Key Offseason Additions: Edge Brian Burns, OT Jermaine Eluemunor, QB Drew Lock, WR Isaiah McKenzie, DB Jalen Mills, DL Jordan Phillips, G Jon Runyan, RB Devin Singletary, WR Malik Nabers, S Tyler Nubin
Notable Departures: RB Saquon Barkley, S Xavier McKinney, DL A'Shawn Robinson, QB Tyrod Taylor, DL Jihad Ward
Remaining Team Needs: RB, TE, CB
Cap Space: $6.2 Million Doesn't likely reflect $11.6 million cap saving from a post June 1 release of Darren Waller.
Realistic Targets: RB Kareem Hunt, TE Robert Tonyan Jr., CB Eli Apple
The New York Giants opted not to draft a new quarterback in 2024, though they did make a push for North Carolina's Drake Maye.
"The Giants, hot for quarterback Drake Maye, put their bid in — believed to be the No. 6 pick this year, their second-round pick (No. 47 overall) and their 2025 first-round pick," Paul Schwartz of the New York Post wrote.
The Patriots didn't bite on New York's offer and instead took Maye for themselves. This leaves the Giants looking at a season of Daniel Jones, Drew Lock or some combination of the two at quarterback.
The good news is that the Giants are finally equipped to give their quarterbacks a strong supporting cast. Jermaine Eluemunor and Jon Runyan will help solidify the offensive line, while rookie Malik Nabers should be the No. 1 wideout New York has lacked.
Offensively, the biggest remaining challenge will be trying to replace do-it-all running back Saquon Barkley. Devin Singletary is poised to be the new starter, but the Giants will likely employ a committee approach.
Adding Kareem Hunt would give New York a viable short-yardage and goal-line back to round out that committee.
The Giants could also use insurance at tight end, as 2023 addition Darren Waller continues to mull retirement. An experienced pass-catcher like Robert Tonyan Jr. would provide solid depth alongside Daniel Bellinger and rookie fourth-round pick Theo Johnson.
Defensively, the Giants should continue addressing a secondary that ranked 24th in net yards per pass attempt allowed last season. They might not have the cap space to pursue a top cornerback, but they could likely afford a reunion with Eli Apple.
Apple was a role player in Miami last season, but after New York traded him in 2018, he became a reliable starter for the Saints and Bengals.
Eli Apple??
Their opinion, but not unreasonable.
Cheers!
