It’s mailbag time again, and surprise, surprise—the New York Giants’ quarterback situation is still dominating the conversation. Let’s dive into some fan questions and see what’s on everyone’s mind.
Do Teams Poach Players for Insider Info?
A fan worried that former Giants like Azeez Ojulari, Adoree’ Jackson, and Saquon Barkley joining the Eagles could give Philly an inside scoop on the Giants’ plays. The reality? Not really. Teams constantly change signals, play calls, and strategies, so while a player might share some tips, it’s not a major factor in free agency decisions. The Eagles signed Ojulari because they believe he can contribute—not to steal Giants’ secrets.
Draft Strategy: Is Jaxson Dart Worth the #3 Pick?
A fan asked if the Giants should take QB Jaxson Dart at No. 3 or risk waiting. The answer? It all depends. If the Giants don’t land a veteran QB they trust, they might feel pressure to go all-in on Dart. But if he’s not seen as a top-three talent, it’s a gamble to take him that high—kind of like when they drafted Daniel Jones at No. 6.
How Long Can the Giants Wait on Aaron Rodgers?
With rumors swirling about Stafford and Rodgers, another fan asked how long the Giants can afford to wait before moving on. The answer came Friday night when they signed Jameis Winston. He’s likely just a short-term fix, though—the real QB answer needs to come from the draft.
Should the Giants Trade Back for Dart?
Some fans think waiting to grab Dart later in the first round is risky, with teams like the Jets or Saints potentially jumping in first. The bottom line: it’s a roll of the dice. If the Giants truly believe he’s their guy, they should probably just take him at No. 3 and deal with the criticism.
Did GM Joe Schoen Mess Up at the Trade Deadline?
A fan questioned Schoen’s trade deadline strategy, noting that several players left in free agency without the Giants getting anything in return. While some situations were unavoidable (Saquon was never getting traded midseason), the team probably could have moved Azeez Ojulari for a mid-round pick. However, ownership’s aversion to “giving up” on the season might have played a role in keeping some players.
Who Gets an Extension in 2026?
Looking ahead, a fan asked which players might get contract extensions in 2026. It’s too early to tell, but names like Micah McFadden, Wan’Dale Robinson, and Cor’Dale Flott could be in the mix, along with Jermaine Eluemunor, depending on how things play out.
Are PFF Grades Overrated?
One fan defended Pro Football Focus (PFF) player grades, questioning why they aren’t treated as the ultimate evaluation tool. The reality? PFF grades are useful but far from perfect. They don’t account for matchups, assignments, or injuries, and sometimes the rankings just don’t make sense (e.g., 47 cornerbacks supposedly being better than Sauce Gardner in 2024). They’re a helpful metric, but not gospel.
Is Jalen Milroe the Answer at QB?
One fan was high on Alabama’s Jalen Milroe, but the response was blunt: he’s a project. Sure, he’s athletic with a big arm, but he’s raw. The Giants need someone who can contribute in 2025, not a QB who needs years to develop.
Could the Giants Do a ‘Hard Knocks’ Sequel?
A fan thought it would be entertaining to see the Giants on an offseason version of Hard Knocks. The answer? Not happening. The Giants hated how they looked on Hard Knocks and won’t be signing up for another round anytime soon.
That’s a wrap for this week’s mailbag! Keep those questions coming
