Free Agency 2024 has unofficially gotten underway, as teams have opted to either tag their players or let them walk into Free Agency as the 2024 league year will commence next week. Make little mistake about it, the Giants have only been able to offer an offensive line that has continued to rank very low in the NFL for several seasons. Aggressively pursuing offensive line help, whether it be through the draft or in Free Agency 2024, may offer a key addition and finally solve those problems. Giants Have Struggled At Offensive Line Positions A common theme throughout the Giants…

There is no denying that the New York Giants and QB Daniel Jones has been the topic of much debate over the past few years. The former 6th overall draft selection, one drafted by a regime that would be wiped clean after the 2021 season, Jones has had highlights in his time thus far, and an equal amount of lowlights. Despite the fact that the Giants were reportedly “done” with the former Duke Alum, top NFL executives may have other ideas about what is truly occurring.

Xavier McKinney was about as stunned as anyone when he was told he would not receive a transition tag. The fourth-year player from Alabama has made a name for himself within the Giants defense, but is now set to test the open waters–unless the Giants can agree to a new deal with the safety. He will face a highly competitive market, and is the youngest in a group of safeties that had all been released this week. How did Xavier McKinney get here? Here is what McKinney told Kay Adams on her podcast this week: “We’ve had talks, trying to…

The Philadelphia Eagles crumbled through December and January this past season. Despite their 10-1 start, a highlight including their victory in a Super Bowl rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs, the Eagles reversed to a 1-6 finish to end the season, including a loss to the Giants in Week 18. Saquon Barkley and the Giants have been longtime rivals of the Eagles. In that Week 18 finale, Barkley ran for two scores on 18 carries, which doomed the Eagles to take the NFC’s #5 seed, a result that ended the Eagles’ season the next weekend against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.…

The NFL is facing a second exodus of players in a position. This time it’s at the safety position. Just within the past week, players such as Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs, Justin Simmons, and more are being released by their current employers. It is of no coincidence that this is occurring at the exact same time as running backs, headed by Saquon Barkley, are also facing their own problems. What exactly is going on? What Is Happening to the Safety Position? Age is a common factor as to why certain players may seem expendable as they continue to navigate…

2024 Denver Broncos Rumors are only accelerating after the team officially released Russell Wilson. Two of their top Wide Receivers may be next. Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy were selected between two different NFL Drafts. Sutton was taken in the second round in 2018, while his teammate Jeudy was the 15th overall selection in the 2020 draft.

In the NFL Scouting Combine 2024, all major college players gathered to measure and perform for their potential future NFL employers. Many achieved excellence and boosted their stock. These players will undoubtedly be drafted highly in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Others, however, did not perform nearly as well, which will only serve to hurt their stock.

Daniel Jones was taken with the sixth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. From day one, criticisms, including those from former ESPN analyst Todd McShay were levied against the Giants for the selection, as many other options were on the table for a team in desperate need of help at other positions. These options included linebacker Josh Allen, recipient of the Franchise Tag from the Jaguars, the team who selected Allen immediately after Jones was taken. Were these criticisms justified, especially as the Giants may seek to replace Daniel Jones? https://twitter.com/KidBlueRB27/status/1764266775951131009 Daniel Jones was Eli’s Backup Eli Manning held…
