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.
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.
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.
Sam Darnold should hit free agency this spring, and the Giants are listed as the team most likely to sign him.
The New York Giants may have to deal with giving up legitimate draft capital while also paying a hefty sum for Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold.
Brandon Tierney says Sam Darnold is not as bad as his last two games, and believes he could be a good, cheaper option for the Giants next year.
Evan Roberts says the Jets and Giants would be wise to avoid adding Sam Darnold, but Tiki Barber would take him if other options don’t work out.
The Giants are 9-25 since that playoff victory, including 3-14 this year. However, they managed to win a game in Week 17 over the Indianapolis Colts that did just enough to knock New York into the No. 3 overall pick in a draft class with only two QBs who have first-round grades.
Quarterback Sam Darnold was a shell of himself over the team's final two games, committing three turnovers and getting sacked 11 times despite throwing for a combined 411 yards and a single touchdown.
Signed by the Vikings in March on a one-year, $10 million deal, Darnold — starting over injured rookie J.J. McCarthy, who underwent surgery for his meniscus during preseason — helped lead Minnesota to a 14-3 regular season record that boasted a nine-game win streak.
"The time is now for Darnold to cash in on his strong regular season. The New York Giants could be a strong landing spot for him. They have a true No. 1 receiver in Malik Nabers and a head coach in Brian Daboll who can maximize Darnold's arm strength and athleticism, as he did with Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills," Knox wrote.
