Jun 18 Minicamp is underway at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center. Aside from extra meeting time and a slightly different routine, it is largely an extension of the 10 OTA practices the Giants held over the past three weeks. The Giants will return to the field Wednesday for their final practice of the offseason program and break until training camp in late July.

Jun 17 The early returns from the New York Giants on rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart have been positive this spring. Dart, the 25th pick in this year's draft, again worked primarily with the second-team offense behind Russell Wilson and ahead of Jameis Winston and Tommy DeVito. He fired a touchdown pass deep down the right sideline on his final rep of minicamp practice Tuesday.

Jun 16 The Giants and Jets will meet for two joint practices this summer, one at each team's respective training facility, ahead of their annual preseason game at MetLife Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 16 (7 p.m. ET). This is the third time the Giants and Jets will practice with each other in Daboll's four seasons.

Jun 13 The New York Giants offense is going to look a lot different this season despite the return of head coach Brian Daboll and his offensive scheme. New quarterbacks offer the promise of new hope for big plays down the field. Russell Wilson is going to hold the starting quarterback position this season. Wilson's touchdown-to-check down mindset as a quarterback sets the table favorably for Jalin Hyatt to get selective shots vertically down the field.

Jun 12 The New York Giants need to find a way to get Abdul Carter onto the field. Carter is primarily an outside linebacker in their defensive scheme, a position where they already have Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux. Considering all three are capable of recording double-digit sacks, it's a crowded position.

Jun 11 Prior to Dexter Lawrence's season-ending injury last season, the Giants were among the league leaders in sacks. Lawrence was in the midst of a career-year before an elbow injury forced him to miss the final month of the season. The 6-foot-4, 340-pound lineman registered a career-high nine sacks across his first 12 games before the injury, while also adding 16 quarterback hits, eight tackles for loss, one forced fumble and one pass defensed.

Former Giants
Daniel Jones - For pretty much six years, Daniel Jones kept his innermost feelings inside, safely tucked away, hidden from all but his closest allies, friends and teammates. He loved being the quarterback of the New York Giants, but that job and that position did not love him back.

Jun 9 Evan Neal's position change is quietly reshaping the Giants' offensive line. There was a time when Neal was viewed as a long-term building block. He was widely considered one of the most talented and intriguing tackle prospects of his class. The problem wasn't necessarily a lack of talent- - it was fit, development, and durability. Neal is now embracing a full-time switch to guard, and he's already working with the first-team unit at OTAs. That's not nothing.

Jun 8 The New York Giants might have a franchise quarterback waiting in the wings, but for the time being, they have joined a handful of other NFL teams in investing in a one-year rental with Russell Wilson. Will the bold move pay off? Only time will tell, but it's easy to see that Wilson is not generating a lot of confidence outside of the Giants' facility. The reality for the Giants is that they picked up a quarterback who hasn't looked so sharp since his playing days with the Seattle Seahawks.

Jun 7 Former Giants first-round pick Evan Neal is making a position switch this summer from offensive tackle to guard. It's not a natural progression for a 6-foot-7, 340-pound player who is seen as a prototypical tackle. Neal, the seventh overall selection in the 2022 NFL draft out of powerhouse Alabama, was seen as a "cant-miss" prospect who somehow missed. Injuries and underperformance have caused the Giants to move off of Neal and try him somewhere else along the line. It would be a real boon for Big Blue if Neal could make the transition.

Jun 6 Quarterback Russell Wilson's move to the New York Giants was somewhat overshadowed by the arrival of charismatic rookie Jaxson Dart, whom the Giants selected with the 25th pick of the 2025 Draft. Asked Thursday whether "having a first-round pick in the room" changes anything for him, Wilson made clear it "doesn't change anything at all."

Jun 5 There's renewed hope surrounding the New York Giants' passing game as the 2025 NFL season approaches. How could there not be? With Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart now manning Big Blue's QB room, the odds that we'll get some fireworks from coach Brian Daboll's offense are higher than they've been since he arrived in 2022.

Jun 3 The Giants kicked off the second week of organized team activities (OTAs) on Monday at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center. They will also practice Tuesday and Thursday, when all three coordinators, players, and assistant general manager Brandon Brown will meet with the media. They will have plenty to talk about based off the action at practices so far. Remaining practices: June 3, June 5, June 9-10, June 12-13, June 17-19 (minicamp).

Jun 2 Running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. got a late start behind Devin Singletary but was among New York's strong rookie class, taking the veteran's job by midseason and racing away with the opportunity. He'll start in 2025, armed with fourth-round rookie Cam Skattebo as a stylistic complement.

Jun 1 Giants QB Jaxson Dart ranked in top 5 backup QBs in new analysis. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has yet to take the field in an NFL regular season game and may not do so until later this year, if at all this season. And yet, despite that possibility, Dart, the 25th overall pick in the 2025 draft and the man the Giants hope will become their franchise quarterback for the next decade or more, earned a rather impressive, if not surprising, ranking from SI.com in its list of all 32 backup quarterbacks for the coming season.

Odell Beckham Jr. 'never' wanted to leave the Giants: 'I wanted to be the one' to get a Super Bowl in New York Beckham Jr. was traded to the Cleveland Browns in 2019.

May 31 The New York Giants wrapped up their first week of organized team activities (OTAs) on Friday, holding their third of 10 such practices at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center before minicamp in mid-June. Remaining practices: June 2-3, June 5, June 9-10, June 12-13, June 17-19 (minicamp).

May 30 As you may have heard, the Giants added three quarterbacks this offseason. Now we get to see them in action. The Giants spent the day working in the red zone around the 10-yard line. Russell Wilson kicked off the scoring with a touchdown pass to third-year running back Eric Gray. Wilson showed off his touch on another touchdown later in practice to wide receiver Darius Slayton, now wearing No. 18, on the left side of the end zone.

May 29 The Giants were on the field for the second official OTA on Wednesday. The first OTA was Tuesday, but it only lasted just under 45 minutes and there were no competitive team or 7-on-7 periods, which made today the first time this offseason the offense took the field against the defense.

NFL News
Dave Klein, one of only two sportswriters to attend the first 54 Super Bowls, died Wednesday, Steve Politi of NJ Advance Media reports. Klein was 85. Klein began his career at The Star-Ledger in 1961, following in the footsteps of his father, Willie, who was the longtime sports editor at the time.

May 28 Former Tennessee Vols wide receiver Jalin Hyatt has had a slow start to his NFL career. Hyatt, a third round selection by the New York Giants in the 2023 NFL Draft, showed promise as a rookie, catching 23 passes for 373 yards in his debut season. The former Vol, however, barely saw the field for the Giants in 2024, catching just eight passes for 62 yards on only 19 targets. Hyatt was talked up by the Giants' coaching staff ahead of the 2024 season, so why wasn't he utilized more?

May 27 The New York Giants take the field this week for Phase 3 of the offseason program, commonly known as OTAs. This is the spring fun stuff - actual on-field practices. There will be 10 practices over a three-week period, beginning on Tuesday. Media will have access to watch three of those practices and talk to players and coaches.

May 26 Phase three of the Giants' offseason workout program is right around the corner as Organized Team Activities (OTAs) kick off Tuesday. The active roster will be able to participate in team drills, pinning the offense and defense against each other for the first time this offseason. Contact is not allowed during OTAs, which makes it tough to decipher how the offensive and defensive linemen are performing.
But it does serve as a good opportunity for pass-catchers and defensive backs to show what they can do. The 10 OTAs over the next three weeks will be followed by minicamp. The team will then break for the summer before reporting back for the start of training camp towards the end of July. Players to watch.

May 25 The Giants are in the midst of their offseason program now that the draft - which was viewed optimistically by many - has concluded. After a second consecutive dismal season, New York is ready to put up or shut up in a talented and deep NFC East that featured two teams in last year's NFC Championship game. Did the Giants close the talent gap? Ranking NFC East offenses position-by-position.

May 24 Darius Slayton named among the league's most underrated wide receiver. When one thinks of the New York Giants offense, two names that immediately come to mind include whoever is the starting quarterback (in this case, Russell Wilson) and receiver Malik Nabers. Rightfully so, as both are among the most important members of the offense. But there is another just as important, if underrated, member of the offense who often doesn't get the credit he deserves: receiver Darius Slayton.

May 23 For several months signs have pointed toward Evan Neal transitioning from right tackle to guard for the New York Giants. A post from Paul Schwartz of the New York Post confirms that is indeed what will happen when the Giants begin OTAs next week. If he shows an aptitude for the position, perhaps he could supplant 35-year-old Greg Van Roten as the starter at that spot.

May 22 For a second straight year, the New York Giants will be featured on HBO's Hard Knocks. The acclaimed series will follow them and the rest of the NFC East for its in-season edition. Hard Knocks will provide an in-depth look at Russell Wilson's first steps as New York's new starting quarterback, the debut of highly-touted rookie edge rusher Abdul Carter, the second season of record-setting wide receiver Malik Nabers, and the development of the potential quarterback of the future, Jaxson Dart.

May 21 The New York Giants plan to begin the 2025 regular season with free agent veteran Russell Wilson under center, a clear upgrade from years past. Thus far, Wilson has shown that he can lead the Giants' offense both on and off the field in workouts, meetings, and interviews. After all, he is a 10-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champ who knows the ropes as well, or better, than any current player in the NFL.

May 20 Giants linebacker Micah McFadden may quietly become one of the team's most valuable defenders in 2025. As the Giants overhaul their defense with high-profile additions, McFadden's growth and untapped potential could be the glue that brings it all together. At 25 years old, McFadden's game thrives on chaos. He's an aggressive, instinctive weak-side linebacker who thrives shooting gaps and blowing up developing plays. Sometimes that leads to a higher missed tackle rate, but it's often because he's beating everyone else to the spot.

May 18 It's wild to think that a team that was tied for the No. 1 worst record in the NFL in 2024 could have the most difficult schedule, but that's how things sometimes land, and several reports confirm that, yes, the Giants have a doozie of a schedule. With that tough schedule, it's a good thing that they have veteran quarterback Russell Wilson in the fold for at least one year.

May 17 The schedule makers have the Giants playing four of their six division games in the first eight weeks of the season. For half of the team's first-half schedule to be division games is odd considering how the NFL has tried to play as many division games late in the season as possible. The fact the Giants play two of their road division games in the first two weeks of the season is even more unique. The last time the Giants opened their season with two divisional opponents was 2009, when they hosted Washington in Week 1 and visited Dallas in Week 2.

May 16 Predicting Giants 2025 schedule outcome. A game-by-game look to see where it's reasonable to believe the Giants could pull out a win. There's a long way to go before we can realistically assess the New York Giants' success with their very challenging 2025 schedule, and it's a very early prediction for each game.

May 15 The wait is over. The 2025 schedule is out. Fans can now plan their holidays accordingly. Three primetime games, including a pair at home against both of last year's conference champions, and two Super Bowl rematches highlight the Giants' slate, which begins with back-to-back road contests in the division against the Commanders and Cowboys. The Giants' home opener is set for "Sunday Night Football" in Week 3 against the Chiefs.

NFC East News
NFC East: Takeaways, full list of games for the Commanders, Cowboys, Eagles.
Giants - A beast of a schedule. The Giants have the hardest strength of schedule in the NFL based on last season's results. Eagles - Two particularly noteworthy stretches in Philadelphia's schedule. After opening against the Cowboys, the Eagles take on the reigning AFC champions at Kansas City, then host the Rams (who gave the Eagles the toughest playoff test last season). Cowboys - The opening game is a whopper for ratings, against the defending champions, who swept them last season by a total of 62 points. Washington - They don't get their first shot to avenge their NFC Championship Game loss to the Eagles until Week 16 and then have the Eagles again two weeks later in the regular-season finale.

May 14 Giants record prediction 2025: 5-12. There's little doubt the Giants have made significant strides in improving the roster heading into 2025. The defense could finish inside the top 10 with an impressive front seven comprised of Dexter Lawrence, Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and Abdul Carter. The secondary also got a facelift with playmakers in Adebo and Holland. The biggest issue for the G-Men is the NFC East.
