It is very likely that the New York Giants will enter the quarterback market during the 2025 offseason, meaning the NFL Draft could hold the future of the position.
Daniel Jones is expected to be out as the starting quarterback this offseason, allowing the Giants to take on a $22.2 million dead cap hit but save $19.4 million.
Currently holding the second overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Giants should be one of the most likely teams to take a quarterback. And this, even if the class is not as strong as last year.
In the latest predictions from Vinnie Iyer of Sporting News, the Giants took one of the most polarizing numbers in the entire draft.
“Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado (6-2, 215 pounds): Daniel Jones’ roller coaster with coach Brian Daboll continues to descend for periods after limited peaks. Jones’ job and the Giants’ struggles could keep Daboll from returning, but whoever is in charge of the offense would push to replace Jones with Sanders. The Colorado star stands out from other QBs as the most refined pocket passer, one who can fit seamlessly into the feel of the Giants’ youth movement with WR Malik Nabers, RB Tyrone Tracy Jr., TE Theo Johnson “, Iyer wrote.
Sanders seems to be the most polished passer of the group, and having Deion Sanders’ NFL lineage probably means there’s an understanding of what life is like in the league.
Sanders won’t be the consensus QB1 across the board when the offseason rolls around, as Jalen Milroe and Cam Ward are likely to compete for the top spot as well.
The Colorado star has shown plenty of composure and toughness in the pocket, but questions arise about his conscience when it comes to taking too many sacks.
Either way, the Giants will likely be in the market for a quarterback, and this won’t be the last time they’re linked to Sanders.
