The New York Giants' quarterback situation continues to dominate the headlines as multiple reports suggest they are actively exploring their options. Could Matthew Stafford be on the move? A recent report indicates that the Las Vegas Raiders and Stafford’s camp have agreed on what a new contract would look like, but now the focus shifts to whether the Rams and Raiders can strike a deal. The Rams are reportedly interested in the sixth overall pick, but the Raiders may be hesitant to part with that valuable draft capital. Meanwhile, veteran quarterback trades don’t always work out, as history has shown. From Aaron Rodgers to Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan, and Deshaun Watson, big-name quarterbacks changing teams haven’t always led to immediate success. However, Stafford is one of the few examples where a trade worked, helping the Rams secure a Super Bowl victory.  

The Giants also remain linked to Shedeur Sanders, with multiple league insiders convinced the team has their sights set on the Colorado quarterback. That wouldn’t necessarily rule out the Giants bringing in a veteran as well, much like when they had Kurt Warner as a bridge quarterback before Eli Manning took over. The quarterback rumors don’t stop there. Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk reported that Aaron Rodgers may have reached out to the Giants, an unexpected twist given his current situation with the Jets. While the Giants haven’t shown any known interest, Rodgers’ potential willingness to take a pay cut just to spite the Jets adds another layer to the speculation.  

Beyond the quarterback position, the Giants are also in the market for help at cornerback. Reports indicate they are exploring free-agent options, including Byron Murphy Jr. from the Minnesota Vikings. The team’s secondary struggled last season, and with Deonte Banks as the only true long-term piece, they need reinforcements.  

Meanwhile, at the NFL Combine, a health concern arose for top edge rusher Abdul Carter from Penn State. A stress reaction in his left foot was discovered, adding to a lingering shoulder injury from the Fiesta Bowl. Though his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, initially stated that Carter might need surgery, it has since been confirmed that he will not require the procedure. Some scouts believe Carter is still a top prospect, but could this impact his draft stock? Teams will have to weigh the risks before investing a high pick in the talented pass rusher.  

With the NFL Draft approaching, free agency looming, and quarterback rumors swirling, the Giants have major decisions to make in the coming weeks. Could they pull off a blockbuster trade for Stafford? Will they draft Shedeur Sanders? And what should fans make of the Aaron Rodgers speculation? Stay tuned as the offseason drama unfolds.

Drew and Rob break down all the latest New York Giants news, including draft prospects, quarterback options, and the recent NFLPA report card that ranked the franchise’s facilities and team culture. They start with a deep dive into the Giants’ draft strategy, discussing potential targets in the upcoming draft. The “Would You Rather?” segment puts the spotlight on some of the most intriguing college prospects, including two-way star Travis Hunter, pass rushers like Abdul Carter, and standout quarterback options like Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward. With multiple positions of need, the Giants have several directions they could go on draft night.  

Quarterback remains the hottest topic, and rumors suggest that Matthew Stafford is the team’s top priority at the position. ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reported that the Giants are keeping a close eye on Stafford’s situation with the Rams before making any major moves. But is Stafford the right answer for New York? The hosts discuss alternative QB options in another “Would You Rather?” segment, comparing names like Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, and even current Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito. Could a young quarterback like Jaxson Dart or Cam Ward be a better long-term investment, or does New York need a veteran presence to steady the ship?  

The conversation then shifts to the Giants’ NFLPA player report card, which revealed some concerning trends. After ranking eighth overall last year, the Giants dropped significantly in key areas. Ownership, led by John Mara, saw its grade drop from a B+ to a C+, with players ranking the team 22nd out of 32 in terms of commitment to facilities and fostering a winning culture. The treatment of families, locker room quality, and nutrition programs also received disappointing marks. However, there were bright spots, as the strength and conditioning coaches earned an A-, and Brian Daboll still has the support of most players despite some concerns about his receptiveness to feedback.  

On the injury front, there’s good news for Giants fans. Dexter Lawrence was seen competing at the Pro Bowl and appears to be in good shape. Andrew Thomas is also progressing well, with no boot on his foot and reports that he’s been active in the weight room. John Michael Schmitz, Joshua Ezeudu, and other offensive linemen have been putting in work during the offseason, showing dedication to improving for next year.  

The show wraps up with a look at Howard Cross III, a potential Giants draft target and the son of former Giants legend Howard Cross. The Notre Dame defensive lineman has deep ties to the franchise and has expressed his desire to follow in his father’s footsteps. Cross embraces his underdog mentality, comparing himself to Batman—relying on film study, skill, and intelligence rather than brute strength. He believes his speed and versatility could complement a dominant force like Dexter Lawrence if given the chance to suit up in blue.  

With so many moving pieces this offseason, the Giants have crucial decisions to make. From potential QB acquisitions to draft-day targets, every move will shape the franchise’s future. Drew and Rob lay out all the scenarios and give fan

The New York Giants offseason is heating up with major rumors and key moves shaping the team's future. Reports indicate that the Los Angeles Rams have granted Matthew Stafford permission to speak with other teams, and the Giants are among those showing interest. With Stafford's contract situation in flux, a trade isn't out of the question. Jordan Raanan revealed that New York previously inquired about Stafford's availability at last year’s trade deadline, and if the Rams can't find a financial compromise, the possibility of Stafford in a Giants uniform could become real. Meanwhile, speculation around Kyler Murray’s future in Arizona suggests the Cardinals might look to move on from their former first overall pick. If they decide to sell high, the Giants could be a potential landing spot as they continue evaluating their quarterback options.  

On the coaching front, the Giants have hired former NFL running back Ladell Betts as their new running backs coach. Betts has been coaching at Iowa since 2021, where he helped develop standout Kaleb Johnson into an All-American. His connection to the Ferentz coaching tree adds another layer to Brian Daboll’s growing staff. The Giants hope Betts can elevate the team's backfield, which could be in flux depending on offseason moves.  

In other Giants news, Plaxico Burress’ Super Bowl ring was recently sold for a staggering $280,000, making it the second-highest price ever paid for a Super Bowl ring. Certification from Burress himself indicates that he sold the ring last November. The high price tag shows just how significant that championship moment was for Giants fans and collectors alike.  

As free agency approaches, NFL Wire has predicted that the Giants should target Trey Smith, the standout offensive lineman from Kansas City. The interior offensive line remains a major concern, and signing Smith could help stabilize the unit while allowing Jermaine Eluemunor to stay at right tackle. If a bidding war drives Smith's price too high, Will Fries could be a more affordable fallback option. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Falcons have been linked to Giants edge rusher Azeez Ojulari, who could be on the move in free agency.  

Another major draft storyline is unfolding as Shedeur Sanders has announced he won’t throw at the NFL Combine, instead focusing on interviews with teams and waiting for Colorado’s Pro Day to showcase his arm. This decision could impact the quarterback landscape as teams evaluate their draft boards.  

With all these developments, the Giants have no shortage of crucial decisions to make. Will they pursue Stafford or another veteran quarterback? Could they invest heavily in the offensive line? And how will their new coaching hires shape the team in 2025? Drew and Rob break down all the latest Giants news, rumors, and offseason speculation in this must-watch episode of 2 Giants Goofballs.

The New York Giants head into a crucial offseason with a massive salary cap increase that could give them the flexibility to reshape the roster. The NFL has informed teams that the cap will rise significantly, landing between $277.5 and $281.5 million. With this increase, the Giants currently hold around $45.1 million in available cap space, according to Spotrac. But that number could skyrocket past $85 million if they make expected moves, including cutting veterans like Nunez-Roches and restructuring key contracts. This level of financial freedom could position the Giants to be major players in free agency.  

As the Giants plan for their future, two of their stars have received well-deserved recognition. Dexter Lawrence and Malik Nabers both landed in PFF’s Top 101 players list. Lawrence continues to be one of the most dominant defensive tackles in the league, finishing with top-three grades at his position and racking up nine sacks in 2024. Meanwhile, Nabers was not only the best rookie wide receiver in the league but also ranked among the NFL’s top overall receivers with 1,204 yards, proving he is a cornerstone for the Giants’ offense moving forward.  

Adding to the offseason buzz, PFF outlined a dream scenario for the Giants that includes signing veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs and drafting quarterback Shedeur Sanders. The idea of pairing Diggs with Malik Nabers would immediately elevate the Giants’ passing attack, while Sanders’ polished mechanics and strong passing foundation make him an intriguing potential franchise quarterback. ESPN’s Jordan Raanan broke down what it might cost for the Giants to move up to the No. 1 pick, with a package including the third and 34th overall picks, plus possible additional Day 2 selections.  

The Giants also said goodbye to a former player as Jon Feliciano announced his retirement. Feliciano reflected on his time in New York, calling the team’s playoff win over Minnesota his favorite moment. Meanwhile, the coaching staff takes a hit as running backs coach Joel Thomas departs to rejoin the New Orleans Saints under new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.  

In a surprising turn, boxing legend Floyd Mayweather is reportedly leading a group looking to buy a 10% stake in the New York Giants. Mayweather, alongside real estate mogul Meyer Orbach, has reportedly secured $200 million in an escrow account as part of a larger $700 million proposal. If successful, this move could shake up the ownership landscape for the franchise.  

With major financial flexibility, potential blockbuster moves, and ownership intrigue, the Giants are setting up for a defining offseason. Drew and Rob break down all the latest developments and what they could mean for the future of the team in this episode of 2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates.

Drew and Rob dive deep into the potential free agency targets for the New York Giants, analyzing how each player could fit into the team’s roster for the 2025 NFL season. With plenty of names expected to hit the market, the Giants will have opportunities to upgrade key positions, but how aggressive will Joe be in making moves?  

One of the biggest names on the market is Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. At just 26 years old, Higgins has shown flashes of elite play, but injuries have limited him over the past two seasons. He’s never caught more than 75 passes in a season, but has still managed to put up strong numbers as a No. 2 receiver.

The offensive line remains a major concern, and Chiefs guard Trey Smith could be a big-time addition. At 25 years old, Smith has been one of the best guards in the league, ranking 11th overall per PFF. However, his medical history—specifically blood clots in his lungs—will be a major factor in any long-term deal. 

The secondary is another area that needs attention, and Dolphins safety Jevon Holland is a name to watch. Though he had a down year in 2024, his previous seasons have been stellar. The same goes for Jets cornerback D.J. Reed, who has been a consistent presence in coverage. Reed has experience mentoring Sauce Gardner?  

Another wide receiver option could be Bucs veteran Chris Godwin. While he’s coming off an ankle injury, Godwin has been a reliable target for years, catching nearly everything thrown his way. He has experience as a WR2 alongside Mike Evans in Tampa Bay, meaning he could seamlessly transition into a similar role in New York. 

If the Giants want to go the veteran route, Stefon Diggs and Amari Cooper are two big names to consider. Diggs, at 31, is coming off a season-ending ACL tear, while Cooper just had the worst statistical year of his career. Are they past their prime, or do they have enough left in the tank to be difference-makers?  

On the offensive line, Ravens tackle Ronnie Stanley and Vikings tackle Cam Robinson could be options, but both have had injury concerns in recent years. If the Giants want to upgrade the right tackle spot, would either player be willing to switch positions?  

At running back, Aaron Jones is set to hit the market after another productive season. While he’s still effective, he’ll be turning 30, and the Giants have to consider how much gas he has left in the tank. 

The cornerback market is also intriguing, with players like 49ers CB Charvarius Ward, Bills CB Rasul Douglas, and Lions CB Carlton Davis III available. Each brings a different skill set, but which one makes the most sense for the Giants' scheme?  

Finally, 49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga could be an under-the-radar signing. At just 26 years old, he was an All-Pro in 2022 but played only seven games last year due to injury. Would he be worth the gamble for a Giants secondary looking for a playmaker?  

Drew and Rob break down all these potential free agents, discussing the pros and cons of each and how they would fit into the Giants’ plans for 2025. With plenty of needs and limited cap space, Big Blue has some tough decisions ahead. Who should they ta

The latest episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates* dives into a shocking prediction for the Giants' 2025 season, as Pro Football Network (PFN) ran 1,000 simulations and didn’t project a single Giants win. We break down their probabilities against each opponent and whether the team can overcome the odds.  

The conversation then shifts to the upcoming NFL Draft, where ESPN’s Matt Miller made waves by stating that no quarterback in the 2025 class has a true first-round grade. Yet, despite this, top QB prospects like Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward are still expected to go early. With the Giants on the hunt for a franchise quarterback, how does this impact their strategy?  

PFN’s latest mock draft for the Giants is also discussed in detail, featuring a bold pick at No. 3 overall—Colorado’s Travis Hunter, a dynamic two-way player with game-breaking ability. The Giants also address needs at tight end, quarterback, and offensive line, selecting playmakers like Bowling Green’s Harold Fannin Jr., Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart, and several late-round sleepers.  

Boomer Esiason adds his perspective on the Giants’ potential pursuit of Matthew Stafford, questioning whether paying a 37-year-old QB upwards of $40 million per year is a smart move. Meanwhile, Giants co-owner John Mara and GM Joe Schoen have made it clear that finding a long-term quarterback remains the franchise’s top priority.  

The episode also covers the firing of defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson and whether it was connected to Deonte Banks’ struggles. NFL analyst Gennaro Felice gives Schoen credit for the Giants’ 2024 draft class, especially the selection of Malik Nabers, who had an electric rookie season.  

Other key topics include speculation on kicker Graham Gano’s future with the team, assistant GM Brandon Brown’s job security, and Mara’s reaction to banner planes flown by frustrated Giants fans calling for front-office changes.  

It’s a packed episode full of Giants news, analysis, and bold takes—don’t miss it!

The episode kicks off with the breaking news that Brian Daboll’s son, Christian Daboll, has left the Giants' coaching staff to pursue other opportunities. Christian was brought onto the staff by his father after working as a student coach at Penn State. 

From there, Drew and Rob shift their focus to the NFL’s latest running back rankings, where Giants rookie Tyrone Tracy was ranked 25th by Maurice Jones-Drew. Despite starting the season with limited snaps, Tracy exploded onto the scene following Devin Singletary’s injury, finishing the year with over 1,100 scrimmage yards. 

Next up, the conversation turns to Giants assistant general manager Brandon Brown, who has been tapped for an interview with the Jacksonville Jaguars for their open GM position. Brown has been instrumental in helping Joe Schoen reshape the Giants' roster, and his potential departure could be a major loss for the front office. 

The quarterback rumors surrounding the Giants are heating up, and Drew and Rob dissect the latest speculation. Shedeur Sanders, son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, revealed on his brother’s YouTube channel that he is scheduled for a pre-draft visit with the Giants. With New York still searching for its franchise quarterback, Sanders’ visit could signal legitimate interest from the team. 

Perhaps the biggest bombshell of the episode is Colin Cowherd’s report that the Giants are seriously considering a trade for Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. According to Cowherd, the Giants are unimpressed with this year’s draft class and are desperate to make a move that will keep Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen from being fired. The reported trade package would involve the Giants sending the No. 3 overall pick and a Day 2 selection to the Rams in exchange for Stafford. The hosts debate whether this move makes sense for the Giants, what it would mean for the future of the franchise, and if Schoen and Daboll are truly on the hot seat.  

The speculation doesn’t stop there. Cowherd also floated a wild scenario where the Rams, after trading Stafford, could then pursue Aaron Rodgers as a short-term replacement. With the Rams reportedly frustrated with constant QB drama and Kelly Stafford making public comments about her husband’s dissatisfaction, the possibility of Rodgers heading to Los Angeles has suddenly become a talking point. Drew and Rob break down how all of this could shake up the NFL landscape and whether the Giants should actually pull the trigger on a Stafford trade.  

Finally, the episode closes with an in-depth scouting report on Kyle McCord. The former Ohio State and Syracuse quarterback has been generating buzz heading into the draft, and the hosts analyze his strengths and weaknesses. McCord’s impressive high school and college career, including setting ACC records and leading Syracuse to a standout season, makes him an intriguing mid-round prospect. However, concerns about his mobility, ability to handle pressure, and tendency to lock onto his first read could impact his draft stock. Drew and Rob discuss whether he’s a legitimate option for the Giants and how he stacks up against other available quarterbacks.

Drew and Rob are back with another packed episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates*, covering the latest headlines surrounding the New York Giants. The coaching carousel has settled, and Mike Kafka is officially returning as the Giants’ offensive coordinator after Kellen Moore was hired by the Saints. Despite some speculation that Kafka could land the job in New Orleans, he remains in New York, ensuring continuity on Brian Daboll’s staff. What does this mean for the Giants' offensive approach in 2025, and how does it impact their ongoing search for a quarterback?  

Speaking of quarterbacks, the Giants are expected to pair a rookie signal-caller with a veteran this offseason. Sports Illustrated’s Connor Orr suggests that Big Blue could target Bengals backup Jake Browning as a bridge QB, allowing a potential rookie—like Cam Ward—to develop. Browning impressed in Joe Burrow’s absence last season, winning four of his seven starts and completing over 70% of his passes. The Giants hold the third overall pick in the draft, but could they also make a move for a seasoned quarterback to steady the ship?  

While the Giants are focused on their rebuild, they face some brutal odds heading into next season. BetMGM currently lists them at 200-1 to win the Super Bowl—the worst odds in the NFL. Even teams like the Raiders, Browns, and Saints, who are also dealing with major uncertainties, have better chances according to the sportsbooks. Can the Giants use this as motivation to prove the doubters wrong?  

Off the field, Giants fans got a reminder of their NFC East rivals’ success when Jermaine Eluemunor found himself unintentionally caught up in the Eagles’ Super Bowl parade at Disney. The veteran lineman took to social media, joking that he had to endure the Eagles' chant while trying to enjoy his last day at the park with his daughter. Meanwhile, Michael Strahan stirred up controversy among Giants fans when he waved an Eagles flag and said, "Fly Eagles Fly" during the Super Bowl pregame show. Amani Toomer didn’t hold back, calling it a "shot across the bow" and insisting that former Giants players have every right to demand better from the franchise. Carl Banks backed him up, making it clear that the Giants' alumni are frustrated with the state of the team.  

Looking ahead to the draft, Drew and Rob break down Ohio State quarterback Will Howard, who is rising up draft boards after leading the Buckeyes to a national championship. Howard’s journey from Kansas State backup to championship-winning QB has been remarkable, and his skill set could fit well in Brian Daboll’s system. He’s got the arm strength and athleticism but still needs refinement in his mechanics and post-snap reads. Could the Giants target him in the middle rounds if they miss out on one of the top-tier quarterback prospects?  

With the Giants holding the third spot in waiver priority, their offseason moves are just beginning. Who will they add, and what other changes are in store for Big Blue? Drew and Rob break it all down in another can’t-miss episode of *2 Giants Goofballs*!

The New York Giants are entering a pivotal offseason with tough realities setting in. The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, securing their second title in recent years. To make matters worse for Giants fans, former star running back Saquon Barkley now has a championship ring with the Eagles, a painful reminder of how far the Giants have fallen behind their NFC East rivals.  

Meanwhile, the Giants made an intriguing coaching hire, bringing in Chad Hall as their assistant quarterbacks coach. Hall, who previously coached wide receivers for the Jaguars and Bills, also happens to be Matthew Stafford’s brother-in-law. While some speculate this could signal interest in Stafford, it's more likely a move based on Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen’s familiarity with Hall from their Buffalo days.  

Quarterback remains the Giants' most pressing issue, with multiple mock drafts projecting them to take Miami’s Cam Ward or Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders with the third overall pick. Experts across the league are weighing in on who will start under center for the Giants in 2025, with opinions ranging from a rookie first-rounder to a veteran bridge option. While some believe Tommy DeVito could remain in the mix, others suggest names like Jameis Winston, Sam Darnold, and even Kirk Cousins as possibilities.  

Adding to the uncertainty, a bombshell report suggests the New York Jets will be moving on from Aaron Rodgers. While Rodgers would undoubtedly be an upgrade over any of the Giants’ recent quarterbacks, questions remain about his fit on a rebuilding team. Russell Wilson has also reportedly placed the Giants on his radar as a possible destination in 2025, but whether New York reciprocates that interest remains to be seen.  

Despite their struggles, the Giants do have some bright spots. Rookie cornerback Dru Phillips has been recognized as one of the team’s unsung heroes, showing promise in coverage. However, that hasn’t stopped ESPN from ranking the Giants as the second-worst team in the NFL, with only the Tennessee Titans ranking lower. Jordan Raanan emphasized that the team’s top priority is finding a long-term solution at quarterback, with owner John Mara making it clear that all options are on the table.  

With so many questions surrounding the Giants’ future, this offseason will be crucial in determining whether the franchise can finally turn things around or continue to lag behind its NFC East rivals. Drew and Rob break it all down in this episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates*, providing in-depth analysis and reactions to the latest Giants news and rumors.

Drew and Rob dive into a full breakdown of the New York Giants' secondary, analyzing the performances of the team’s cornerbacks and safeties during the 2024 season. With the defense facing plenty of ups and downs, the hosts take a closer look at who stepped up, who struggled, and what it all means for the Giants moving forward.  

Starting with the cornerbacks, Deonte Banks played in 14 games, recording 52 tackles, a forced fumble, and 12 pass interference penalties. While his raw stats showed plenty of involvement, his Pro Football Focus grade of 50.9 suggests that he had a tough season, particularly in coverage, where he earned a 50.3. Meanwhile, rookie Dru Phillips was a bright spot in the secondary, finishing with 71 tackles, seven tackles for loss, an interception, and a strong 77.5 PFF grade. His ability to make plays both in coverage and against the run made him one of the more promising defenders in the Giants’ secondary.  

Veteran Adoree’ Jackson had a mixed season, recording 28 tackles, five pass deflections, and a forced fumble while grading out at 69.0 overall. His coverage grade of 54.5 suggests that he struggled in one-on-one matchups, though his run defense was elite at 85.8. Cor’Dale Flott emerged as a key contributor, starting 10 games and totaling 53 tackles with an interception and seven pass breakups. His PFF grade of 62.2 showed solid play across the board, but there is still room for improvement. Isaiah Simmons saw his role shrink significantly this season, playing just 17% of defensive snaps, and his production reflected that. He finished with only 21 tackles and a 45.6 PFF grade, leading to questions about his long-term fit with the team.  

The safety group had its own share of ups and downs. Rookie Tyler Nubin showed his tackling ability with 98 total tackles, four tackles for loss, and a forced fumble, earning a 65.6 PFF grade. Jason Pinnock, a key part of the defense, recorded 85 tackles, four tackles for loss, and three sacks, but his coverage grade of 45.5 was a concern. Dane Belton played a full season, contributing 56 tackles, an interception, and six pass deflections while earning a respectable 62.5 PFF grade. Meanwhile, Anthony Johnson Jr. played limited snaps but made an impact in coverage, finishing with a 74.1 grade in that category.  

After breaking down the Giants’ defensive backs, Drew and Rob shift gears to discuss the upcoming Super Bowl matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. With the Chiefs heading to their fourth Super Bowl in five years and the Eagles looking to avenge their loss to Kansas City last season, the game is set to be a heavyweight showdown. The Eagles come in as slight 1.5-point favorites, with the over/under set at 49 points. The hosts share their thoughts on the matchup, highlighting the key factors that will decide the game and making their final predictions on who will walk away as Super Bowl champions.  

From the highs and lows of the Giants’ secondary to the biggest game of the NFL season, this episode covers it all. Whether you're looking for insight into the Giants' future or just want to hear Super Bowl predictions, Drew and Rob have you covered.
