The New York Giants’ top priority over the next 60 days is to find themselves a starting quarterback for the upcoming 2025 season. Ideally, that player will be the “answer” at the position for them, providing both a short and a long-term solution.
It won’t be easy, however. First off, the options may be aplenty but is the quality they need there? Second, the decision has to be made quickly.
Lastly, they don’t hold all the cards. There will be a glut of competition vying for quarterbacks along with them.
Giants general manager Joe Schoen isn’t likely to give much insight on his plans at his press conference on Tuesday at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.
Big Blue has just one quarterback in the fold at the moment and it’s third-stringer Tommy DeVito. The whole league knows they will be driving hard to the hoop for a signal caller, which will make a trade much more difficult to pull off.
The favorite partner in rumored trades is the Los Angeles Rams, who have permitted Matthew Stafford to seek a new home. The Giants have reportedly been in contact to some degree.
If Stafford and the Giants are a match, they would then have to negotiate with the Rams on a trade, one in which Los Angeles will undoubtedly ask for the No. 3 overall pick in the draft.
That would likely cause the Giants to balk at a deal for the 37-year-old Stafford, whose contract extension won’t come cheap.
That would leave free agency and the draft as their best options. The free agent pool is shallow. There are really no long-term solutions there.
The draft class is also not considered a top one. There is Miami’s Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders of Colorado, Alabama’s Jalen Milroe, and Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss.
Ward might be off the board by the time the Giants select at No. 3. Sanders will not throw at the Combine, so they won’t likely get a solid look at him until after free agency begins in mid-March. Dart and Milroe aren’t considered worthy of the third overall pick.
Schoen has a short window to make what will be the biggest decision of his four-year tenure with the Giants. If he can’t get a deal for Stafford done and gets iced out in free agency, he’ll have just the draft to fall back on.
As stated, that might be the best course of action in an offseason where teams searching for a quarterback have few viable options.
