Giants Wire Podcast

We know, Giants fans have heard this one before. Teams are looking to move up in next week’s NFL Draft, and the Giants once again own some prime real estate. Will GM Dave Gettleman finally pull the trigger and acquire some extra draft assets? The guys justify that strategy at pick No. 11 overall, react to Gettleman’s joint presser with assistant GM Kevin Abrams, and discuss Saquon Barkley’s future hold-out potential.

 With news that GM Dave Gettleman has become “enamored” with Alabama WR Devonta Smith, the guys discuss the possibility of that pick at No. 11 overall. Also, thoughts on Joe Judge building a small army of coaches, and a closer look at the EDGE prospects in this year’s draft class.

Two teams with top-10 overall draft picks, the Jets and the Panthers, swung a trade for QB Sam Darnold. What does that mean at picks Nos. 2 and 8, respectively? What changes for the Giants? The guys reset their wish lists for the Giants at No. 11 overall, and also discuss the pending fifth-year options for Saquon Barkley and Jabrill Peppers.

With the NFL Draft just weeks away, the guys break down some of the star talent that should still be on the board when the Giants pick at No. 11 overall. They also discuss the Danny Shelton signing, and react to John Mara’s recent comments about the team to the New York Post.

Kenny Golladay. Adoree Jackson. Kyle Rudolph (eventually). The Giants have leveraged this year’s depressed salary cap number into multi-year deals with top free agents. How should fans feel about those in the national media bashing the team for overspending? The guys give their take and react to the Giants’ flurry of headline-grabbing moves. Also, why the narrative on Daniel Jones just got turned up a few notches.

It was a quiet, sort of head-scratching start to free agency for the Giants. The guys react to nose tackle Dalvin Tomlinson’s new contract with the Vikings, and the team’s decision to pair Saquon Barkley with former Raiders RB Devontae Booker. Also, a plea for the Giants to compete for WR Kenny Golladay’s services. (Note: This podcast was recorded before news of Leonard Williams’ three-year extension was announced.)

 When Giants GM Dave Gettleman and head coach Joe Judge speak, you know we’re listening! The guys react to those pressers, discuss the team’s decision to franchise tag Leonard Willimas, and debate what Dak Prescott’s new player-friendly contract could mean for the Giants and Daniel Jones.

The debates over Daniel Jones’ standing as the Giants’ franchise quarterback will rage on. This much is for certain: It’s up to Jones to prove he’s the guy in Year 3. In the return of the Giants Wire Podcast for the 2021 season, the guys discuss how the team could help their young quarterback make a Josh-Allen-like leap via free agency and the draft.

It wasn’t meant to be. The Giants needed help to become the NFL’s first team to reach the playoffs with only six wins, but the Eagles and coach Doug Pederson did them no favors in an ugly loss to Washington. Did the Eagles quit? Giants coach Joe Judge certainly thinks so, and he didn’t hold back in some of the most epic commentary of the year. The guys react to Judge, and discuss what this up-and-coming team needs to address in the offseason to come back as a contender in 2021. The 19th and final episode of the Giants Wire podcast is powered by the USA Today Sports Media Group, with sports betting advice for the NFL playoffs from the Sportsbook Wire.

After 16 weeks, the comical NFC East title race comes down to a simple parlay for the Giants: beat the Cowboys and then root for the Eagles to beat Washington. If that happens, the Giants will be the first team in league history to host a playoff game with a 6-10 record. But what should Giants fans be rooting for, a top 10 draft pick or the experience of hosting a wild-card playoff game? The guys discuss that very question and break down an interesting Week 17 game against Dallas, which can clinch the division itself with a win and a Washington loss. Episode 18 of the Cowboys Wire podcast is powered by the USA Today Sports Media Group, with a fantasy segment from The Huddle and sports betting advice from the Sportsbook Wire.
