NFL players have until 4pm Monday to sign their franchise tags or negotiate new contracts. Few teams may have as much riding on this deadline as the New York Giants.
Paul Schwartz of The New York Post told The Drive with Charlie & Dan on Wednesday that the New York Giants were moments away from a QB contract disaster.
In his first season as head coach of the New York Giants, Brian Daboll was named the NFL's AP Coach of the Year on Thursday. A well deserved honor for the former Buffalo Bills' offensive coordinator, as he transformed a 4-13 mess into a playoff team, with help from his general manager, former Buffalo Bills' assistant GM, Joe Schoen.
A pivotal offseason awaits the New York Giants, and the decisions made by GM Joe Schoen will say a lot about where the team is headed under the new regime.
Daniel Jones has earned the chance to be the New York Giants' QB of the future, but for that to happen, he'll need a new contract, and this is what he's worth.
Brian Daboll pushed Daniel Jones to the limit. Not to make him fail, but to test his ability to lead. Now, the New York Giants are reaping the rewards.
NY Giants' OC Mike Kafka has come under fire for his play-calling, and while he hasn't been perfect, blaming him alone is wrong for Giants' fans to do.
This is no secret. The New York Giants need some offensive production. In week 8, prior to the bye, the Seattle Seahawks held quarterback Daniel Jones to 176 passing yards. That's not an alarmingly low number. However, when the total number of offensive yards totals 225 for the game, then the Giants have an issue they need to address.
New York Giants fans are enjoying their team's incredible turnaround. With a 6-2 record coming out of the bye week, Big Blue fans realize that a playoff birth is more than within reach. That is if the Giants can continue to play above expectations and win the games they "should" win, like against the Texans and then the Lions. If head coach Brian Daboll and company continue to hold serve, Thanksgiving Day at 4:30pm could be an epic holiday battle in Dallas. Who would have thought that at the start of the season??
The Giants didn’t make a trade at the deadline, and I understand why not. They are just not good enough this season to make a big move and give up a lot.
