The New York Giants 2024 opponents - *2023 playoff teams.
Mar 27 All the yelling and screaming that surrounded last season has New York Giants coach Brian Daboll feeling some regret. Daboll and the Giants went 6-11 in a tumultuous year that ended with an explosive meeting between Daboll and former defensive coordinator Wink Martindale. It concluded with Martindale cursing out his former boss and the two sides eventually parting ways. "Yeah, there are times I wish I handled things a little bit differently, certainly," Daboll said of the past year. "So, you continue to grow, continue to evolve." NFL
News Mar 26 John Mara remains a strong supporter of the Giants' player procurement process and those atop the team's decision-making hierarchy. But he expects better results after a season that he said, "nobody was happy with." The Giants were 6-11 in 2023, a step back after winning nine games, plus one in the playoffs, the previous season. Mara also remains a vocal advocate of quarterback Daniel Jones, who was limited to six games in 2023 because of injuries, notably a torn ACL that ended his season on Nov. 5. And when he did play, Jones was subjected to frequent pressure because of a spate of injuries on the offensive line. Mar 25 The New York Giants decided to reshuffle their finances in 2024, boldly allowing running back Saquon Barkley and safety Xavier McKinney to walk in NFL free agency. Although this might have been the correct course of action for Big Blue, that doesn't mean departures like these won't end up thriving elsewhere. The Green Bay Packers' signing of McKinney is already getting a lot of attention around the NFL community, for example. Mar 24 After surrendering an NFL-high 85 sacks last season, New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen's top priority this offseason was to rebuild the offensive line. Through the first two weeks of free agency, no team has acquired more quality offensive linemen than the Giants. Mar 22 The New York Giants have had a busy start to the offseason following their lackluster 2023 campaign, which was marred by relentless injuries and poor performances. Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll have focused on retooling the most premium positions on the roster and ensuring they grow at a cheaper rate for a team with just over $40 million of cap space when it all started. Thus far, it seems to have worked out for them, but the true results won't be seen until the team takes the field next fall. Mar 21 Special
Report - What will the New York Giants running game look like without Saquon
Barkley? For the first time since the 2017 season, the New York Giants will not
have Barkley on the roster. The 27-year-old star running back signed a three-year,
$37.75 million contract with the rival Philadelphia Eagles last week. Even though
the writing was on the wall that it was unlikely Barkley would return to the Giants,
many fans were furious that he decided to sign with the Eagles of all teams. Mar 19 The New York Giants met with Russell Wilson last week. Then they signed Drew Lock. They have also heavily scouted all the top quarterbacks in this year's draft, and they've spoken to teams about the possibility of trading up, presumably to take one. Giants general manager Joe Schoen insisted at the NFL Scouting Combine last month that "I have faith in Daniel as our starting quarterback." But he also admitted the need to "address the position" because of the uncertain recovery timeline of Jones' recovery from his torn ACL. The Giants seem to be hedging their bets against Jones for the short term. But are they also plotting out new options for the long term? Mar 18 The New York Giants focused heavily on retooling their offensive line over the first week of free agency, signing Jermaine Eluemunor, Jon Runyan Jr., Austin Schlottmann, and Aaron Stinnie. ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports that the Giants have reached out to Neal's team to discuss the possibility of him moving to guard. More specifically, to left guard alongside Andrew Thomas. Mar 17 The Giants obtained Brian Burns in a trade with the Panthers, sending them a 2024 second-round draft choice (No. 39) and a 2025 fifth-round selection and agreeing to a swap of fifth rounders this year (the Giants getting No. 166 and sending No. 141 to Carolina). Burns is one of the NFL's most effective pass rushers. Former
Giants Mar 16 Just days after joining the New York Giants as a free agent, quarterback Drew Lock is clearing the air about his decision to leave Seattle and move to the East Coast. Contrary to what Seahawks general manager John Schneider expressed, Lock said the Giants did not offer the 27-year-old the chance to compete with Daniel Jones for the starting job. Former Giants Mar 14 The New York Giants have been fairly active during the "legal tampering" period of NFL free agency this year. The Giants have improved the offensive line...no, they just added mediocre players and missed out on the best free agent OLs. The Giants added an elite pass rusher...no, he's good but not worth the money they're paying him. The Giants let their best offensive player leave...no, he's an injury-prone back who's not as good as the best running backs in the league. NFC
East News Mar 13 The New York Giants have reached a one-year, guaranteed $5 million deal with former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock. The signing helps fill the void created by the departure of free agent Tyrod Taylor, who agreed to terms with the New York Jets on Monday. Lock will join starter Daniel Jones and Tommy DeVito in the quarterback room, but the Giants could potentially address the position early in next month's draft with the No. 6 overall pick. Mar
12 It
wasn't an easy day in East Rutherford, N.J., as the Giants let two good young
players walk away. But Joe Schoen knew rebuilding the Giants would require tough
decisions, and the GM believes strongly in the difference in values between positions.
Some players are worth big money. Others aren't. Saquon Barkley reached an agreement with the Philadelphia Eagles on a three-year, $37.75 million contract that could be worth up to $46.75 million and includes $26 million fully guaranteed at signing, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Barkley now beats the franchise tag number and has a maximum average-per-year salary of $15.833 million, which would be second highest for a running back in NFL history. The Giants have agreed to terms with running back Devin Singletary, pending a physical. Singletary was a third-round pick (No. 74 overall) by the Buffalo Bills in 2019. After spending his first four seasons with the Bills, Singletary spent the 2023 campaign with the Houston Texans. The 5-foot-7, 203-pound running back appeared in all 17 games with 10 starts for the Texans last season. He finished with a career-high 898 rushing yards on 216 rushing attempts (4.2 yards per carry) with four touchdowns and added 30 receptions for an additional 193 yards. Packers to sign Giants safety Xavier McKinney to four-year, $68M deal. Green Bay revitalizes its secondary with the NFL's highest-graded safety in coverage. The 24-year-old's new deal ranks as the fourth highest in average per year ($17 million) and total value ($68 million) among all NFL safety contracts. Pro Football Focus graded him as the NFL's best safety in coverage (91.2 coverage grade) as he totaled three interceptions while not allowing any passing touchdowns in 2023. Mar
11 Giants'
last-minute guide to 2024 NFL free agency. The New York Giants 2023 season
didn't go as planned. After making a surprise appearance the previous year, just
about everything that could have gone wrong for New York did. Quarterback Daniels
Jones suffered a season-ending ACL tear, running back Saquon Barkley battled his
own injury issues and the Giants regressed on both sides of the ball, fairly substantially. Mar 9 Giants have 'exploratory meeting' with Russell Wilson ahead of NFL free agency. On the surface, it was exploratory. Due diligence. Does Russell Wilson to the Giants make sense? Given the Giants quarterbacking situation, which - to put it mildly - is in flux, why not have a look? Incumbent starter Daniel Jones is coming off a torn ACL, and his status for the start of the season is in question. Jones' veteran backup, Tyrod Taylor, is as injury prone as Jones is and a free agent who may or may not be re-signed. Mar 8 Tiki Barber may be the Giants all-time rushing leader, but he has a warning for Saquon Barkley ahead of free agency after rumored Eagles interest Saquon Barkley's tenure with the New York Giants may be coming to an end, but where his next destination might be has many in the area uneasy. Originally born in the Bronx, Barkley's family moved to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania - just an hour outside of Philadelphia - when the future NFL running back was just four years old. The rumors have left one of New York's greatest running back legends beside himself when thinking about that possibility. Mar 5 Special
Report - A look at the top quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL Draft and what it
would take for the Giants to draft them. After another injury-riddled and turnover-plagued
season, even the most avid Daniel Jones supporter must acknowledge it's time for
the Giants to move on from him. His record as a starter is now 22-36-1, and the
only time he hasn't missed time due to an injury in his five-year career was in
2022. Mar 3 The New York Giants are releasing veteran guard Mark Glowinski after two seasons with the team. The Giants signed him to a three-year, $20 million deal to be a starting guard as they tried to rebuild their offensive line. It didn't work. The Giants' line was a liability last season, allowing a league-high 85 sacks. It was an expected move after Glowinski lost his starting job following a rough start to the 2023 season. It was hardly just Glowinski. Mar 2 The 2023 NFL season marked Darren Waller's first with the New York Giants. And it could be his last. The Pro Bowl tight end contemplated retirement immediately following the year, according to the New York Post. Waller has not decided whether he will play in 2024 as he is currently weighing is options. Former
Giants Mar 1 Put NFL analyst Chris Simms firmly in the 'build around Daniel Jones' camp when it comes to the question of what the New York Giants should do at quarterback this offseason. There has been a constant stream of chatter about the possibility the Giants are considering moving up from No. 6 to No. 3 -- provided the New England Patriots are willing to move out of that spot -- to get one of the top three quarterbacks. Simms doesn't believe the Giants, coming off a 6-11 season, are in a position to trade away the necessary draft assets to move up. Feb 29 Brian Daboll was one of the best-performing categories for the New York Giants. He received an A- grade by the NFLPA for his performance as a head coach this past season. Considering there were grades as low as F in these categories, the Giants made out well on these report cards. New York did not have a lower than a C grade in any category. NFL News Feb 28 Last season Joe Schoen confirmed he listened in on the play calls starting with the second Washington game but denied it had anything to do with any staff friction. Schoen addressed his involvement during the team's second game against the Commanders last season, allegedly to monitor how head coach Brian Daboll was interacting with the staff during a game when tensions can run high. Schoen confirmed that he did listen to the play-calling sequence on the headset, but not for the reasons reported. Feb 24 The NFL Scouting Combine is next week in Indianapolis. Teams will be interviewing draft prospects, putting them through medical exams and watching them go through athletic testing all week. That, though, won't be the only business conducted. The other dirty little secret that isn't really a secret is that a lot of the groundwork for free agent deals will be laid in Indianapolis. Deals won't officially get made, but a whole lot of information about who might be willing to go where, which players teams are interested in, and what certain players are looking for will be exchanged. Feb 18 With the new league year in the NFL opening on March 13, the New York Giants will soon need to face reality and make some tough decisions regarding free agency. With a whopping 26 free agents according to Spotrac, many of whom are expecting high-paying extensions, the Giants will undoubtedly have to burn some bridges this offseason. Here's a list of the free agents that will be hitting the open market and some early predictions on how some critical decisions will shake out come March 13. Feb 16 The Giants have a number of key free agent decisions to make with Saquon Barkley and Xavier McKinney set to hit the open market. The same is also true of cornerback Adoree' Jackson, who recently doubled down on his desire to remain in New York on a new deal. He has served as a full-time starter during his Giants stint, racking up 23 pass deflections and a pair of interceptions along the way. Jackson earned solid PFF grades in his first two Giants campaigns, but things took a turn for the worse in 2023. [
