nailed a FG of similar length to eliminate Green Bay in the cold in a previous NFC title, during the week for advice. - It worked - — David Lombardi (@LombardiHimself) January 23, 2022 - - - - Wow. @lt4kicks told us on Blue Rush podcast that Robbie Gould called him this week for advice on how to kick in these conditions in Green Bay. - Gould just kicked the 49ers to the NFC Championship. - Credit goes to Lawrence Tynes - — Jake Brown (@JakeBrownRadio) January 23, 2022 - - - Coincidentally, Gould, who was with the Giants in 2016, hit a 45-yarder with no time left to seal a 13-10 upset victory for the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night.

Joe Banner: Joe Schoen is proof Giants changed their ways / The New York Giants have fallen off the map

Joe Banner: Joe Schoen is proof Giants changed their ways / The New York Giants have fallen off the map over the past decade, and that’s due in large part to their fierce loyalty to the old guard. They love familiarity, friends and family — something that has rotted the organization from the core. - It’s a sore subject for team co-owner John Mara, who vehemently denied nepotism exists in his year-end press conference. - “The perception [that family members aren’t held to accountability during this stretch] has been created by you and others,” Mara chided a reporter. “The reality is that in terms of my brother (Chris Mara), my brother spent the bulk of his time doing the evaluation of college players. His grades go into our system, and he participates in the draft. - “All personnel decisions in this building, and this has always been the case, have been made by the general manager and the head coach. When they agree on a decision, they come to me with it. As long as they are both in agreement, I okay it.” - Those comments came mere moments after Chris Mara had just sat in on a general manager interview. - Days later, Dan Duggan of The Athletic dropped an article that also seemed to refute John Mara’s view on things. Several former scouts and team employees remarked on Chris’ role and the authority he carries. - It didn’t sit well with some colleagues when Chris Mara, a partner in Starlight Racing, left the Giants’ war room during the third day of the 2015 draft to watch his horse run in the Kentucky Derby. New York made one pick during Mara’s flight to Louisville and another after he arrived at Churchill Downs. “Look, if we were in the first or second round today, I probably wouldn’t be here,” Mara told a Sports Illustrated reporter chronicling his double duty. - “Is that really your priority over what we’re doing here in the draft?” a former member of the front office said. “It’s something that all the other guys just couldn’t do.” - Chris doesn’t go on the road to scout college games during the fall. His in-person scouting is typically limited to postseason all-star games, the scouting combine and college pro days. According to multiple current members of the organization, he has been less hands-on in recent years. - “I think he figures, ‘[Expletive] it, I’ll come around when I want to,’” a former Giants coach said. “He’s not answering to anybody.” - But the hiring of Joe Schoen as general manager has given some hope. He was a legitimate outside guy with no direct ties to the organization, and he appears to be in control of the head coaching interviews. - In the mind of former NFL executive Joe Banner, who spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns and Atlanta Falcons, this is proof that the Giants have finally changed their way of doing business. - “The Giants

Giants' Saquon Barkley on down years: 'The storm don't last forever' / There were high expectations for both the New

Giants' Saquon Barkley on down years: 'The storm don't last forever' / There were high expectations for both the New York Giants and running back Saquon Barkley entering the 2021 regular season. However, both fell well sort of their goals. - The Giants finished the season with a 4-13 record, leading to the “retirement” of general manager Dave Gettleman and the termination of head coach Joe Judge. Barkley, meanwhile, gained just 856 yards from scrimmage and was routinely plagued by injury. - It was not the comeback Barkley envisioned for himself nor the one fans envisioned for him. - Despite his struggles, Barkley kept putting in the work and had a mild resurgence over the final weeks. He now intends to attack the offseason and come back strong in 2022 — the final year of his current contract. - “Just going back to the basics. Working on the little things, coming in every single day and just trying to get better no matter the circumstance,” Barkley told Madelyn Burke of Giants.com. “I’m going to continue to keep that (mindset) throughout my career, especially going into the offseason. - “Just keep your head down and keep working. That’s the only thing I know how to turn things around and how to get back to where I want to get back to as a player, and where I want to help the team get to. And it starts with work ethic.” - Barkley knows a little something about adversity and work ethic. He suffered a torn ACL early in the 2020 season and spent the next calendar year recovering. - That process taught the former first-round pick quite a bit. - “Patience,” Barkley said when asked what he learned while recovering. “You don’t want to rush things. Something is taken away from you for a little bit so you get to see a different point of view on things, I guess you could say. But I really think this process helped me grow as a player, as a person, as a father, as a brother and as a friend. - “I’ve learned so much from this rehab — ACL, MCL and meniscus. Learned a lot from it. But the things I’ve learned from this year and last offseason is going to help me. That’s the only thing I keep telling myself and keep believing because the storm don’t last forever. So, just got to be ready when the storm is done.” - Headed into another offseason of major change, Barkley says he will have tunnel vision. What the team does is above his pay grade, so instead he’ll focus on finally returning to form. - “I just want to train. I just want to get back. Get my body right, attack it and get back to my explosiveness. There were a lot of things I wish I was able to do last offseason and couldn’t, so I’m definitely never going to take that for granted again. Just get to work, block out

Giants select familiar names in latest Sporting News mock draft / Mock draft season has gotten off to a feverish

Giants select familiar names in latest Sporting News mock draft / Mock draft season has gotten off to a feverish start but when it comes to the New York Giants, things have been remarkably uniform. - From Mel Kiper Jr. to our friends over at Draft Wire, most projections have the Giants sticking to the same four or five names. And such was the case in the most recent mock draft released by Vinnie Iyer of The Sporting News. - In it, the Giants draft two players who are among the most frequently mocked to them. This time however, the picks came in reverse order. - At No. 5 overall, Iyer has the Giants taking Iowa State center Tyler Linderbaum. - The Giants would be smart to target the offensive line in the first round, perhaps multiple times. to boost both Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley. Linderbaum, an intelligent rock of an interior blocker and a perfect long-term line leader, would be a great fit, too, as a major upgrade from Billy Price. - Linderbaum, who is universally believed to be the best at his position and a likely Giants target, usually goes at No. 7 overall. But with his stock rising, Iyer made the right call and had him off the board with the first of the Giants’ two first-round picks. - At No. 7 overall, the Giants select NC State offensive lineman Ikem Ekwonu. - The Giants get another strong blocker with their two top-10 picks, Ekwonu is a strong, powerful run blocker with the nasty streak needed to dominate at times. He can play either inside or outside in the NFL, but with Linderbaum bolstering the middle, it would be nice to have Ekwonu flank left tackle Andrew Thomas on the right side. - If the Giants can’t land both Evan Neal and Linderbaum, the combination of Ekwonu and Linderbaum will suffice. It’s hard to imagine any Giants fans being upset with two Day 1 starters along the offensive line. - - List - - 2022 NFL draft: Giants select a new QB in full 7-round mock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Bill Parcells gives Giants his stamp of approval for Joe Schoen hire / Joe Schoen, the man the New York Giants hired on Friday to replace general manager Dave Gettleman, has a two-decade record of success in personnel departments across the NFL. - One particular stop along the way was in Miami, where he worked under the great Bill Parcells from 2008-2010. Schoen was a national scout and Parcells was the vice president of football operations. - Parcells believes the Giants made the right choice in Schoen to head up their latest reboot. - “I like Joe,” Parcells told the New York Post. “Having worked with him, I think he’s a very good evaluator of talent in the NFL, and he’s a serious personnel man. . . he’s very, very conscientious.” - Schoen is one of many players and coaches influenced by Parcells over the past four decades. He has mutual respect for his former boss. - “When you’re around him, he’s always coaching,” Schoen once said of the former two-time Super Bowl-winning coach. “I was a national scout at the time, didn’t know him from Adam, and we’d be in a meeting and he’d say, ‘You know what Tom Landry used to tell me?’ I’m like, ‘Oh my God! Tom Landry, Bill Parcells, and he’s about to tell me something that they talked about?’ - “I was always typing stuff, writing stuff down. He gave so much information. It was just awesome to be around him. You know he’s a Hall of Famer, you know he’s one of the best ever, but then when you’re around him, you see how genuine he is as a person.

Report: Giants' Joe Schoen believes Daniel Jones can be his QB / Who will start under center for the New

Report: Giants' Joe Schoen believes Daniel Jones can be his QB / Who will start under center for the New York Giants in 2022? Will newly hired general manager Joe Schoen wipe the slate clean and move on from quarterback Daniel Jones? - Apparently, the answer to that is “no.” - During a recent appearance on the Blue Rush podcast with Lawrence Tynes, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reported that Schoen believes in Jones and that the 24-year-old will remain in East Rutherford next season. - “I was told that Joe Schoen believes that Daniel Jones can be his quarterback. He didn’t go into (the GM interview) and say, ‘number one, Daniel Jones it out. We’re drafting a quarterback or we’re signing one.’ - “What I was told is there was talk about the offensive line being really bad and about all the injuries to his skill players that compromised what Daniel Jones can do more than Joe Schoen saying, ‘I don’t like your quarterback at all.'” - Does that mean Jones is a lock to have his fifth-year option picked up? No. That almost certainly will not happen. And nothing will be handed to Jones, either. - “The position will still be upgraded. They will increase the competition,” Schwartz added. “Look, am I saying that because (Schoen) thinks he can work with Daniel Jones that they will not draft a quarterback over the first couple days of the draft? I am not saying that. A rising tide raises all ships, right?” - Schwartz also believes that based on the information he’s gathered, Jones will be QB1 in 2022. However, there will be a new QB2 — one specifically added to push Jones for the starting spot. - That’s a notion Schwartz doubled down on in a recent article for The Post. - “What do you think of Daniel Jones?’’ was one of the very first questions the owners asked of the GM candidates. It is believed that Schoen said he can make it work with Jones, that Jones was hurt by a bad offensive line and too many injuries to his skill players. - Expect Jones, if his sprained neck is fully healed, to be the No. 1 quarterback in 2022. That does not mean the Giants will ignore the position. Schoen will upgrade the competition around Jones, but do not dismiss the possibility of taking a quarterback in the first three rounds of the NFL draft. Schoen, in his first year with Buffalo, watched Tyrod Taylor help the Bills end a 17-year playoff drought, but that didn’t stop the team from taking Josh Allen with its first pick in the 2018 draft. - With limited options in free agency and a less-than-stellar group of prospects in the 2022 NFL draft, Jones always seemed destined to return as QB1. If there had been more meat on the bone for the Giants to pick from this offseason, perhaps things would be different. Instead, Jones may have lucked out

Giants select Ikem Ekwonu, Devin Lloyd in latest Daniel Jeremiah mock draft / The New York Giants hold two top

Giants select Ikem Ekwonu, Devin Lloyd in latest Daniel Jeremiah mock draft / The New York Giants hold two top 10 picks in the 2022 NFL draft. The burden of making both selections count will fall on the new general manager Joe Schoen. - The Giants have a plethora of needs entering the 2022 offseason and one need that has remained consistent for as long as Giants fans can remember is on the offensive line. - Specifically, in 2021, the Giants lacked any stability at the right tackle position. With a combination of Matt Peart and Nate Solder manning down that position, Giants quarterbacks were constantly pressured. - This is why NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah predicts that New York will select Ikem Ekwonu, a talented redshirt-sophomore out of N.C. State, with the fifth overall pick. - This would be a home-run pick for a team in need of upgrades along the offensive line. Andrew Thomas has emerged as a legit starter, but the Giants need more help for Daniel Jones. Ekwonu is strong, powerful and nasty. - Ekwonu was a bulldozer in college as he dominated in the run game and locked down his side of the line in pass protection. The 6-foot-4 320 pound tackle should be able to come in and make an instant difference playing alongside Andrew Thomas. - With the seventh overall pick, Jeremiah predicts that the Giants will select Devin Lloyd, a senior linebacker out of Utah. The Giants are in need of a versatile linebacker to pair up with Blake Martinez and Lloyd would provide just that. - Lloyd is a fun player to study. He flies around the field and makes a bunch of plays on the ball. His intangibles are off the charts. I could see the 2021 Pac-12 Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year emerge as a key leader for the Giants’ defense. - Lloyd had an amazing breakout season in 2021 where he did almost everything for the Utes. He recorded 111 tackles, eight sacks, four interceptions, and two touchdowns. He was a true difference-maker which is why he earned 2021 Pac-12 Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year. - - List - - 15 head coach candidates Giants could consider - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll

Moments later, he got to work. - Schoen sat down and interviewed Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll for the team’s head coaching job.

Report: Joe Schoen told Giants early on they were his No. 1 choice / The moment Dave Gettleman “retired” as general manager of the New York Giants, Joe Schoen became the favorite to replace him. - Although Schoen, who had been serving as assistant general manager of the Buffalo Bills, had other teams calling him (see: Chicago Bears), he always had eyes for the Giants. And when he first met with co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch, he told them as much. - - The Giants were never terribly concerned that Joe Schoen might take an offer from the Bears or anyone else because Schoen told them during the process that they were his No. 1 choice. - — Ian O'Connor (@Ian_OConnor) January 21, 2022 - - - There had been some lingering concern that the Giants were interviewing too large a pool of candidates and perhaps dragging their feet a bit. However, GM and head coaching interviews took place at a slower pace this year and ultimately, Mara and Tisch did not feel rushed. That was aided by Schoen’s early commitment. - As patient as the trio was over the past two weeks, they’ve sped things up over the past 24 hours. Schoen got to work immediately after being hired, which was true to his word. - “It is an honor to accept the position of general manager of the New York Giants,” said Schoen. “I want to thank John Mara and Steve Tisch and their families for this tremendous opportunity. And obviously I am grateful to Brandon and the Bills for the experience I have had in Buffalo. - “Now, the work begins. My immediate focus is to hire a head coach, with who I will work in lockstep with to create a collaborative environment for our football operations. We will cast a wide net, it can be former head coaches, first-time head coaches but, more importantly, it has to be a person who possesses the ability to lead an organization and the ability to motivate and develop players. On the personnel side, we will begin to evaluate our roster and prepare for the draft and free agency.

Could Bill O'Brien emerge as OC candidate if Giants hire Brian Flores? / The New York Giants have shored up

Could Bill O'Brien emerge as OC candidate if Giants hire Brian Flores? / The New York Giants have shored up their general manager situation, hiring Joe Schoen on Friday, and have now moved onto their head coaching search. - Already, Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll has been interviewed and Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier is next in line on Saturday. After that, the Giants will reportedly turn their attention to former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores. - Although Daboll appears to have the upper hand due to his connection to Schoen, Giants co-owner John Mara personally reached out to Flores and told him he’s a serious candidate. - In the event the Giants do hire Flores, who is he likely to bring along with him? Well, Art Stapleton of USA TODAY suggests eyes be kept on Bill O’Brien. - - One name I've heard mentioned as an OC possibility if Brian Flores were to land as head coach with Giants: - Bill O'Brien. - Not the only choice, obviously, and no guarantee that it would happen, but names are always fun. - And OC is absolutely a big part of Flores' candidacy imo. - — Art Stapleton (@art_stapleton) January 21, 2022 - - - O’Brien is an interesting potential option for a multitude of reasons. His name will, of course, set off some alarm bells for how poorly he handled the Houston Texans’ general manager job. Some will also question his career as head coach despite posting a 52-48 record with four playoff appearances over six-plus seasons. - O’Brien also previously served as offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots in 2011 — the same year they lost to the Giants in Super Bowl XLVI. That season, the Pats finished second overall in offense. - But beyond just being a lightning rod, what makes O’Brien’s name interesting is his connection to quarterback Deshaun Watson — the same Watson that Flores reportedly wants to team up with at his next destination. The pair would likely push for a trade of Watson, creating an interesting dynamic in East Rutherford right of the gate. - We’re a long way off from having those conversations, however. Flores, although a serious candidate, is far from a shoo-in. And then there’s no guarantee he’d offer the job to O’Brien or that O’Brien would take it.

Bill GM Brandon Beane: Joe Schoen will never let Giants down / The New York Giants hired Joe Schoen as

Bill GM Brandon Beane: Joe Schoen will never let Giants down / The New York Giants hired Joe Schoen as their general manager on Friday, poaching him from the Buffalo Bills and their GM, Brandon Beane. - Shortly after the announcement that Schoen had been hired, Beane gathered reporters from both East Rutherford and Buffalo on a conference call. Throughout, he spoke highly of Schoen and what he will bring to the Giants. - “I’m sad personally to lose Joe and I know a lot of people in the building will be,” Beane said. “He is such a good person and he really worked hard for us these last five seasons, but it’s a gain for the Giants. I’m happy for him, Marie and their family. They’re going to do great. - “He’s a great evaluator. He’s a great communicator. He’s a really good leader. He can talk to the owner, he can talk to anybody, a sponsor, fans, whoever. He just knows how to relate. He’s very personable, a family guy. I can go on and on. - “We’ll miss him. You don’t replace people like that right away.” - Beane believes Schoen is perfectly suited to take on the role of GM, having been involved in every aspect of a day-to-day responsibilities during his years in Buffalo. - “I let Joe be involved in everything and if he wasn’t in a meeting . . . he was in many of ’em, but if he was not I shared with him the reasoning behind it so that he could understand that,” Beane said. “Joe has dealt with agents, he has recruited players here. He understands all of that stuff. He’s got great relationships with other GMs, assistant GMs, personnel directors, coaches around the league. Those are all the reasons I think he’s gonna be very successful when he gets himself planted there in New York.” - One thing Beane also guaranteed is that Schoen will never let the Giants down. - “Dependable,” Beane said. “He’s never gonna let you down. In this job you can’t be everywhere. I can’t be with the scouts and also with the coaches or also down in the training room and he was another set of eyes and ears and he’s just, I know it’s gonna be done the right way. I didn’t have to go back behind him, and this goes back to when he was working for me in Carolina. There’s so many adjectives that I could describe Joe, dependable is one, he’ll never let you down.” - Beane added that he and Schoen have already discussed the Giants’ salary cap problem, while Schoen acknowledged digging into personnel within hours of being hired. Schoen has also been involved in one head coaching interview and will conduct his second on Saturday. - By all accounts, Schoen has hit the ground running and is already living up to Beane’s praise. - - List - - 15 head coach candidates Giants could consider

Report: Giants to interview Bills' Brian Daboll, Leslie Frazier on Saturday / After announcing the hiring of Joe Schoen as the new general manager, the New York Giants are expected to interview Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier on Saturday, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. - With Schoen now leading the search for a new head coach, it was expected that he would be bringing in his former colleagues for head coach interviews. - As of Friday evening, the Giants are expected to interview both candidates before their AFC divisional-round matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Panthers to hire ex-Giants coach Ben McAdoo / When Ben McAdoo was fired as the head coach of New York Giants late in the 2017 season, he became sort of an odd-man out in NFL circles. He was the guy who benched Eli Manning in favor of Geno Smith to disastrous results and also the coach whose tenure was marred by the infamous “boat trip” as the team prepared for the 2017 playoffs. - McAdoo has worked in the league since, however. - After a two-year absence, McAdoo resurfaced as the quarterbacks coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2020. Last season, he served as a consultant to Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy, who McAdoo worked under in Green Bay before being hired as the Giants’ offensive coordinator in 2014. - Now, McAdoo is expected to be return to the sidelines in Carolina as the offensive coordinator of the Panthers. - - The #Panthers are expected to hire former #Giants HC and ex-#Packers OC Ben McAdoo as their offensive coordinator, sources say. They need to work out the contract, but there aren’t expected to be issues. McAdoo is back as an OC, where he initially rose to prominence. - — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 21, 2022 - - - Matt Rhule and McAdoo are both connecting branches on the Tom Coughlin coaching tree. Rhule is in trouble and is seeking an experienced replacement for the recently fired Joe Brady. - The 44-year-old McAdoo has 16 years of NFL experience, including a Super Bowl ring with Green Bay. As the Giants’ OC, McAdoo improved the offense from 28th in 2014 to 13th in 2014 and then to sixth in 2015. - - List - - Giants hire Joe Schoen as GM: Here's how Twitter reacted - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Report: Giants' John Mara personally reached out to Brian Flores / The New York Giants have hired Joe Schoen as their next general manager, which means the search for a new head coach can commence. - Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn has already been requested for an interview, but he will not be alone. The Giants are also expected to request interviews with former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores and Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. - There will likely be others. - What’s interesting however, is that Giants co-owner John Mara reportedly reached out to Flores prior to the hiring of Schoen. Additionally, Mara is telling coaching candidates that the team is willing to eat a boatload of dead cap in order to clear some space for 2022. - - John Mara reached out to Brian Flores a couple of nights ago, a source told The Post. Very good conversation. Mara assured Flores that he's a serious candidate and that Giants will be willing to eat money to clear up some cap space…This could be Flores-Daboll steel cage match. - — Ian O'Connor (@Ian_OConnor) January 21, 2022 - - - This approach is interesting because Mara and fellow co-owner, Steve Tisch, previously stated the new GM would “oversee all aspects of our football operations, including player personnel, college scouting and coaching.” - That already appears to be an untruth with the request to interview Quinn and the private phone call to Flores. It also flies in the face of Schoen’s first remarks as Giants GM, in which he claimed the head coaching search would be wide-ranging. - “Now, the work begins. My immediate focus is to hire a head coach, with who I will work in lockstep with to create a collaborative environment for our football operations. We will cast a wide net, it can be former head coaches, first-time head coaches but, more importantly, it has to be a person who possesses the ability to lead an organization and the ability to motivate and develop players,” Schoen said. - Mara promised to stay out of the way but he can’t seem to help himself. Hopefully for the Giants’ sake, he was just trying to get some ducks in a row so Schoen could hit the ground running without a leash. - - List - - Giants hire Joe Schoen as GM: Here's how Twitter reacted - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured -

Giants new GM Joe Schoen faces tall task ushering in new era / - - - The New York Giants are finalizing a deal to make Joe Schoen (pronounced SHANE for those wondering) their new general manager. - That leads to the next question: What can Schoen do to turn this listing Giants’ ship around? - - The quotes I've got from co-workers and those who know Joe Schoen around the league: - "Really smart." "Dude is gonna outwork you." "Earned keep." "Straight-forward." "Great communicator." "Well-rounded." "Home run." - — Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) January 21, 2022 - - - First off, Schoen, if empowered, must take this dusty rug of an organization out into the backyard and beat it until all of the dust is gone. If John Mara doesn’t allow him to make the vital institutional changes in the scouting, medical, conditioning and personnel ranks this hire will have all for naught. - “We are looking for a person who demonstrates exceptional leadership and communication abilities,’’ CEO John Mara said recently. “Somebody who will oversee all aspects of our football operations, including player personnel, college scouting and coaching.’’ - If he does get empowered, Schoen can lead the Giants back to prominence through proper scouting and drafting and not overpaying for players. The other part of that equation is keeping those player healthy and on the field. - Schoen could very likely hire an offensive mind who can develop fourth-year quarterback Daniel Jones. One coaching candidate is a natural fit – Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll who turned Josh Allen from a raw rookie into one of the NFL’s most dynamic players. Many believe Jones possesses some similar characteristics that Allen has. - It will be interesting to see what Schoen thinks of Jones. After all, having the right quarterback is the key to success in this league. He must have told the Maras and Steve Tisch that he can likely salvage and/or develop Jones as the Giants appear to still be tethered to him. - “Throughout our search, Joe impressed us with his ability to communicate a progressive and comprehensive vision for our team. His philosophy and collaborative approach to building a roster and coaching staff align with what we were looking for in a general manager,’ Mara said in a statement on Friday. - “Joe is the kind of exceptional leader we sought to oversee our football operations,” said chairman Steve Tisch. “We will do whatever it takes to support Joe’s vision and strategic plan for success. We are excited to begin this next chapter with Joe as our general manager.” - A new era is about to begin in East Rutherford. If Schoen is sold on Jones, he can begin to rectify the many mistakes his predecessor, Dave Gettleman, made. The salary cap must be addressed. The medical and conditioning staff has to come up with answers to why they lead the league in injuries almost every year and

Report: Giants expected to interview Brian Flores, Brian Daboll / The New York Giants are hiring Joe Schoen as their next general manager, which means the rush to find a new head coach is on. - That search has already begun with the Giants requesting an interview with Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. - In addition to Quinn, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Giants are expected to request interviews with former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores and Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. - - Giants are expected to request permission to speak with former Dolphins' HC Brian Flores for their HC position, per sources. - Flores is from Brooklyn and Giants would represent a homecoming. - Giants also expected to speak with Dan Quinn and Brian Daboll, amongst others. - — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) January 21, 2022 - - - After his surprising departure from the Miami Dolphins this offseason, Flores has been one of the hottest names among head coach candidates. While the Dolphins were 24-25 during his three seasons in South Beach, they were 24-18 over his final 42 games. - Flores comes from the Bill Belichick tree, which may rub some fans the wrong way by doubling down after Joe Judge. However, the Brooklyn native has proven he can build a locker room culture. - Daboll, on the other hand, is an interesting candidate for many reasons. One, he already has an established rapport with Schoen as the Bills offensive coordinator since 2018. Over the last two seasons, the Bills offense has ranked first and second in points per game, respectively. - The Giants still have a long way to go before finding their head coach but it wouldn’t be a shock if it wound up being one of these three candidates. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

In total, he has more than 20 years of scouting and executive experience. - Prior to joining the Bills, Schoen broke into the NFL as a ticket office intern with the Carolina Panthers in 2000.

Giants are the NFL's most-injured team since 2009 / The New York Giants are back in the wilderness after winning two Super Bowls earlier this century. Under head coach Tom Coughlin, the Giants became an NFC power reeling off a stretch of above-.500 seasons from 2005-2012 with three first place finishes and five postseason appearances. - They had done it despite an unusually high spate of injuries. But beginning in 2013, the organization continued to have difficulty keeping players healthy. And combined with some poor drafts by general manager Jerry Reese, they collapsed under their own weight. - The only exception was their 11-5 finish in 2016, when — you guessed it — they managed to keep their injuries in check. - Since then, the Giants have been at the top of the league in a category called “man games lost” and it’s no wonder they’ve become bottom-dwellers, losing 10 or more games in seven of the last eight seasons. - - The New York Giants were the most injured team in the NFL this season pushing them to #1 in the number of games missed by injured players since the 2009 season https://t.co/8q7ny5OjQ5 pic.twitter.com/GPCQGcV6uI - — Man Games Lost NFL (@ManGamesLostNFL) January 20, 2022 - - - This is the real culprit of the Giants’ demise. It has sunk four coaches: Coughlin, Ben McAdoo, Pat Shurmur and now Joe Judge. The Giants are in the midst of a “reset,” searching for a new general manager and head coach, but unless they can get to the root of this problem, those hired will be doomed to the same fate as their predecessors. - What needs to be done in East Rutherford is co-owner John Mara needs to fire himself. He needs to hire a football czar and let that person restructure the entire organization from top to bottom. Until that is done, Giant fans should expect more of the same. - That is, unless Mara cedes authority to his new GM and allows him the broad power to make the major institutional changes that are so desperately needed. - - List - - 15 head coach candidates Giants could consider - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day

Giants select QB Desmond Ridder in Dane Brugler's latest mock draft / The New York Giants own the No. 5

Giants select QB Desmond Ridder in Dane Brugler's latest mock draft / The New York Giants own the No. 5 and No. 7 overall picks in the 2022 NFL draft. They will need to use both these selections correctly as they attempt to rebuild this struggling organization. - In Dane Brugler’s latest mock draft for The Athletic, the Giants addressed two big positions of need. With the fifth overall pick, the Giants selected Evan Neal, an offensive tackle out of Alabama. - Slowly but surely, Andrew Thomas is progressing at left tackle, but the right tackle spot was a glaring weak spot for the Giants this past season. Nate Solder has likely played his last snap with the franchise, and Matt Peart hasn’t done enough to keep the Giants from finding an upgrade this offseason. - Neal has functional experience at guard and both tackle spots and would be an immediate improvement on the Giants’ offensive line depth chart. His balance will fade as the play progresses, but he has a rare mix of size, athleticism and flexibility to make plays in pass protection and the run game. - The right tackle spot for the Giants has been as bad as it can come over the past few years. With a combination of Matt Peart and Nate Solder, the right side of the line has been a turnstile. - Going forward the Giants will need to do more than put a band-aid on this crucial issue and look for a permanent solution. Evan Neal is a rare talent and likely the best tackle in this draft class. The 6-7 Crimson Tide prospect possesses a rare combination of size and technique that few linemen possess. - Brugler projects that with the seventh overall pick, the Giants select Kyle Hamilton, a safety out of Notre Dame. - Safety isn’t the most glaring need on the Giants’ depth chart, but with a new general manager and head coach, they will be looking to draft impact players, above everything else, in the top 10. And Hamilton might be the most talented player in the draft, regardless of position. - At 6-3 and 218 pounds, Hamilton is a super-sized safety with the range and length to be a matchup weapon in the NFL. Though his physical traits stand out, it is his football IQ that is most impressive, sensing what is about to happen and being disruptive. - With the likely departure of Jabrill Peppers, the Giants will potentially need to add another safety this offseason. Hamilton is said to be a generational talent with his elite 6–foot-3, 218-pound frame. - Hamilton had an impressive 138 tackles and eight interceptions as a Fighting Irish defender. He was constantly all over the field making big play after big play. - Finally, in Round 2, Brugler has the Giants going with a quarterback — Desmond Ridder out of Cincinnati. - This combination of selections for the Giants win Round 1 would be a dream come true as

James Daniels named a free agent the Giants should pursue / It seems that almost every offseason the New York Giants are trying to rebuild their offensive line. While they appear to have one of the five positions down with Andrew Thomas, the rest of the line does not seem very formidable. - To help fix this need, Pro Football Focus suggests that the Giants sign James Daniels. - Daniels was the 20th-ranked guard of the 2021 season with a PFF grade of 71.8 as he anchored a sub-par Chicago Bears offensive line. - The Giants’ handling of their interior offensive line this past offseason was baffling, to say the least, trading for two eventual starters just before the season began. They need to stop with the bandaids and make a big move to solidify the unit for quarterback Daniel Jones or whoever will be under center in 2022. - Daniels will still be just 24 years old in Week 1 and has experience playing at all three spots on the interior. Starting at right guard in 2021, he earned a career-high 72.4 run-blocking grade as Chicago leaned further into an outside-zone rushing attack. Daniels has four straight seasons with grades above 65.0 despite constantly changing positions and with the Bears switching from a predominantly inside-zone scheme to the ever-popular wide-zone system. There may be serious untapped potential here. - Daniels has played four seasons in the NFL and has appeared in 54 games with 48 starts. Most recently in 2021, Daniels finally broke out and demonstrated why he was a top offensive line talent from Iowa as he was able to stay healthy starting all 17 games and “earned a career-high 72.4 run-blocking grade.” - Daniels was also an above-average pass blocker as he recorded a PFF pass-blocking grade of 69.3. - The Giants desperately need someone like Daniels on the line as they were the ninth-worst rushing team in 2021, totaling just 1,688 rushing yards. Giants’ quarterbacks were also sacked 38 times and were under constant pressure, inhibiting the offense’s ability to be explosive. - It’s clear that the Giants need to seriously address the offensive front in this rebuild. With this former Hawkeye, they can attempt to start their rebuild from inside the trenches. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - -

Mathias Kiwanuka: It's imperative Giants get GM, coaching search right / Ever since Tom Coughlin was shown the door by the New York Giants, the head coaching position has been a revolving door. Additionally, the Giants’ general manager performance has also left plenty to be desired. - As the Giants continue their GM and head coaching scouting, the importance of these two particular searches are more important than ever as the Giants need to turn it around in a hurry. - Former Giant and two-time Super Bowl champion, Mathias Kiwanuka, spoke to Giants Wire this week regarding his show “Odds with Ends” on MSG Network and was asked about the Giants’ GM and head coaching searches. - Although Kiwanuka had instability in his career in regards to being switched back-and-forth from linebacker to defensive end, his coaches were pretty consistent throughout. The former two-time champ was asked how important this particular time around that Big Blue’s searches go right. - “It’s imperative… I’ve had very strong coaching experiences throughout my entire career actually. Even going back to college, Tom O’Brien was there my entire time, my high school coach was there my entire time, like I never had to deal with a changing of the guard from the head position,” Kiwanuka said. “We had multiple coordinators, we had at least two D-Line coaches but the head coach, the main message remained the same. - “So I think, if it’s wrong it needs to be changed. It’s better to make big sweeping changes one time than to continue putting duck tape on a broken situation. So, I think this time — not to say it wasn’t last time — but it’s very imperative that the search goes correct. What I mean by correct is that regardless of who that person is in that position, they get the desired results, which is a championship.” - As if the trend wasn’t strong enough, this year’s playoff teams consist mostly of teams whose head coaches are offensive-minded. While the offense is in desperate need to get fixed, Kiwanuka doesn’t feel it’s important for the Giants to get an offensive-focused head coach: - “I think that’s an area where we’re (the Giants) are definitely struggling. I think Patrick Graham has done a decent job defensively, scheme-wise, motivation-wise in getting those guys prepared and ready. I think it’s imperative that the offense is fixed,” Kiwanuka said. “Maybe because I was a defensive player, I don’t necessarily think you need to have an offensive-minded head coach, you just need a great offensive-minded coach or offensive coordinator to be in control of the offense. - “So, if you are going to go with a defensive-minded coach, he needs to understand his limitations and bring in somebody and allow that person to fix the offense. The offense needs to be fixed, the offensive line has to be fixed, the quarterback position needs to be able to shine, needs to be a reason for success and not just another player

2021 NFL draft: Where do Giants stand in a recent re-grade? / Dave Gettleman retired as the New York Giants’ general manager after the 2021 season. In his four years at the helm, the Giants won just 19 of 65 games. - We won’t take a deep dive into Gettleman’s four drafts while in office. Instead, let’s concentrate on last year’s class. - Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox rates Gettleman’s’ final draft as a C+. I would personally give this effort an incomplete. - The Giants traded down from No. 11 to No. 20 with the Chicago Bears, collecting another 2022 first-round pick which has tuned into No. 7 overall. - With No. 20, Gettleman reached for Florida wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who just couldn’t stay on the field due to a myriad of issues. - Toney had multiple stints on the reserve/COVID-19 list, and he was ejected in Week 5 for throwing a punch at Cowboys defensive back Damontae Kazee. - Toney had one great game (10 catches, 189 yards), but failed to have much of an overall impact. He finished the year with 39 catches 420 yards and no touchdowns. He provided a passer rating of just 82.5 when targeted. - Second-round pick Azzez Ojulari, a pass-rushing linebacker out of Georgia, set a new Giants rookie record for sacks with eight, had 27 QB pressures and was the only one of the six players Gettleman selected that played in all 17 games this season. - The other four players did not make much of an impact either because of injury or lack of opportunity. - - Cornerback Aaron Robinson saw only limited action, as did Elerson Smith and Rodarius Williams. Gary Brightwell got only 12 offensive snaps, despite starting running back Saquon Barkley being injured and ineffective for most of the season. - - The jury is still out on this class, of course, and it may end up being Gettleman’s best, especially if the new GM can score big with the No. 7 pick the Giants got from Chicago. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Where do Giants rank among NFL's most QB-needy teams this offseason? / The NFL landscape is changing rapidly and the trend is (no surprise here) that the teams with franchise quarterbacks are the most successful and most stable. - Where do the New York Giants stand? - Sam Monson of Pro Football Focus recently ranked the Giants’ quarterback situation as the 12th-most dire in the league heading into he 2022 season. He lists them in the ‘explore the options’ category. - The Giants let down Daniel Jones this season. He finished the year with a 71.6 PFF grade — a number that was over 85.0 through the first five weeks of the season before the supporting cast around him disintegrated. His big plays completely evaporated — he made just seven big-time throws all year — and that’s something he was good at in each of his previous two years starting. - With the Giants pressing the reset button, they can’t have seen enough in Jones to prevent them from exploring other options. However, there is also a world where none of the alternatives are attractive enough and the team gives Jones one more chance while the rebuild commences. - One more chance is about all the Giants can afford to give Jones at this point. The new general manager has to be frank with ownership about Jones’ ability to lead this team back to prominence. - The truth will be known when Jones’ fifth-year option must be exercised this spring or not at all. If the Giants decline, we’ll have a clearer picture of where he stands. - After a promising rookie season in 2019, Jones’ performance has fallen off a cliff. Many point to the complete collapse of the offensive infrastructure around him but others are focusing on games missed due to injury and basically a lack of growth. Three offensive coordinators in three years haven’t helped much, either. - Jones will get more help in 2022 but it could be his last chance to secure a long term role with the Giants. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Giants' Ronnie Barnes to be inducted into North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame / There is a Hall of Fame for athletic trainers and New York Giants senior vice president of medical services Ronnie Barnes is in it. And now he’s adding another enshrinement to his lengthy resume. - The Giants announced on Wednesday that Barnes will also be inducted into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame. - “This year’s class includes a wide variety of athletic achievement, including professional, collegiate, high school, Olympic sports, and media, with some special contributions,” said Dr. Jerry McGee, president of the Hall’s Board of Directors. “This class of inductees and their outstanding accomplishments continue to build on the rich sports heritage of North Carolina. We look forward to celebrating these outstanding individuals in our state’s sports history.” - Barnes was born in North Carolina in 1952. He graduated from East Carolina University in 1975 and later became the school’s athletic trainer. - Barnes graduated from East Carolina University’s sports medicine program in 1975 and has gone on to an amazing career. He was an assistant athletic trainer and instructor at ECU, and then went to Michigan State, where he was head athletic trainer and earned his master’s. He moved on to the New York Giants in the NFL as an athletic training intern, rising to head athletic trainer in 1980 and now senior vice-president for medical services, working for the Giants for over 40 years. He is a member of the National Athletic Trainers Association Hall of Fame and twice was that organization’s National Professional Trainer of the Year. - Barnes will be inducted alongside Luke Appling, Missouri Arledge, Torry Holt, Sam Mills, Tyrone “Muggsy” Bogues and several others. - The 58th annual North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame induction banquet will be held on Friday, April 22 at the Raleigh Convention Center. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Report: Giants offering carte blanche to general manager candidates / The New York Giants are at an all-time low. Or

Report: Giants offering carte blanche to general manager candidates / The New York Giants are at an all-time low. Or at least that’s how co-owner John Mara currently views things. - “I kept thinking during the season that we had hit rock bottom and then each week it got a little worse. Honestly, I’m not proud of saying this, but if I’m going to be 100 percent honest, I would have to say the answer is yes,” Mara told reporters when asked if this is the most embarrassed he’s ever been. - That statement came on the heels of Dave Gettleman’s “retirement” and Joe Judge’s termination as head coach. - It was just the latest of a seemingly endless overhaul for the Giants, but this time they are committed to doing things right. And in an effort to see that through, Mara and his fellow co-owner, Steve Tisch, are apparently offering all general manager candidates carte blanche. - - The most encouraging thing to take from this Giants GM search: From what I've heard, they are offering carte blanche to candidates to reshape the organization. The Giants way of operating is about to change drastically no matter who is hired. - — Jordan Raanan (@JordanRaanan) January 19, 2022 - - - That’s an encouraging step for the Giants if it’s true. However, despite his defiant denial that nepotism exists within the organization, a recent article from Dan Duggan of The Athletic paints an ugly picture. - In Duggan’s article, several former members of the front office and a few scouts sound off about Chris Mara’s role. And while they don’t attack him on a personal level, it’s made abundantly clear that Chris has much more “authority” than John claims. - It didn’t sit well with some colleagues when Chris Mara, a partner in Starlight Racing, left the Giants’ war room during the third day of the 2015 draft to watch his horse run in the Kentucky Derby. New York made one pick during Mara’s flight to Louisville and another after he arrived at Churchill Downs. “Look, if we were in the first or second round today, I probably wouldn’t be here,” Mara told a Sports Illustrated reporter chronicling his double duty. - “Is that really your priority over what we’re doing here in the draft?” a former member of the front office said. “It’s something that all the other guys just couldn’t do.” - Chris doesn’t go on the road to scout college games during the fall. His in-person scouting is typically limited to postseason all-star games, the scouting combine and college pro days. According to multiple current members of the organization, he has been less hands-on in recent years. - “I think he figures, ‘[Expletive] it, I’ll come around when I want to,’” a former Giants coach said. “He’s not answering to anybody.” - If the Giants are truly offering carte blanche to turn the organization around, that’s a legitimately positive step.

Giants host Jonathan Woodard, three others for workouts / The New York Giants have no general manager and no head coach, but that didn’t stop them from conducting workouts in East Rutherford on Wednesday. - In total, the Giants hosted four players, including defensive end Jonathan Woodard. - The 28-year-old Woodard was originally a seventh-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2016 NFL draft. After spending his rookie season with the Jags, he went on to play for the Atlanta Falcons (2017), Miami Dolphins (2017-2019), Buffalo Bills (2019-2020) and, most recently, the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the CFL (2021). - In six career regular season games, Woodard has recorded 10 tackles (two for a loss), two QB hits and 1.0 sacks. - The Giants also hosted punter Nolan Cooney, tight end Nikola Kalinic and defensive back J.J. Nunes for workouts. - Cooney signed with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Syracuse this past year, but was waived as a part of final cuts. He has since worked out for the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers, but hasn’t landed a job. - Kalinic was a second-round pick of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the 2019 CFL draft. The 24-year-old has spent all three years of his professional career up in Canada. - Finally, Nunes spent his college career in the FCS, lighting things up for Valparaiso University. He played seven total positions and won a multitude of awards. Despite his success, he’s spent the past three seasons in The Spring League. - None of the four players hosted for a workout were immediately signed to a reserve/futures contract. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Kenny Golladay named the Giants' worst current contract / When the New York Giants signed wide receiver Kenny Golladay to

Kenny Golladay named the Giants' worst current contract / When the New York Giants signed wide receiver Kenny Golladay to a four-year, $72 million contract with $40 million guaranteed, expectations were understandably high. - The Giants knew they paid a premium price for Golladay, but assumed his contested catch prowess would take the offense to a new level. However, that is not how things ultimately shook out. - In his first season with the Giants, Golladay hauled in just 37 receptions for 521 yards and zero — yes, zero — touchdowns. Even left tackle Andrew Thomas had a touchdown reception in 2021. - That leaves the Giants with three years remaining on Golladay’s contract. He’ll carry cap hits in excess of $21 million over the next three seasons and another $3.4 million (signing bonus) a year after his contract expires. - It’s a rough deal for the Giants. One of the league’s worst. At least according to Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report. - The Contract: Four years, $72 million. Expires in 2025. - The Giants are just one year into the massive contract they signed wide receiver Kenny Golladay to in the offseason, but it’s not looking good. - By annual average value, Golladay’s contract is tied with Tyreek Hill as the sixth-most lucrative in the league. - Needless to say, the Giants aren’t getting a Hill-like impact for their investment. Golladay’s first campaign in New York yielded just 37 catches for 521 yards and no touchdowns. The receiver has already acknowledged it’s not good enough. - There are factors outside of his control. It has become pretty clear that Daniel Jones is not the answer at quarterback, and ownership has already spoken about how they feel about Joe Judge’s reign as head coach. - The Giants will have to hope that a new coach and potentially a new quarterback can help Golladay flourish. He’s on the books for cap hits north of $21 million in each of the next three years. - The irony of suggesting Daniel Jones and Giants personnel are at fault for Golladay’s struggles… If anything, it’s the exact opposite and Golladay cost the Giants’ quarterbacks — including Jones — greatly. - Case in point: Golladay’s half-hearted attempt to catch a pass from Jake Fromm in Week 18 against the Washington Football Team. - - Absolutely AWFUL effort from Kenny Golladay. - This is a $72 million receiver with zero touchdowns. Terrible. pic.twitter.com/vHVV6MRb4m - — Doug Rush (@TheDougRush) January 9, 2022 - - - Issues like this persisted with Golladay throughout the year. He made no impact on the field and regularly lost on contested catches. He struggled with drops and his highlight was screaming at Jason Garrett on the sideline. - Ultimately, if Golladay were hamstrung by the Giants and not the other way around, his contract would not be listed among the league’s worst. But it is, and that’s not because of Daniel Jones. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: -

Giants nab OT, LB in Mel Kiper's first 2022 mock draft / In a mini-mock draft conduct by ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay earlier this month, the New York Giants ended up selecting NC State offensive tackle Ikem Ekwonu. - That was as far as Kiper and McShay took it at the time but on Wednesday, the former released his first mock draft of 2022. And in it, Kiper has the Giants staying true to his earlier pick. - 5. New York Giants - Ikem Ekwonu, OT, NC State - There has been a lot of recent buzz around Ekwonu, whose stock is rising. He dominated at left tackle for the Wolfpack this season after playing some guard earlier in his career. Based on the 2021 tape, there’s not much separating Ekwonu from Evan Neal, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Ekwonu was the top tackle off the board in April. He has All-Pro potential as a run-blocker and as a pass-blocker. - For the Giants — who haven’t yet replaced coach Joe Judge or general manager Dave Gettleman — this would be top-five tackles in two of the past three drafts, but even though Andrew Thomas played better this season, the right tackle spot is far from settled. They just have to get better up front, and taking Ekwonu is a step toward that. Like the Jets, they have two top-10 picks, and they could go offense with the No. 7 selection. - With the second of their two first-round picks, Kiper has the Giants going with a name we’ve not seen mocked to the team yet: Michigan linebacker David Ojabo. - 7. New York Giants (via CHI) - David Ojabo, OLB, Michigan - It’s always tough to project for teams that haven’t hired new general managers, so here’s my thinking for this pick, which comes from the Bears in the Justin Fields trade up last year: The Giants have some solid options on defense, but it’s fair to say they underperformed as a unit in 2021. The best way to get better as a whole? Pressure the quarterback, which helps every level of the defense. Rookie second-round pick Azeez Ojulari had a nice season, leading the team with eight sacks, but they don’t have another top-tier edge rusher on the other side. - Ojabo can help the pass rush immediately. He had an incredibly impressive season, racking up 11 sacks and five forced fumbles while playing opposite my projected No. 1 pick, Aidan Hutchinson. He doesn’t have Hutchinson’s all-around game — he has to get better against the run — but as a pure pass-rusher, he has a very high ceiling. With these two top-seven selections, New York can get high-end starters on both sides of the ball. - The edge rush is certainly an area the Giants need to address, but should it come at the expense of the offensive line? That will be the debate when the Giants are on the clock at No.

CBS Sports predicts Brian Flores will be Giants' next head coach / The New York Giants are currently interviewing finalists for their general manager position and that search should wrap up in the coming days. Once it does, the team will shift their attention to the available head coaches. - There are plenty of options out there at the moment, including several men that are either reportedly interested in the job or that the Giants are reportedly interested in. - With as many as eight teams looking for a new head coach, it’s tough to guess who will land where. But Jeff Kerr of CBS Sports tried to make those predictions anyway. - In an article designed to match team with new head coach, Kerr has the Giants ultimately hiring Brian Flores. - New York Giants: Brian Flores (former Dolphins HC) - Flores is arguably the biggest name on the market and Giants owner John Mara reportedly has “great respect” for the former Dolphins coach. The Giants have yet to interview Flores (they’re still searching for a general manager), but New York needs a significant culture change in the locker room. - Flores had his issues in Miami, from coaching changes to his handling of Tua Tagovailoa — but he is the only head coach to start a season 1-7 and finish with a winning record (2021). The Dolphins went 24-25 in his three seasons, with two winning campaigns. Flores went 24-18 in his final 42 games as a head coach. - Hiring another Belichick assistant may not be ideal for the Giants, but Flores seems cut from a different cloth than the others. The Giants need to rebuild the culture in order to build a winner. Players respect Flores and will appreciate his leadership. - While Flores makes sense as an option, the Giants appear to be trending toward Joe Schoen as their next general manager. That’s significant because most seem to believe that if Schoen is hired, Brian Daboll is likely to come with him as head coach. - In the event Schoen is somehow passed over or takes another GM job, that opens the door to Ryan Poles and potentially Joe Hortiz. In that scenario, Flores becomes a more likely hire — although not necessarily a sure thing. - The situation remains fluid and very much up in the air. It’s going to be an interesting few days/weeks for the Giants. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured -

Giants add to trenches in latest PFF mock draft / The New York Giants will have two picks inside the top 10 in the 2022 NFL draft, and unconventional logic suggests they should select two offensive linemen — including a center. - Will the new general manager go that route? That certainly remains to be seen, but it’s an approach being implemented in many recent mock drafts. - However, Pro Football Focus bucked that trend this week. While they do have the Giants picking one offensive lineman early, they shift to defense with the team’s second first-round pick. - But up first, a new starting right tackle in Ikem Ekwonu. - PICK NO. 5: NEW YORK GIANTS: OT IKEM EKWONU, N.C. STATE - At 6-foot-4 and 320 pounds, Ekwonu has guard-tackle versatility but earned a legitimate shot to start his NFL career at offensive tackle after his spectacular 2021 campaign at left tackle with the Wolfpack. He earned a 91.6 overall grade and 93.8 run-blocking grade across more than 800 offensive snaps this season, the latter of which ranks sixth among all single-season marks for Power Five tackles since 2014. He’s a true road grader in the run game with improved polish and footwork in pass protection. A player with his kind of skill set shouldn’t fall past the first 10 picks in the draft. - A couple picks later, the Giants address their second most significant area of need: pass rush. That comes via edge rusher George Karlaftis. - PICK NO. 7: NEW YORK GIANTS (VIA CHICAGO): EDGE GEORGE KARLAFTIS, PURDUE - Karlaftis will get tagged as just a lunchpail type with a high motor in a lot of lazy analysis this draft season, but he’s so much more than that. The 6-foot-4, 275-pounder was extremely productive for Purdue this season and should surprise with his athletic testing at the combine. - Karlaftis, another Feldman Freaks List member, reportedly recorded a 10-foot-1 broad jump, 37.5-inch vertical and 4.69-second 40-yard dash at just over 270 pounds this offseason. Boilermakers head coach Jeff Brohm also raved about Karlaftis’ efforts on and off the field in a Tailgate interview before the season. - In this scenario, Evan Neal is once again off the board at No. 3 overall (Houston Texans), leaving the Giants to select OT2. With Aidan Hutchinson and Kayvon Thibodeaux also off the board, they are left with EDGE3 at No. 7 overall. - Both players would come in and start immediately for the Giants, but not being able to nab one of the top players at their position with two first-round picks is a tough pill to swallow. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - -

Giants rolling over league's least amount of unused cap space / After every season, the NFL determines how much empty salary cap space each team has available to carry over into the next season. - One would think that the New York Giants, who finished 4-13 in 2021, would be carrying over a sizable sum into 2022. That’s not the case. - According to ESPN NFL reporter Field Yates, the Giants are only carrying $13,986 into 2022.

See it: Peyton Manning shades Giants, Joe Judge for QB sneaks / During a Week 18 loss to the Washington Football Team, then-New York Giants head coach Joe Judge and his offensive play-caller, Freddie Kitchens, made some interesting decisions. - Among the most heavily criticized were back-to-back quarterback sneaks down just 3-0 in the second quarter. - The purpose, Judge later said, was to avoid a safety — something they had experienced a week earlier in a similar situation — and to give punter Riley Dixon some room to work with in his own end zone. - “We were backed up, I wanted to get room,” Judge told reporters after the game. “We were gonna give ourselves room for the punt. We did that. We gave ourselves room for the punt, we protected it. We covered well. We played the field position situation I want to play. We held them on the next drive, and that’s the way we want to go ahead and play that.” - The decision to QB sneak in that situation drew heavy mocking from inside of the sports world and outside of it. Even Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers took unprovoked aim at Judge and the Giants during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show just days later. - On Monday night, the derision continued with Peyton Manning getting in on the action during ESPN’s ManningCast. - - “At least the Rams are sneaking it down by the goal line unlike the Giants who sneak it in the open field” – Peyton - "No comment, no comments" – Eli #ManningCast pic.twitter.com/fD57NK7sE8 - — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) January 18, 2022 - - - “Eli, at least the Rams are sneaking it down by the goal line unlike the Giants who sneak it in the open field,” Peyton said. - “No comment, no comment,” Eli said with a laugh. “Washington had not seen that.” - Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who was among Monday night’s guests, also got a good chuckle out of the exchange. - For the Giants, the back-to-back QB sneaks have become the new Miami boat picture. It lurks around every corner and is now the punchline to many a comedian’s joke. And until the team finally turns this ship around, both will continue to haunt the franchise. - Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: - Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - -

Giants land two offensive linemen in latest The Sporting News mock / The New York Giants have two top 10

Giants land two offensive linemen in latest The Sporting News mock / The New York Giants have two top 10 picks in the 2022 NFL draft and assuming they don’t trade out of those spots, should very much consider using them on two different offensive lineman. That was the line of thinking carried into the latest The Sporting News mock draft, where Vinnie Iyer had the Giants doubling down on their biggest need. 5. New York Giants (4-13) Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa (6-3, 290 pounds) The Giants would be smart to target the offensive line in the first round, perhaps multiple times. to boost both Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley. Linderbaum, an intelligent rock of an interior blocker and a perfect long-term line leader, would be a great fit, too, as a major upgrade from Billy Price. It’s interesting that Iyer had Linderbaum going off the board first to the Giants. In most mock drafts that have New York taking two offensive linemen, he’s usually the second of their first-round picks. However, Linderbaum’s stock is already beginning to rise and many consider him the best all-around offensive lineman available. Even at a position of reduced value, Linderbaum warrants consideration at No. 5. And he may not even be there when the time comes. Next up? 7. New York Giants (from Chicago Bears) Ikem Ekwonu, G/OT, N.C. State (6-4, 320 pounds) The Giants get another strong blocker with their two top-10 picks, Ekwonu is a strong, powerful run blocker with the nasty streak needed to dominate at times. He can play either inside or outside in the NFL, but with Linderbaum bolstering the middle, it would be nice to have Ekwonu flank left tackle Andrew Thomas on the right side. Evan Neal is already off the board at No. 3 in this scenario, so the Giants go with the second-best offensive tackle prospect at No. 7 overall. Ekwonu needs to develop a bit, but he’d immediately start at right tackle for the Giants. That would leave them with two other OL positions — left guard and right guard — to address.

Wink Martindale a name to watch in Giants' head coaching search / The New York Giants have not yet hired

Wink Martindale a name to watch in Giants' head coaching search / The New York Giants have not yet hired their next general manager, but that hasn’t stopped rumors and reports about their upcoming head coaching search from spreading like wildfire. Names like Brian Flores and Brian Daboll have been the most prevalent, but others have also filtered through. One such name is that of Don “Wink” Martindale. Ralph Vacchiano of SNY reports that Martindale is a name to watch, especially if the Giants end up hiring Baltimore Ravens director of player personnel Joe Hortiz as their GM. One other name that has come up, according to a source, is Ravens defensive coordinator Don Wink Martindale. He apparently had a strong interview with the Giants two years ago, and he could be a top choice if the Giants hire Ravens director of player personnel Joe Hortiz as their new GM. The Giants did interview Martindale prior to hiring Joe Judge in 2018, and the Ravens defensive coordinator was not shy about expressing his disappointment in being passed over. “Am I disappointed? Sure,” Martindale told reporters at the time. “But I feel I’m playing with house money.” Everything circles back around, it seems. Martindale began his NFL coaching career with the Oakland Raiders in 2004 as the linebackers coach. He held that role until 2008 when he joined the Denver Broncos’ staff, holding the same role for them during the 2009 season. Wink became the defensive coordinator for the Broncos in 2010 and then he joined the Ravens in 2012 as the linebackers coach. He held that role through the 2017 season until he was promoted to defensive coordinator beginning in 2018. Martindale was also a part of the Ravens’ coaching staff that won Super Bowl XLVII.

Report: Brian Flores, Brian Daboll on Giants' head coaching shortlist / Over the weekend, reports arose that suggested the New York Giants are “very interested” in Brian Daboll for their head coaching job, and that Brian Flores views Big Blue as a potential fit. As we said at the time, where there’s smoke there’s usually fire. Ralph Vacchiano of SNY has confirmed each of those reports and added his own spice, reporting that the Giants have both Flores and Daboll on their shortlist of potential head coaches. The next general manager of the Giants might be the most important voice in the room when the team begins its search for a new head coach, especially if John Mara holds true to his promise that the next GM will have the flexibility to bring in the head coach that he wants. But that doesn t mean the Giants don t already have a short list. And former Dolphins coach Brian Flores and Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll seem to be at the top. Both of those coaches have been the subject of some discussion inside the Giants organization for quite some time, according to multiple sources familiar with their thinking, and they are both on the shortlists of several of the Giants nine GM candidates, according to various sources around the league. It s possible that both coaches could get interviews with the Giants regardless of who is hired as the next GM. Flores has already interviewed with the Chicago Bears and Houston Texans, while Daboll also recently met with Chicago. Although Flores is free to pick and choose after being fired by the Miami Dolphins earlier this month, Daboll is still hard at work helping guide the Buffalo Bills through the AFC playoff field. The Giants, of course, are still conducting general manager interviews and are determined to make that hire before committing to a new head coach. As a result, they could miss out on both Flores and Daboll if they continue to drag their feet. A GM hire is expected by the end of the week, so they may get their shot at Daboll in the end. But Flores? The clock is very much ticking on him. Follow the Giants Wire Podcast: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts Email Sign up

If Giants hire Brian Flores, could QB Deshaun Watson become an option? / The New York Giants are still on

If Giants hire Brian Flores, could QB Deshaun Watson become an option? / The New York Giants are still on the hunt for their next general manager, but that search should wrap up at some point next week. When it does, they will shift their attention to finding a new head coach. One potential option is Brian Flores, who was recently fired by the Miami Dolphins. He reportedly views the Giants as an “attractive fit.” Although the situation is very fluid and nothing is set in stone, the idea of Flores taking over as Giants head coach is an intriguing one. Not just because of his success in recent years, but because of his apparent desire to land Deshaun Watson as his quarterback. Even prior to his divorce in Miami, there was speculation that Flores wanted Watson as opposed to Tua Tagovailoa after their relationship had soured. Now, it appears, those rumors will follow Flores to wherever he goes. NFL Insider Jordan Schultz has stoked the flames in recent days, suggesting that Flores and Watson are trying to position themselves to land in the same spot. And the Giants are apparently one of Watson’s desired destinations. On the flip side, Flores – who nearly orchestrated Deshaun s trade to the #Dolphins – believes his best chance to build a winner is with Watson, even if it means going to a less talented roster. I m told they often speak daily. — Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) January 15, 2022 - Watson, I m told, spends part of his off-season in NYC and has established business connections and friendships there as well. All of which he feels, understandably so, will be advantageous while playing for the #Giants. — Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) January 15, 2022 - Ignoring the fact that this would likely be considered tampering, there are other issues that persist. First and foremost is Watson’s ongoing legal situation and the optics trading for him would carry. Giants co-owner John Mara already reportedly regrets how he handled the Josh Brown situation, so he may prefer to avoid Watson all together. Even if Watson’s legal situation were cleared up, there would still be other obstacles in the way. How much would it cost to pry Watson away from Houston? Could the Giants manage his contract with next to no salary cap space? And how much would they want to gamble on a quarterback who hasn’t played in over a year when so many other personnel issues exist? At the end of the day, the Giants hiring Flores and then trading for Watson seems like a longshot. It’s a fun exercise, but not something we actually envision playing out.

Report: Giants are 'very interested' in Brian Daboll / The New York Giants recently conducted a general manager interview with

Report: Giants are 'very interested' in Brian Daboll / The New York Giants recently conducted a general manager interview with Joe Schoen, who currently serves as assistant GM of the Buffalo Bills. He is widely considered a favorite for the job. There’s also been speculation that if the Giants were to hire Schoen, he would come as sort of a package deal with Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll — something Giants co-owner John Mara recently dismissed. “We want to get the general manager ideally done first and, obviously, we’ll talk about the candidates for head coach, but it’s not going to be a package deal,” Mara told reporters at his year-end press conference. Despite Mara’s insistence that there will be no package deals, there seems to be growing evidence Schoen and Daboll could come as a pair. Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports that the Giants are “very interested” in Daboll as their next head coach. As expected when this process began, some sources say the Giants are very interested in Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, the Belichick disciple who has gotten the best out of quarterback Josh Allen in Buffalo. The Buffalo ticket of GM Joe Schoen and head coach Daboll certainly is an intriguing one. Schoen, who interviewed in Chicago, too, is considered as ready as any of the Giants nine candidates to take the big chair. And Daboll as an offensive coach could tackle the team s worst side of the ball. Daboll is among the favorites of Giants fans and is someone we pegged when going over a list of potential head coaching candidates. Brian Daboll is the Buffalo Bills’ offensive coordinator who has turned the very raw Josh Allen into an NFL superstar. A very creative presence who can get the best out of the offensive line, straighten out Daniel Jones and get both the the passing and running games back into he 21st century. Package deal with Schoen or not, don’t be surprised if Daboll does eventually land an interview with the Giants for their head coaching vacancy.

Report: Jim Harbaugh 'intrigued' by Giants' head coaching vacancy / Shortly before the New York Giants fired head coach Joe Judge, rumors surfaced that Michigan’s Jim Harbaugh would be interested in the job if it became available. ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg was among the first to report that news. Re: Jim Harbaugh/NFL situation @BruceFeldmanCFB reported, the Raiders are likeliest spot if JH wants to return to NFL. He started coaching career w/ Oak Raiders. Before Michigan, he and his wife lived on West Coast. I'd heard Giants job could have interested him if it was open. — Adam Rittenberg (@ESPNRittenberg) January 5, 2022 - Well, as it turns out, the job did become available. The Giants decided to part ways with Judge earlier this week and a new head coach will be hired shortly after they bring aboard a new general manager. And Harbaugh’s alleged interest? Apparently it holds water. Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports that Harbaugh is “intrigued’ by the Giants’ head coaching vacancy and that it’s more than just a leverage play. When I first heard Jim Harbaugh’s name being bandied about during this hiring cycle, I thought it was a leverage play by Harbaugh to squeeze Michigan for more money coming off a College Football Playoff berth. But I was extremely interested to learn from reliable sources that 1) Harbaugh s NFL interest is genuine and that 2) the Giants vacancy intrigues him and he d pick up the phone if they called. The 58-year-old Harbaugh is certainly an interesting option, but would he be the right fit for New York? He has a long history of success at both the NFL and NCAA levels, but also carries the reputation of choking in big games. Harbaugh compiled a record of 44-19-1 in four seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, and has posted a 61-24 record since taking over at Michigan.

Rather, he was holding a “goodbye party” of sorts with his former coaches and players.Among those to show up and wish Judge well were quarterback Daniel Jones, safety Logan Ryan and wide receiver David Sills.Little nugget I heard: Daniel Jones was one of a few players (Logan Ryan, David Sills) to attend the gathering Joe Judge had at his house for his staff on Wednesday night.

But it really blossomed in New York, especially after Judge sent Ryan home to be with his wife, Ashley, following the loss of their unborn son, Ozzy.Jones and Judge also developed a strong bond over the past two years. In fact, there might have been no bigger supporter of the young quarterback than Judge himself.And Sills… Well, Sills has really become a shadow to Jones, so it’s no surprise he tagged along.Several of Judge’s coaches were also likely in attendance, including his close personal friends, Patrick Graham and Freddie Kitchens.

Giants' Patrick Graham drawing interest from Minnesota Vikings? / Following the retirement of general manager Dave Gettleman and the termination of head coach Joe Judge, a major overhaul is on tap for the New York Giants.In the coming weeks, they will hire a new GM who will have a hand in hiring a new head coach. And that head coach will subsequently work to build their own staff.That means holdovers like special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey and defensive coordinator Patrick Graham will eventually be sent packing.They’re all likely to land on their feet, however. McGaughey is already expected to interview with the Carolina Panthers, while Graham is reportedly drawing a little interest from the Minnesota Vikings.New York Giants defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, a Yale graduate and former New England Patriots linebackers coach, is highly regarded in NFL circles for his coaching acumen and leadership and is on the radar of the Minnesota Vikings and other NFL teams, per sources— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) January 14, 2022Graham drew some head coaching interest during last year’s cycle, but ultimately turned down the New York Jets and opted to sign an extension with the Giants instead.Graham insisted that coaching the Giants’ defense was his “dream job” and being employed alongside his best friend — Joe Judge — only made it that much sweeter.But with the writing already on the wall earlier this year, Graham left open the possibility of leaving New York for a head coaching position.“It’s so hard, those jobs,” Graham told reporters prior to a Week 18 game. “Obviously — I mean, not obviously, but the idea is to one day be a head coach. A lot of us that get in this business want to do that. Again, I can’t really speak on it right now because whatever the situation is, but if someone wants to talk to me, they want to talk to me. I’m sure I’ll consider it.”There’s no reason for Graham to balk now. Judge is out, expectations are that he will not return and obviously there’s some interest out there. It seems like an end Graham was always destined for, so why not now?ListGiants go heavy on defense in latest Draft Wire mockEmailSign upLike this article?Sign up for the Giants Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morningAn error has occuredPlease re-enter your email address.Thanks for signing up!You'll now receive the top Giants Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Victor Cruz: 2022 a 'make or break' year for Giants QB Daniel Jones / The New York Giants are at

Victor Cruz: 2022 a 'make or break' year for Giants QB Daniel Jones / The New York Giants are at another crossroads this offseason as they go through the process of hiring a new general manager and another new head coach. The third element of what franchises seek when they are rebuilding is the quarterback, which leads us to ask… Is Daniel Jones that third piece? Jones will be entering his fourth season as the Giants’ starter, but the jury is still out on him. He has battled through injuries and uncertainty all around him, and three offensive coordinators in three seasons has only exacerbated the inconsistency. The incoming general manger and coaching staff will undoubtedly be giving the Giants’ their assessment of Jones during they interviews, but that should not be the sole determinant on whether or not they get hired or not. Former Giant wide receiver Victor Cruz chimed in recently on what he sees the Giants doing with Jones. “I don’t know if you got to see a true sample size from him and what he can do with the clean pocket. I don’t think you’ve seen enough of those opportunities for him to make plays. So with that being said, I think they’ll bring him back next year to finally get a real look,” Cruz told Pat Traina of Sports Illustrated. “That offensive line is huge, and they need to build that chemistry for Daniel Jones to be the player that we want him to be. … This next year will be it, in my opinion; it’s a make or break.” In many experts’ opinion, that year has come and gone. This past season was that year and Jones first underachieved, and then — for the third straight season — got injured. The Giants will almost certainly bring Jones back for his fourth season, but don’t be surprised of they do not exercise his fifth-year option this spring. The new regime could also decide Jones is not the future at quarterback and move forward with another plan and another player. They have two high first round picks — and Jones himself — to offer to teams in a trade.

David Diehl: Giants' problems predate Dave Gettleman, Daniel Jones / Pundits and fans are debating over the main causes of how the New York Giants went from a league power to a laughing stock over the past decade. One of the mainstays of the Giants’ most recent Super Bowl championship teams, offensive lineman David Diehl, gave his take on what he’s seen transpire since the Giants won Super Bowl XLVI in February of 2012. “Nobody’s been talking about the root of the problem,” Diehl said recently on SiriusXM Radio. Diehl also serves as a TV and radio analyst for the Giants “Everybody’s just continued to say, ‘It’s bad drafting. Bad coaching. It’s injuries. It’s this. It’s that.’ This, for me, goes all the way back to the end of the 2015 season, where they only fired Tom Coughlin and they didn’t fire Jerry Reese with him,” Diehl said. “Since that point, nothing has been in alignment with one another. Because then after you fire coach Coughlin, you bring in Ben McAdoo. Ben McAdoo and Jerry Reese are together. That doesn’t work out. Now you go to Pat Shurmur and Dave Gettleman. Pat Shurmur doesn’t work out. But then you keep Dave Gettleman again. “Then you bring in another head coach. That does not work in the NFL. The head coach and the GM have to be on the same page, they have to come in together, or they have to have that community-building and that accountability to one another that when the ship goes down, I’m not going to be pointing at you because I have another year left on my contract. Or you’re not going to be pointing at me as the coach, saying ‘Well, I don’t have enough players.'” Diehl is spot on. The ownership group has been chasing their own tail for the past eight years by not ‘blowing up’ the model, which means hiring a general manager/VP of football ops first and then having him hire the remainder of the staff — head, coach, scouting director, pro personnel director, etc. The Giants have long held in the belief that they can compete and rebuild at the same time. That works for certain organizations that have strong front offices (Pittsburgh, Green Bay, New England, Kansas City) but when you continue to mix-and-match those cornerstone elements, especially ones that don’t have the same vision, you’re going to end up on NFLs’ skid row — like the Giants.

See it: Giants greats Eli Manning, Victor Cruz reunite in new commercial / With the NFL Playoffs set to begin on Saturday, Frito-Lay and PepsiCo Beverage brands have teamed up for “Road to Super Bowl,” an ad campaign that aims to take fans on a ride leading up to Super Bowl LVI. They’ve also enlisted the help of several former NFL greats, including Peyton Manning, Jerome Bettis, Teddy Bradshaw and retired New York Giants legends, Eli Manning and Victor Cruz. The first “Road to Super Bowl” commercial was released this week and as it typically the case with the Manning brothers, it was a hit. “This commercial has it all – a combined 10 Super Bowl rings among the players, the best gameday drinks and snacks from PepsiCo Beverages and Frito-Lay, and of course I got to work alongside my brother,” Eli said, via Yahoo! Finance. “The post-season is always an exciting time of year and I hope this campaign helps get fans geared up for The Big Game as we take them with us on the road to Super Bowl LVI. We have a ton of big, funny personalities in this commercial, so I hope everyone enjoys watching it as much as we enjoyed filming it.” Although the ad spot is admittedly hilarious, it may have hit Giants fans in a soft spot. Pepsi, of course, was the sponsor of one of the most tone-deaf giveaways in Giants history earlier this year. With the team falling apart and fans beginning to revolt, Pepsi and the Giants teamed up for “Fan Appreciation Day” which consisted of giving season ticket account holders one free medium Pepsi. But we can’t hold that against them. They did a good job with the commercial and casting Eli and Cruz was a terrific decision.

Colin Cowherd: Giants should trade it all for Russell Wilson / For quite some time now, the New York Giants

Colin Cowherd: Giants should trade it all for Russell Wilson / For quite some time now, the New York Giants have been connected to Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson via trade rumor. Now, with the current state of the Giants, it’s not outside the realm of possibility that the new general manager, whoever it may be, will come in and make a big splash via trade. After the Giants hire their next GM and new head coach, the next step will be to determine if they are moving forward with Daniel Jones or exploring other options. With the lack of promising quarterback prospects in the upcoming draft, Big Blue would likely try to address the position via trade if they choose to address it this year. And FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd thinks the team should go all in on Russell Wilson. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Herd (@theherd) “If you’re the Giants, what would you give up for Russell Wilson? I, as the general manager, would give you every first-round pick until he’s not a Giant,” Cowherd said. “Because by the way, if I’m keeping him for nine years, he’s winning a lot of games. He’s filling my stadium, he’s selling my merchandise, he puts me on television. Right now, the Giants are so bad everywhere except left tackle, one defensive tackle, a decent cornerback, a solid rookie wide receiver. They’re so bad everywhere, I would do it.” Whether or not the farfetched trade proposal would include both first-round picks this year is somewhat irrelevant as this would be the richest trade for a quarterback in NFL history — a type of trade is more likely to happen in a fantasy football league than in the NFL. Given the fact that the general manager, head coach and quarterback are all crucial parts of getting the organization back on track and the odds of hitting on all three at the same time would be unlikely, Wilson would provide the team with as solid of a building block as you could get at the quarterback position. No matter how you slice the potential trade proposal, it’s crazy to think that the Seahawks’ demands would be so high and even crazier to think the Giants would do it with their current roster and salary cap situation. As tempting as that trade may be, building through the draft might be the best way to turn things around and giving up every first-round pick as long as Wilson is on the team negates that strategy.

Emotional Joe Judge thanks Giants for coaching opportunity / The New York Giants fired head coach Joe Judge earlier this

Emotional Joe Judge thanks Giants for coaching opportunity / The New York Giants fired head coach Joe Judge earlier this week, bringing an end to his two-year tenure with the organization. There was no goodbye ceremony, no final press conference and no hoopla. Instead, in a blink, it was over and the Giants moved on. Outside of a beer and pizza delivery scoped out by TMZ for some reason, Judge quickly vanished from the public eye. But he briefly resurfaced on Thursday, releasing an exclusive statement through Art Stapleton of USA TODAY. “As I reflect on my tenure with the Giants, I want to express how truly grateful I am for the opportunity to be the head coach of the New York Giants,” Judge said. “Thank you to the Mara and Tisch families, to the organization and incredible support staff and to the fans — proud, loyal fans who rival any fanbase in sports with their passion and devotion. It was a privilege to represent these people during the past two years. Thank you for showing up week-in and week-out to support our team. “I also want to express my appreciation to the coaching staff. They put in long nights and early mornings to help the players be successful. Their work is often behind the scenes, but the dedication and love they invest into these players and team is the foundation for anything that happens on the field. I am proud to have worked with the group of men we had and grateful for each and every one of them. “Finally, to the players — both present and former — thank you. To the alumni players who helped invest in our program, thank you for believing in and helping develop these young men. You set the Giants standard and you continue to lead the way. “To the current Giants players, thank you most of all. When I became the head coach, I said that we would ask you to come in and give everything you had every day. And you did. I am so proud of you, grateful for you, and I believe in you. “On behalf of me and my family, we leave New York with the utmost gratitude for the community, the organization, the people and the team. Thank you.” Things got rough at the end, but Judge ultimately leaves in classy fashion. List 15 head coach candidates Giants could consider Email Sign up Like this article?

Report: Giants' Steve Tisch pushed John Mara to fire Joe Judge / The New York Giants have wasted their fans’

Report: Giants' Steve Tisch pushed John Mara to fire Joe Judge / The New York Giants have wasted their fans’ time the past five years by thinking they could put band-aids on gunshot wounds hoping that some divine intervention they would turn them back into winners. Heading into the 2022 season, the Giants are devoid of talent with 60 percent of their salary cap dedicated to seven players, none who can be considered a “franchise” player. Co-owner Steve Tisch apparently pleaded with his partner, John Mara, to ‘blow up’ the model two years ago and start from the ground up. Mara balked and stayed the course, giving general manager Dave Gentleman a vote of confidence and Joe Judge was hired as the head coach. You know the rest. The Giants have been going downhill with no brakes ever since. They finally crashed last week when they were embarrassed by a marginal Washington team at home in a game that saw the coaching staff basically circle the wagons and surrender. Gettleman chose to retire before the team got a chance to fire him but Mara waffled on Judge, who was clearly in over his head after finishing 10-23. This time around, Tisch convinced Mara it was time to let go of the past and move forward, reports Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. Co-owner Steve Tisch did not talk and has no plans to do so, outside of Monday’s statement that it’s an “understatement” to say he is “disappointed.” Tisch should have to answer for coach Joe Judge’s firing in particular, because sources say Mara was the one who initially wanted to give the coach a third year, but Tisch pushed to blow it up after failing to achieve a full reset two years ago. Mara knew that firing Judge after two years saddled by 19-46 GM Dave Gettleman — despite hiring him for a long-term rebuild — was not only moving the goalposts on his coach. It was ripping them down. Mara was fully prepared — and maybe still is — to continue doing things the way he’s done the past decade. Had Tisch not stepped in, the Giants would be conducting their GM search with Judge in tow, and that would have made the job a lot less appealing. Some top candidates would have stayed away. Instead, there are nine very qualified people interviewing for the position. “I just feel given where we are right now, on the verge of bringing in a new general manager, we have to give that person the flexibility to bring in the head coach that he wants,” Mara told reporters on Wednesday. “And I think that was a large part of the decision here in making a change.” That’s correct. The tail can’t continue to wag the dog in East Rutherford. It’s time for a real football person to come in and install a 21st century NFL infrastructure to this once proud franchise.

Giants land Ikem Ekwonu, Kyle Hamilton in latest USA TODAY mock / Get ready for mock draft season now that the New York Giants are heading home for the offseason. With general manager Dave Gettleman and head coach Joe Judge gone, the Giants are conducting interviews to fill those positions as we speak. Who gets hired for those positions will dictate how the Giants choose to utilize their two top 10 picks in the upcoming 2022 NFL draft. Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz of USA TODAY believes the Giants will use those selections on a combination of need and best player available. 5. Giants – Ikem Ekwonu, OT, North Carolina State Call it a Dave Gettleman tribute pick, as the outgoing general manager would surely admire the team taking one of his beloved “hog mollies.” After proving himself this season to be a skillful pass protector in addition to a bully in the run game, Ekwonu looks like just the kind of blocker Big Blue needs to bring on to stabilize a perpetually underperforming line that offers little long-term hope beyond left tackle Andrew Thomas. The 6-foot-4, 320-pound redshirt sophomore was a unanimous All-American, a first team All-ACC selection and the recipient of the Jacobs Blocking Award this past season and would add some much-needed talent and toughness to the trenches. 7. Giants (from Bears) – Kyle Hamilton, S, Notre Dame Opting for safety this high might seem a bit of a luxury for a Giants team that has finally embraced a full rebuild. But Big Blue needs to stock up on top-tier talent where it can get it, and Hamilton surely fits that bill. At 6-4 and 220 pounds with massive range both in coverage and as a tackler, the two-time All-American can be utilized in an array of different manners. Pairing him with emerging standout Xavier McKinney would give the Giants a formidable tandem on the back end of their defense. The Giants are likely done with Jabrill Peppers and Logan Ryan will be 31 next month so this pick isn’t as much of a luxury as it seems. It’s never a reach to bring in a game-changing player on either side of the ball and Hamilton certainly has the potential to be that.

John Mara has never been more embarrassed of Giants / The New York Giants have become a poverty organization over

John Mara has never been more embarrassed of Giants / The New York Giants have become a poverty organization over the past decade. Once considered among the most successful and respected franchises in sports, they are now little more than a punchline. Even co-owner John Mara himself can’t deny it, acknowledging on Wednesday that he’s never been more embarrassed of the team. “Honestly, I would have to say yes. Yes, it is,” Mara said when asked if this is the most embarrassed he’s ever been. “I kept thinking during the season that we had hit rock bottom and then each week it got a little worse. Honestly, I’m not proud of saying this, but if I’m going to be 100 percent honest, I would have to say the answer is yes.” Things got so bad for the Giants in 2021 that Mara was forced to do something he didn’t originally intend: Force general manager Dave Gettleman out, fire head coach Joe Judge and start over. Again. “It just got to the point where we dug a hole so deep, I didn’t see a clear path getting out of it unless we started all over again,” Mara said. Since pressuring Tom Coughlin to resign in 2015, this will be the third full rebuild for the Giants. They will hire their third general manager, their fifth head coach (if you include Steve Spagnuolo) and compile their fourth reconstructed coaching staff. Mara admits the latest reset will likely prolong the team’s losing. “That is not going to be an overnight process. That’s going to take some time, but it starts with getting the general manager pick done correctly and then with hiring the right head coach. That’s going to be a process that we’re going to have to earn their trust again,” Mara said. “As I said, that’s not going to happen overnight.” In other words, more patience has been requested, Giants fans.

677. 2021 NFL Draft Recap - Night One / NFL Network’s Rhett Lewis and Bucky Brooks recap all the action from the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. They kick things off reacting to quarterback landing spots, as Clemson's Trevor Lawrence, BYU's Zach Wilson and North Dakota State's Trey Lance were drafted first and second overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets (2:00). Then, Rhett and Bucky discuss the San Francisco 49ers selection of North Dakota State quarterback Trey Lance with the third overall pick over Alabama QB Mac Jones who was rumored to be linked to the 49ers (3:05). Next, they talk about the significance of Florida tight end Kyle Pitts becoming the highest-drafted tight end in NFL history to the Atlanta Falcons at number four (7:08). The hosts then react to the Chicago Bears trade with the New York Giants to move up and select Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields with the 11th overall pick (9:38) and Alabama quarterback Mac Jones slipping to the New England Patriots at 15 (11:30). After that, the two get into the reunions between quarterbacks and their college teammates, including Clemson teammates Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne in Jacksonville, LSU teammates Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase in Cincinnati, Alabama stars Tua Tagovailoa and Jaylen Waddle in Miami and Jalen Hurts and Devonta Smith in Philadelphia (13:22). Later, the guys talk about the draft’s biggest surprises, including the Las Vegas Raiders taking Alabama offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood at pick 17 and the New Orleans Saints selecting Houston edge rusher Payton Turner at pick 28 (18:10). Rhett and Bucky keep things rolling by naming their biggest winners from Thursday night’s first round (21:48). They wrap up the show by revealing the best players still available heading into night two of the 2021 NFL Draft (24:31). - - Move the Sticks is part of the NFL Podcast Network. - Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com - Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com - Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com
