¶ O-Line and Defensive Signings
What's up everybody ? We are in free agency . 12 o'clock is supposed to be when most of the decisions are going to be made . We're already at 1240 pm on the Eastern Standard Time on the East Coast . Forgive the somber tone of this video , but you have to understand my perspective . But let's get into what's going on actually right now . There's so many things .
Over the weekend , we know josh allen signed a huge extension , so he's definitely going to be a bill , probably for the remainder of his career . A lot of guys are still on the market , but there's so many little subtle moves that are taking place that really got me concerned .
One of the things that nobody's talking about really are a lot of the o-line guys that are being picked up and re-signed . We thought they might get free from the teams . Guys like Ben Bredesen with the Tampa Bay Bucs Wasn't sure he was going to stay , but he was an unrestricted free agent and the Bucs brought him back on a three-year deal .
Just a little small thing like that , especially when you have a team like my team , the New York football giants , who need help on their line and some low-cost options , would have been a great move for Joe Shane to take advantage of Guys like Braden Smith with the Colts . He restructured his contract so he can stay with them .
Evan Brown re-signed with the Cardinals on a two-year deal . We were looking at Jonathan Allen . He's been a big name on the market for us . He spent some time in Minnesota with the Vikings . They got a couple of guys on the interior D-line Jonathan Bullitt and Jerry Tillery about to be free agents .
You know Minnesota's probably not letting him out of the building without signing him . That was a big target that we had for a free agency . Hassan Redick a lot of struggles and issues in New York with the Jets Just signed over the Bucs for a one-year deal . So there's little things like this that are going on .
The guys are even jailing more from the Chiefs . Offensive tackle I was thinking about him two-year deal . So he's staying with the Chiefs or he's going to the Chiefs from the Niners had some good stuff going on in San Francisco , had a few starts that he didn't make , but he only allowed one sack , no penalties and 271 snaps .
I mean these are the kind of guys that you want to bring on your team if you can help it , and we have a lot of needs and now all these guys are going in low cost . I don't know if they're even talking to the Giants or the Giants are even talking to them , or , even worse ,
¶ Giants Quarterback Crisis
they may all have the word on the street that the Giants is not a place for you to land because they don't trust management . That's going to lead me to the rest of the whole free agency picture , because I feel like this is what we're faced with . This is what's going on .
I would try to see if we can go live , uh , almost every day this week , uh , monday , tuesday and wednesday for sure . Just give you some updates on all the free agency stuff . Let's jump into what people want to actually hear about the whole quarterback situation .
I can't even go on other shows or do it collab without somebody asking about what the Giants can do at quarterback , and you know what . It's a legit argument . We got needs at cornerback for sure . Dj Reed and Charles Various Walls are guys that I think would be a big help to our team .
Of course , a right guard , will Freeze from the Colts and Tevin Jenkins are names that are being tossed around in free agency A lot of the things that we need on our roster , but obviously quarterback is the biggest deal , and right now the spotlight is on us as a franchise , it's on Joe Shane as a GM , and it feels like people don't want to come and play
in New York , which is supposed to be the mecca of professional sports . They don't want to come there and play . What we're hearing right now is that Aaron Rodgers was supposed to be coming to us in some talks and now I'm hearing this morning , when I woke up to this , that the Giants are waiting for Rodgers to respond .
Don't forget who Aaron Rodgers has thrown himself to be . If we're waiting for him to respond or waiting for him to make a decision , then we're . I don't like our chances . He's probably shopping himself around , and you know what ? Why wouldn't he ? Yeah , he's 41 years old , almost 42 . But he's shopping himself around because why not ?
People are in need of quarterbacks and he
¶ Rodgers, Wilson and Fields Situation
can provide some help there . As soon as we went live on this episode or on this video , I got a message saying that Aaron Watson is close to signing with the Steelers , which is something that was kicked around a little bit on national radio this morning . So I heard some of that , but honestly , I wasn't sure it was going to happen .
I thought that Russell Wilson having some rapport with DK Metcalf in the past , they would keep him on . Dk Metcalf in the past they would keep him on . So if that seemed to be the case , then it looks as though if that happens and Rodgers does sign with the Steelers , that's going to put both Fields and Russell Wilson likely on the street .
We know there's been some rumors about Justin Fields going to the Jets . There's been some interest there on both sides . I can see that Athletic quarterback . He can really help out . Guys like Garrett Wilson and Brees Hall yeah , I get it . It makes a lot of sense . Where's the lead ? Russell Wilson ?
Well , because Geno went to the Raiders , that kind of leaves him out of the picture . I think I don't see him going and saying watch it with Geno Smith after they're about to give him an extension . I don't see him going on a same roster with Geno Smith after they're about to give him an extension .
If they haven't done that already , they're going to give Geno at least a long-term deal . I guess that's two , three years , something like that I heard . So that leaves who's left out here ? You got guys like Jameis Winston are still left out here . Justin Fields if he doesn't go to the Jets . He's still going to be out here available .
We're still hearing Daniel Jones' name . I'm like , oh my God , we can't escape this man . His name is still being bandied about . It looks as though he may be going to the Colts or there's some interest there for that . He's definitely not coming back to the Giants . There's no room for that in our life .
In my dreams we're hearing that Sam Darnold is probably going to the Seahawks . It's hard to imagine that Seattle let Geno Smith walk out of there and they didn't have a backup plan in place . So I'm thinking that they're going to be going after Sam Darnold to kind of help out with their number
¶ Leadership Issues in New York
one wide receiver , jackson Smith-Njigba and some of their young talent . So that looks like it's going to be a lot there . Everybody thought Rodgers was going to the Vikings , but what does that mean ? Well , if Rodgers does not , he signs with the Steelers , as is being speculated right now .
What that means is that the Vikings are going to be looking for a quarterback in free agency , the Jets are looking for a quarterback in free agency , the Seahawks are looking for a quarterback in free agency , the Seahawks are looking for a quarterback in free agency , and I would say the Colts now , just because of what's going on . Look at what's happening .
They don't trust Anthony Richardson , so they are looking for a quarterback as well . What does that mean for the Giants ? This is where the stress is coming in . It doesn't seem like we're top priority for either Rodgers or Wilson .
I think there's still a chance now that Wilson may be pressed to do something if Rodgers doesn't come to the Steelers because he's not going to be on the same team with Aaron Rodgers . I don't see that happening . I don't think Justin Fields is going to want to do that either .
So that may give us a chance to get one of those guys , either Wilson or Fields , which is ideal considering the options that are left . James Wilson can potentially be a bridge , but we can get Rodgers Sorry , if you can get Scooby , if we can get Wilson or Fields , we definitely want to do that .
But it just seemed to be a feeling that people don't want to come and play for the Giants just because of the uncertainty
¶ Closing Thoughts on Giants Future
in the leadership . And you know what ? It's something that we can't want to come and play for the Giants just because of the uncertainty in the leadership , and you know what ? It's something that we can't really deny . It's factual . Even all of our fan base is uncertain about the leadership . We don't know what they're going to do .
We don't know if they can recruit players to come and play in New York , which , again , is the mecca . People should want to play there , but for some reason they're not coming . I think that all points to Joe Shane and the current Giants leadership . So today could be a great day we keep you guys informed as we know more .
But today could be a great day for the Giants . We may get a quarterback that we need and it gives us leverage in a draft . We can get who we want to be the rookie quarterback for the future , but we'll have somebody playing for us in 2025 , leading this team , or today could be doomsday for the Giants franchise . We'll get into it . I'll keep you updated .
