The Titans and Browns are best positioned for Sanders and Ward given that they hold the draft’s No. 1 and No. 2 picks, respectively. But the Raiders are in an equally dire situation to the Giants, and the Jets, Steelers, Colts and Saints all could make big changes, too.

As the New York Giants look ahead to the NFL Draft in possibly looking for their quarterback of the future, there is some speculation that they can look to free agency and sign a veteran like Sam Darnold. With the Giants looking to free agency to address some deficiencies, there are some who warn the team about going for a quarterback like Darnold.

It’s a near-lock that the Giants will draft a quarterback this year. They haven’t drafted one since Daniel Jones in 2019, so they’re overdue to take the bat off their shoulder. But it’s possible they don’t take a quarterback with the No. 3 pick, which I believe is the premise of your question.

Former New York Giants great Tiki Barber believes the team should bring in impending free agent QB Sam Darnold on a short-term deal.

The New York Giants are in the market for a quarterback this offseason but after back-to-back dud performances, Sam Darnold may be out.

Sam Darnold has had a tumultuous career, having started his career with the very worst and now been given the chance to finally prove his worth. With Minnesota continuing on with JJ McCarthy, that leaves the question of where he heads next.

An NFL writer explained why it's "easy to envision" former New York Giants QB Daniel Jones taking over a specific starting role in 2025.

Simms isn’t the only ex-NFL quarterback to call for the Giants to sign Darnold, who once played for the Jets. Earlier in January, another former Jet, Boomer Esiason called for the Giants to sign Darnold. Only his plan involved replacing head coach Brian Daboll for Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores.

Sam Darnold should hit free agency this spring, and the Giants are listed as the team most likely to sign him.

The Minnesota Vikings must eventually choose between Sam Darnold and J.J. McCarthy, but there may be a surprise factor in the equation. The post Vikings Expected to Consider $160 Million QB as Sam Darnold Replacement appeared first on Heavy Sports.

Coaching aside, the Giants' defense needs a major infusion of talent on this side of the ball in the worst way. On their defensive line, they have Dexter Laernce, but they have not quite found a player in the mold of Leonard Williams who can pair with Lawrence to help take some of the onus off him.

As such, Minnesota will be in prime position to revive another former starting quarterback's career in 2025 -- potentially as McCarthy's backup and/or his competition. The Vikings signed former New York Giants signal-caller Daniel Jones after he was cut mid-season and bringing him back is an option if Darnold departs.
