  • Giant Updates: Stay In The Know With New York Giants News
    Jun 27 2024

    DJ organized an off-season workout in NC, taking several teammates with him for both training and bonding. Joining Jones were quarterbacks Drew Lock and Tommy DeVito, wide receivers Slayton, Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson, Hyatt, Ford-Wheaton, and Dennis Houston, tight ends Bellinger, Theo Johnson, and Lawrence Cager, and running back Dante Miller. Beyond their football drills, the group engaged in team-building activities, including jet skiing, a moment captured and shared on Twitter. This workout tradition dates back to 2011 when Eli Manning initiated it, bridging the gap between OTAs and training camp.
    Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers didn't shy away from calling out Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs during a Bleacher Report interview, saying he can't wait to match up against him. Diggs responded on Twitter, referencing the Cowboys' dominance over the Giants with a taunting message. Nabers retorted with a coffin emoji, intensifying the rivalry. The Giants face the Cowboys in weeks 4 and 13 this season. While Diggs is recovering from an ACL tear, Daron Bland has emerged as a strong contender for the Cowboys' top cornerback spot. The burgeoning rivalry echoes sentiments expressed by last year's Giants first-round pick Deonte Banks, who vocally celebrated victories over the Commanders.
    The "Hard Knocks" trailer featuring the New York Giants offered some intriguing insights. Giants GM Joe Schoen was seen discussing Saquon Barkley's contract situation, stating, "Can you give us your word on that or are you not going to give us a chance?" This followed reports that the Giants never made Barkley an offer during the offseason. The trailer also captured Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll deliberating a trade for Brian Burns, with Schoen noting the high cost: "We would have to trade, like, two twos, and then you’d have to pay him $28-$29 million." Ultimately, the Giants acquired Burns for a second-round pick, a fifth-round pick, and a swap of fifth-round picks. The trailer hinted at the Falcons' interest in trading down, sparking curiosity about what the Giants might have gained if they had traded the sixth pick.
    The Giants have opened their first training camp session to the public on July 24, continuing through multiple dates in late July and early August. Joint practices with the Lions on August 5 and 6 will also be accessible. Fans can look forward to giveaways, autographs, and various activities. While attendance is free, tickets are required and will be available soon on the Giants' official website.
    With Darren Waller’s retirement, tight ends Lawrence Cager and rookie Theo Johnson have stepped up. ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reported that both players received first-team reps during spring practices. Head coach Brian Daboll praised Cager, calling him “probably one of the most improved players throughout the offseason.” Cager's increased speed and understanding of the system have been highlighted, suggesting he could play a significant role this season.
    Pro Football Focus ranked the Giants' defensive line 18th in the NFL. Dexter Lawrence's dominant pass-rushing skills set him apart as a unique nose tackle. The addition of Brian Burns in the offseason bolsters the Giants' edge-rushing capabilities, but the team is looking for further development from Kayvon Thibodeaux.

  • Breaking News: What's Happening With The New York Giants?
    Jun 25 2024

    Pro Football Focus ranked Joe Judge as the sixth worst head coaching hire in NFL history. Judge’s tenure with the Giants was marred by a 10-23 record and a particularly infamous play during his final game in 2021. With the Giants backed up against their own goal line, Judge called for consecutive quarterback sneaks on 2nd-and-11 and 3rd-and-9, showcasing a lack of confidence in his offense. Although reports suggested his job was secure before Week 17, Judge was fired after this game. His issues were compounded by a poor roster and forced decisions, such as having Jason Garrett as his offensive coordinator, and overall, Judge was not ready for the head coaching role.

    Isaiah Simmons is set to see a role change according to Titans' defensive coordinator Shane Bowen. Simmons, previously used as a linebacker in passing downs, will now play nickel on first and second downs and a "MONEY" role on third downs. This shift aims to better utilize his coverage and blitzing skills.

    Daniel Bellinger and Jack Stoll attended Tight End University, an event started by Greg Olsen, Travis Kelce, and George Kittle in 2021. This is Bellinger's third consecutive year attending. Notably, Theo Johnson was absent from the event.

    The Giants' "Helmet Catch" was named the franchise's best play during the "Nights with Legends" event celebrating their 100th season.

    ESPN’s Aaron Schatz suggested that the Giants should sign defensive lineman Lawrence Guy to address their defensive depth. While tight end is a need after Darren Waller’s retirement, the defensive line and cornerback positions are seen as more pressing. Guy, a 13-year NFL veteran, could provide depth despite a lower PFF grade and being 34 years old.

    Justin Pugh believes 2024 is a make-or-break year for Daniel Jones. In an interview with SiriusXM NFL Radio, Pugh stated that Jones must prove he is worth his $47 million cap hit. Pugh highlighted Jones' efforts in OTAs and his need to perform well, especially with the Giants having an out after this season.

    Pro Football Focus ranked the Giants' receivers as one of the worst in the NFL, placing them 28th. The performance of rookie Malik Nabers is crucial, and the loss of Saquon Barkley and Darren Waller has negatively impacted the team's outlook. The additions of Nabers and Theo Johnson provide some hope, but there are concerns about the downgrade from Barkley to Devin Singletary.

    SI’s Connor Orr made a bold prediction that Drew Lock could end the season as the Giants' starting quarterback. If Daniel Jones struggles, Orr believes Lock could take over, especially given Jones' injury history and inconsistent performance last season.

    CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin listed Brian Daboll on the hot seat, despite his Coach of the Year win in 2022. Daboll's challenge is to revive Daniel Jones' performance and secure commitment from a team that has not had coaching stability since Tom Coughlin.

    Former Giants center Greg Larson passed away. A sixth-round pick out of Minnesota in 1961, Larson spent 13 seasons with the Giants, appearing in 179 games and starting 153. He was a 1968 Pro Bowler and missed only three games during his career, despite undergoing seven surgeries, including two on his knee.

    Prince Amukamara spent five years with the Giants, appearing in 55 games and starting 45 of them. He recorded 261 tackles, seven interceptions, 43 pass deflections, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and six tackles for loss. After his stint with the Giants, he played for the Jaguars, Bears, Raiders, and Cardinals, with a brief period with the Saints. He retired as a Giant in 2023, finishing his career with 113 games, 99 starts, 10 interceptions, and 78 pass deflections. Prince was known as a solid but not elite cornerback, often hindered by minor injuries. A devout Christian and dedicated philanthropist, he works with Up2Us Sports and Alliance Sports Training in Omaha.

    Round 2: Marvin Austin, DT, North Carolina

    Marvin Austin's college career was marred by controversy over improper benefits, leading to his ineligibility in his senior year. Drafted by the Giants, he missed his rookie season due to a torn pectoral muscle. Over his career, he played in 26 games, recording 22 tackles. His NFL journey included short stints with the Dolphins, Cowboys, and Broncos. He last appeared in the NFL in 2015 and has stayed out of the public eye since, with little known about his post-football life.

    Round 3: Jerrel Jernigan, WR, Troy

    Jerrel Jernigan contributed to the Giants' Super Bowl win as a rookie, primarily as a kick returner. His best season came in 2013 with 29 catches for 329 yards and two touchdowns. Jernigan's career totals include 34 games, 38 catches for 391 yards, and three total touchdowns. After his NFL career, he briefly signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL but never played a game. He now serves as the head coach at Eufaula High School in Alabama, his alma mater, and was named the 5A Coach of the Year in 2023.

    Round 4: James Brewer, T, Indiana

    James Brewer, who began playing football only in his senior year of high school, spent four seasons with the Giants, playing in 26 games with eight starts. He signed with the Jets in 2015 but was waived before the season. His life after football remains largely private.

    Round 6: Greg Jones, LB, Michigan State

    Greg Jones started games as a rookie due to injuries in the Giants' lineup and was part of the Super Bowl-winning team. He was cut before the 2012 season and later played briefly for the Jacksonville Jaguars and in the CFL. Jones earned a CFL All-Star nod in 2015. He is married, has a daughter, and is active in various ventures, including motivational speaking and leadership camps. He also works with Rodan+Fields, a multi-level marketing company, and has a consulting role.

    Round 6: Tyler Sash, DB, Iowa

    Tyler Sash's career was cut short by injuries and a suspension for using Adderall. He played 23 games for the Giants, recording 26 tackles and one forced fumble. Tragically, Sash passed away in 2015 at age 27 due to a drug overdose, later revealed to have stage 2 CTE.

    Round 6: Jacquian Williams, LB, South Florida

    Jacquian Williams made a crucial play in the 2012 NFC Championship game, forcing a fumble that led to the game-winning field goal. He played every linebacker position for the Giants and was mentored by Jon Beason. Williams' career totals include 51 games, 22 starts, 2

  • Revisiting the 2013 Giants Draft Class
    Jun 20 2024

    In Round 1 (19th overall), the Giants selected Justin Pugh, a tackle from Syracuse. Pugh spent his first five seasons with the Giants before signing a five-year, $44.8 million contract with the Cardinals. He returned to the Giants midseason last year. Over his six years with the Giants, Pugh played in 75 games, all as a starter. His career spans 11 seasons with 132 games and 131 starts. Pugh got married in April 2022 and has been active on YouTube, hinting at plans for life after football. Some Giants fans hope the team re-signs him for the 2024 season, although he is currently a free agent.

    In Round 2 (49th overall), the Giants picked Jonathan Hankins, a defensive tackle from Ohio State. Hankins became a starter in his second year and developed into an above-average player. He played all four years of his rookie contract with the Giants, appearing in 52 games with 41 starts, recording 140 tackles, 10 sacks, 19 tackles for loss, and 26 quarterback hits. After leaving the Giants, Hankins played for the Colts, Raiders, and Cowboys. He recently signed with the Seahawks for his 13th NFL season. His career totals include 152 games, 134 starts, 403 tackles, 17.5 sacks, and 50 quarterback hits. He got married in 2023 to a luxury realtor.

    In Round 3 (81st overall), the Giants selected Damontre Moore, a defensive end from Texas A&M. Initially expected to be a top-10 pick, Moore's draft stock fell after a poor combine performance. He played nearly three seasons with the Giants, recording 43 tackles and 8.5 sacks in 42 games. His tenure with the Giants ended due to multiple issues, including fights with teammates and immature behavior. Moore became a journeyman, playing for eight NFL teams, one AAF team, and three CFL teams. His NFL career includes 66 games with 11 sacks. Moore is married with two children.

    In Round 4 (110th overall), the Giants drafted Ryan Nassib, a quarterback from Syracuse. Nassib was considered a potential successor to Eli Manning but failed to impress. He played five games for the Giants, completing 9 of 10 passes for 128 yards and one touchdown. After leaving the Giants, Nassib spent time with the Saints and Jaguars but never saw the field again. He got married in 2016.

    In Round 5 (152nd overall), the Giants chose Cooper Taylor, a defensive back from Richmond. Taylor, the son of former Georgia Tech and Baltimore Colts quarterback Jim Bob Taylor, had his college career disrupted by Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. He played in 16 games for the Giants, recording 15 tackles. Taylor is now an investor at Salem Investment Council.

    In Round 7 (225th overall), the Giants picked Eric Herman, an offensive lineman from Ohio. Herman never played in an NFL regular-season game but spent time on several practice squads. He was suspended for four games in 2014 for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy. He last played for the Colts' practice squad in 2016.

    In Round 7 (253rd overall), the Giants selected Michael Cox, a running back from Massachusetts. Cox played two seasons with the Giants, rushing 26 times for 76 yards and catching five passes for 21 yards. His career ended due to a failed ankle surgery, leading to a lawsuit that awarded him $28.5 million in 2022.

  • Unpacking The NY Giants' Epic 2012 Draft Class & Latest Giants News & Rumors
    Jun 18 2024

    2012 Giants Draft Class

    Round 1 (32nd): David Wilson, RB, Virginia Tech
    The Giants originally wanted Doug Martin, but the Bucs traded ahead of them to select him 31st overall. David Wilson's career, unfortunately, is a story of what could have been, as a neck injury ended a promising start.

    Round 2 (63rd): Reuben Randle, WR, LSU
    Randle played four seasons with the Giants, amassing 938 yards in 2014 and eight touchdowns in 2015. Despite his production, he faced issues such as being benched twice in 2014 for being late to meetings.

    Round 3 (94th): Jayron Hosley, DB, Virginia Tech
    Hosley played four seasons with the Giants, primarily as a right-side corner. His career was hampered by a series of minor injuries and a significant concussion.

    Round 4 (127th): Adrien Robinson, TE, Cincinnati
    Dubbed by Jerry Reese as "the JPP of Tight Ends," Robinson had just 29 catches in four seasons in college but impressed with his workout. He spent three seasons with the Giants but saw minimal action in the first two years.

    Round 4 (131st): Brandon Mosley, Tackle, Auburn
    Mosley initially played at Coffeyville Community College as a defensive end and tight end before converting to tackle at Auburn, where he started at right tackle for two seasons. He played two seasons with the Giants, appearing in 22 games with one start.

    Round 6 (201st): Matt McCants, Tackle, Alabama-Birmingham
    McCants spent his rookie year on the Giants' practice squad and was cut in 2013.

    Round 7 (239th): Markus Kuhn, DT, North Carolina State
    Born and raised in Germany, Kuhn learned about football while on vacation in Florida. He played for the Weinheim Longhorns in Germany before joining NC State.

    2012 Draft Overall
    This draft class was highly disappointing for the Giants. David Wilson showed promise but was derailed by a neck injury, making the pick a poor return on investment. Reuben Randle was the best pick in the draft but was let go despite the Giants' need at receiver.

    Giants Assistant GM Brandon Brown to Attend the Ozzie Newsome General Manager Forum
    The NFL, in partnership with the Black College Hall of Fame, is hosting the Ozzie Newsome General Manager Forum on June 17th and 18th.

  • Reflecting On The NY Giants' 2014 NFL Draft Picks: Where Are They Now?
    Jun 14 2024

    Round 1 (12th): Odell Beckham Jr., WR, LSU
    Odell Beckham Jr. quickly established himself as the second-best wide receiver in Giants history and the most explosive. Named Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2014, he averaged 108.8 yards per game. Over five seasons with the Giants, Beckham played in 56 games, catching 390 passes for 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns. He earned three Pro Bowl selections and two Second-Team All-Pro honors. Since leaving the Giants, Beckham has played 51 games with the Browns, Rams, and Ravens, totaling 176 catches, 2,456 yards, and 15 touchdowns. He recently signed with the Dolphins.

    Round 2 (43rd): Weston Richburg, C, Colorado State
    Richburg played 51 games, including 50 starts, in four seasons with the Giants. He later signed with the 49ers but retired in 2019 at 28 years old after hip surgery. He now resides on a ranch outside of Bowie with his wife and son.

    Round 3 (74th): Jay Bromley, DT, Syracuse
    Hailing from Queens, Bromley overcame significant personal challenges, including a troubled family background. During his four seasons with the Giants, he played 55 games, starting 4, and recorded 80 tackles, 2 sacks, 8 tackles for loss, and 14 quarterback hits. Bromley had a brief stint with the Saints in 2018 and the DC Defenders in 2019. He now runs the Bromley Football Academy in the New Jersey/New York area, focusing on training defensive linemen and linebackers.

    Round 4 (113th): Andre Williams, RB, Boston College
    Born in Poughkeepsie, NY, Williams played 32 games in two seasons with the Giants, rushing for 978 yards and 8 touchdowns. He later played with the Chargers and the Houston Roughnecks of the XFL. Williams is now a self-described serial entrepreneur, living in the Lehigh Valley area of PA, and owns two denim companies, AW Selvedge and DKShin.

    Round 5 (152nd): Nat Berhe, S, San Diego State
    Berhe played 38 games over four seasons with the Giants, though he missed the 2015 season due to a blood clot in his calf. He later joined the Steelers in 2018. Berhe, the first NFL player of Eritrean descent, is now an investor and painter, selling his work through the Nat Berhe Gallery and seeking acting roles on Backstage.

    Round 5 (174th, compensatory): Devon Kennard, LB, USC

  • Big Move: Giants Sign CB Tre Herndon III & Minicamp Practice Report Plus More
    Jun 13 2024

    Wesigned CB Tre Herndon III, also known as Willie Herndon, but called "Tre" since he is the third in his family with that name. Herndon, who stands at 5'11" and weighs 190 lbs, is 28 years old. He was brought in for a workout with the team before securing a contract. An undrafted free agent out of Vanderbilt, Herndon initially signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2018.
    In the 2024 season, Herndon played 16 games, starting 4, and recorded 46 tackles, 9 pass deflections, 1 forced fumble, 1 tackle for loss, and 3 quarterback hits, earning a 70.8 PFF grade. Over his six-year career, all with the Jaguars, he played in 83 games, starting 34. Herndon completed his initial three-year contract with the Jaguars and then signed three consecutive one-year contracts with the team.

    Giants Mini Camp
    Mini camp saw several players sidelined due to injuries. Right tackle Evan Neal (ankle), cornerback Aaron Robinson (knee), and wide receiver/kick returner Gunner Olszewski, injured early in OTAs, missed practice. Tight end Daniel Bellinger did not participate in team periods but insisted he is not injured. Quarterback Daniel Jones didn't take part in the 11-on-11 series out of precaution following his ACL injury last season. Additional injuries during practice included Darius Slayton, Bryce Ford-Wheaton, and Chase Cota.
    During Monday's drills, Daniel Jones received most of the reps at quarterback with the skill players. Offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo focused on combo blocks to build chemistry within the group, working with both tackles and tight ends, while assistant O-line coach James Ferentz worked with guards and centers on moving in-sync during zone runs and combo blocking.
    Evan Neal rode the exercise bike during practice, with head coach Brian Daboll stating that Neal would not practice until training camp next month. Daboll mentioned they’ve “backed off” Neal, who underwent ankle surgery in early January. It remains unknown if he has suffered a setback.
    Chase Cota suffered a fractured collarbone and was carted off the field during mini camp. Recovery time typically ranges from 6 to 12 weeks. Six weeks would put him at the start of training camp, while 12 weeks would put him at the start of the regular season. This injury could make it an uphill battle for Cota, a fringe player, to make the roster.
    Bryce Ford-Wheaton has a shoulder sprain. Recovery time for a grade 1 sprain is a few weeks, but a grade 2 sprain can take several months. He is also recovering from last season’s ACL injury. If it’s a grade 1 sprain, he should be ready for training camp, but if the injury lingers, it could hinder his chances of making the roster.
    Giants Workout Updates
    - OL Kellen Diesch: The 6'7", 300 lbs, 26-year-old offensive lineman, undrafted out of Arizona in 2022, has yet to play a regular season NFL game despite stints with the Dolphins, Bears, Steelers, and Browns.
    - TE Noah Togiai: An undrafted free agent from Oregon State in 2020, Togiai has played 4 NFL games but has yet to record a reception. He has spent most of his career on practice squads with the Colts and Eagles.
    - TE Geor'quarius Spivey: The 6'5", 240 lbs tight end had an inconsistent college career due to injuries and eligibility issues but showed potential during his time at Mississippi State and TCU.

  • Darren Waller Retires & Latest Giants News & Rumors
    Jun 11 2024

    Darren Waller officially informed the Giants of his decision to retire on Sunday. Waller began his NFL journey with the Ravens as a wide receiver after being drafted out of Georgia Tech in the 6th round. His early career was troubled by multiple suspensions due to substance abuse issues. Later the then-Oakland Raiders that Waller was converted to a tight end, and his career took off in 2019 with 1,145 yards, finishing 3rd in the comeback player of the year award. His best season came in 2020, where he posted 107 receptions for 1,196 yards and 9 touchdowns, earning him a Pro Bowl selection. Unfortunately, the last three seasons were plagued by injuries, particularly hamstring issues. The Raiders traded him to the Giants last offseason for a 3rd round pick, and in his lone season with the Giants, he posted 552 yards and 1 touchdown in 12 games. Over his career, Waller played 86 games, starting 63, and amassed 4,124 yards and 20 touchdowns.
    So, why did Darren Waller retire? In March, he told The Athletic, "It's really the idea of signing up for another journey. It's tough, it's long, it requires a lot. And if you're not fully bought into every single thing of the process, it's going to be tough." While his numerous health issues likely played a role, speculation about his divorce from WNBA star Kelsey Plum has also been considered a factor, though he mentioned retiring even before the divorce was publicized. Was it to pursue his music career? Some people have speculated he didn’t want to play with Daniel Jones, but he would have just asked for a trade then.
    Waller’s legacy varies depending on perspective. NFL fans might see him as a player with a short but impressive peak. Ravens fans likely remember him as the one who got away, while Raiders fans might see him as a great player hampered by injuries. Giants fans may view him as a wasted 3rd round pick. However, his story should also be remembered for his charity work and overcoming addiction.
    With Waller's retirement, is the tight end position downgraded? Short answer: yes, but perhaps not as severely as one might think. Theo Johnson has been looking good according to OTA reports, and Daniel Bellinger may also get more chances to shine. This move could allow young players to develop, which might benefit the team in the long run.

    Financially, the Giants gain $11.6M in cap savings this season with $2.5M in dead cap space. Next season, there will be a $4.9M dead cap hit.
    Looking ahead, should the Giants extend Darius Slayton? He’s currently in the last year of his deal with a $7.75M cap number in 2024. Comparable players like Gabe Davis have signed deals around $13M per year. Is Slayton worth that to the Giants, or do they prefer to see how Jalin Hyatt performs this year first?

    There’s also speculation about signing veterans like Stephon Gilmore or Calais Campbell. Gilmore, turning 34 in September, had a solid season with Dallas but might block younger players' development. Campbell, turning 38, could provide depth but similarly might impede younger talent.

    Alternatively, should the Giants wait to see which free agents appear later on? This strategy is risky, but mid-season cuts could provide valuable additions. However, there's no guarantee that impactful players will become available.
