The New York Giants have hopefully shifted their luck at quarterback for next year after almost turning the whole room over from 2024.
The New York Giants have hopefully shifted their luck at quarterback for next year after almost turning the whole room over from 2024.
The only remaining member of the Giants' QB staff from a year ago is Tommy DeVito, and he's been pushed farther down the depth chart with the arrival of Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston and after the team drafted Jaxson Dart.
The team is high on Dart as he enters his rookie season after they drafted him at No. 25 overall in the first round earlier this month in Green Bay.
Analyst and former NFL quarterback Chris Simms has already made a bold prediction regarding Dart.
"If Jaxson Dart is phenomenal through training camp and in OTAs and has a really good preseason, and Russell Wilson's just OK and doesn't look all that sharp? I don't think they'll be scared to start Jaxson Dart," Simms said. "He played in an NFL offense under Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss, so he's really good as far as reading coverages, going through the reads, and doing all that, and by all accounts, it sounds like the guy that Daboll really wanted was Jaxson Dart
"I wouldn't be shocked Week 1, I think realistically, if you made me bet, I'd say somewhere around Week 5 or 6 is where I'd expect it."
If that's the case, keeping both Wilson and Winston would be unnecessary and not cost-effective. And SportingNews thinks Winston would bring in more draft capital than Wilson in a trade - albeit not much.
"Trading Jameis Winston wouldn't result in a massive haul of picks, but it would be a win even if the New York Giants could land a Day-3 selection for the former first-overall pick."
After all, it's better to get something for Winston than nothing down the road.
