New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones recently found himself as the subject of some criticism from Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield.

Could Daniel Jones actually start Week 1 under center for the New York Giants? Giants head coach Pat Shurmur does not seem completely opposed to the possibility.

The New York Giants are coming off a 2018 campaign in which they won just six games and ended up with the sixth overall pick in the NFL Draft, which they used to draft quarterback Daniel Jones.

Anything to be the starter, right? On Thursday, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning decided to test his chops as a blocker.

Dallas Cowboys pass-rusher DeMarcus Lawrence hasn’t gotten in much practice time this offseason, but he doesn’t expect to be rusty when the season opens.

In a league where passing reigns king, it might seem a bit surprising that veteran wide receiver Michael Crabtree is still out on the open market.

The New York Giants will fly to Cincinnati this week to face the Bengals in their third preseason game of 2019.

Many have already written off New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones.

The acquisition of former New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has generated plenty of hype for the Cleveland Browns going into the 2019 NFL season.

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate suffered a concussion during the team’s 32-13 victory over the Chicago Bears on Friday night.

The New York Giants wrapped up Week 2 of their preseason with a commanding 32-13 win over the Chicago Bears. The win put them up to 2-0, as they previously beat in-town rivals New York Jets.

The New York Giants should have one of their weapons available for Week 1 of the 2019 NFL season. Wide receiver Sterling Shepard should be ready to play for the season’s debut, said head coach Pat Shurmur on Sunday, via ESPN. Shepard suffered a fractured left thumb earlier into training camp. Multiple reporters noticed that […]

New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones has put together a couple of very impressive preseason performances to start his NFL career, but don’t expect him to supplant Eli Manning as the starter any time soon.

Pat Shurmur and the New York Giants have been reserved on what they plan to do with Saquon Barkley during the preseason. In a wise decision, Barkley will not suit up against the Chicago Bears in the Giants’ second preseason contest, per Kimberly Jones. Barkley will watch from the sidelines for the second consecutive week. […]

There are some who think the New York Giants have waited, and are waiting, too long to move on from Eli Manning but co-owner John Mara doesn’t think that has been the case. Mara has still continued to praise Manning the last few years even though he has struggled but he doesn’t think his sentimentality […]

Saquon Barkley’s preseason last year during his rookie season was cut short after the New York Giants took precaution following a hamstring injury to their prized rusher.

The New York Giants have claimed punter Johnny Townsend off waivers, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. The Oakland Raiders released Townsend on Tuesday, giving the reins of the position to rookie A.J.

Golden Tate lost his appeal of a suspension by the NFL for a violation of the league’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs. Just because the New York Giants receiver will miss the first four games of the season and the paychecks that come with them, though, hardly means he’s done protecting his good name. Tate revealed […]

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is going to be the team’s starter entering 2019, but he’s not guaranteed much beyond that. Rookie Daniel Jones is going to be breathing down his neck, and Manning could be replaced at just about any time. Giants owner John Mara, who has stood by Manning repeatedly, made that […]

Many have bemoaned the fact that the New York Giants traded wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. not even a year after signing him to a six-year contract extension, but former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason thinks there was a reason for it. Esiason told Ryan Dunleavy of NJ Advance Media that he thinks Beckham essentially quit […]

No decision-maker in the NFL has received more flak over the past year than Dave Gettleman.

In a […]

New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman’s offseason has brought critics far wide. From his bold (perhaps an understatement) moves that include trading fan-favorite Odell Beckham Jr., drafting Daniel Jones at No. 6 overall — to the dismay of his fanbase –, and not resigning former All-Pro Landon Collins to his adamant defense of his […]
