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. From the game came a few big-time individual performances. Here are three, in no particular order. 3. Daniel Jones […]

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. Following the Giants’ 32-13 win over the Chicago Bears on Friday night, head coach Pat Shurmur said he has […]

The legend of Daniel Jones keeps growing. After a terrific preseason debut last week in which Jones completed all five of his passes for 67 yards and a touchdown, the New York Giants rookie followed that up by going 11-for-14 with 161 yards and a touchdown in a 32-13 win over the Chicago Bears on […]

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. This year, though, Pat Shurmur has remained silent on whether or not Barkley will see the field during the preseason. Via ProFootballTalk: “He’s a valuable player, so we’ll […]

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. Cole. The Raiders selected Townsend, hailing from Florida, with a fifth-round pick in 2018. In 2018, Townsend punted 70 balls for 3,024 yards […]

The New York Giants finally managed to secure their potential franchise quarterback in Daniel Jones with the sixth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Regardless, co-owner John Mara indicated that they will be taking a rather patient approach with his development. The Giants wasted no time in declaring quarterback Eli Manning as the starter […]

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 […]

The New York Giants made a lot of changes that raised some eyebrows, but owner John Mara said that the team needed to make some “drastic changes.” Mara said it was hard for him to see all the talent walk out the door but what the team was doing clearly wasn’t working, so some things […]

No decision-maker in the NFL has received more flak over the past year than Dave Gettleman. Fortunately for the New York Giants’ oft-criticized general manager, though, the one person who actually decides his fate seems pleased with job he’s done – and almost seems to relish his unflinching penchant for drumming up scrutiny. 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 […]

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate had his four-game suspension from the NFL for violating the league’s performance-enhancing substances policy upheld, it was announced on Tuesday. Tate, 31, signed with the Giants to fill a spot in the very vacant wideout corps for the New York/New Jersey franchise. The one-time Pro-Bowler inked a four-year […]

The New York Giants square off with the Chicago Bears on Friday for a preseason week 2 matchup. Although the Giants were one of the worst teams in the NFL last year (and lost Odell Beckham Jr. this offseason), there’s a lot to be excited about when it comes to their future. That was shown […]

After appealing the suspension that was handed down to him earlier in the offseason, New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate will now officially end up having to miss out on the first four games of the 2019 regular season, as the team announced that he lost his appeal to the league. #Giants WR Golden […]

The New York Giants are a one-trick pony on offense. Their entire attack relies on second-year running back Saquon Barkley, and everyone knows it. That’s why head coach Pat Shurmur has decided to sit Saquon during all four preseason games. It seems like a good idea, as Barkley is set to touch the ball over […]

New York Giants coach Pat Shurmur told the media that he has a plan in place for how he will use Saquon Barkley in the preseason if he uses him at all. In the first preseason game, Barkley was a healthy scratch, and that could continue to be the case for the rest of the […]

Last week, New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley retweeted a workout video from Colin Kaepernick in support of the free agent quarterback, and Barkley understands that he may take a hit for it. He just doesn’t care. “If a fan wants to not be a fan of me because I retweet a thing for […]

Much debate has been had about when (or if) rookie quarterback Daniel Jones will start under center for the New York Giants this coming season, and on Tuesday, Giants co-owner John Mara provided a bit of insight into that topic: “I hope Eli has a great year and Daniel never sees the field,” said Mara, […]

There’s debate as to how Eli Manning will adjust to his new circumstances with the New York Giants this season. Now that New York has finally drafted his eventual replacement, will Manning rise to the occasion to play his best football in years and stave off retirement? Or crumble under the mounting pressure made heavier […]

The turnover chain has been something that has taken over college football the last few seasons, and according to New York Giants safety Jabrill Peppers, it has made its way to the NFL. Peppers let out the secret that the Giants have a turnover trophy that is given after each practice to any defensive player […]

New York Giants rookie quarterback had an impressive showing during his preseason debut against the New York Jets last Thursday, completing all five of his passes for 67 yards and a touchdown.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley established himself as one of the NFL’s elite players as a rookie. He has already given a sneak peek into what is potentially to come heading into the 2019 NFL season. Barkley showed plenty of promise as an every-down back last season. He is solidifying that notion after […]

New York Giants rookie cornerback DeAndre Baker suffered a non-contact left knee sprain while participating in the team’s drills during Sunday’s practice, per The Record’s Art Stapleton. Reportedly, there is “nothing definitive yet” on the MRI conducted today or on the severity of the injury, according to Stapleton. Baker was among the Giants’ crop of […]

Over the past few seasons, there have been more and more cases involving players abusing the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy. The New York Giants’ Michael Thomas wants “less gray area” in the policy amid Golden Tate’s suspension. The Giants veteran safety is a Vice President of the NFL Executive Board. Thomas believes there should be […]

On April 25th, there were boos echoing throughout Nashville, Tennessee when the New York Giants selected Daniel Jones with the sixth overall pick.

New York Giants coach Pat Shurmur has made it clear all offseason that Eli Manning is the teams starting quarterback and even though Daniel Jones had a strong first preseason showing, Shurmur has made it clear that nothing has changed. “Listen, we’re not going to play the what-ifs,” Shurmur said, via Ralph Vacchiano of SNY. […]

Much has been said about former Duke quarterback Daniel Jones and the New York Giants’ front office that drafted him at No. 6 overall.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones looked fantastic during his preseason debut on Thursday night, completing all five of his throws for 67 yards and a touchdown in what ended up being a 31-22 win over the New York Jets.

New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones looked stellar in his preseason debut on Thursday night, completing all five of his passes for 67 yards and a touchdown during his team’s 31-22 victory over the New York Jets.

Being an undrafted rookie is already an uphill battle to have put on you. And then having a death of a best friend in an incident that injured you as well is something that will make that battle even more difficult. That is what Corey Ballentine had to go through as he went into the […]

The New York Giants were lambasted for taking Daniel Jones with the sixth overall pick in the NFL Draft back in April, but it’s beginning to look like the Giants may have made a good decision. Jones has looked terrific throughout the offseason, and in his preseason debut on Thursday night against the New York […]

The New York Giants continue to score touchdowns in their week one preseason game against the New York Jets. Early in the second quarter, third-string quarterback Kyle Lauletta found wide receiver Russell Shepard for a 51-yard touchdown.

Daniel Jones was not greeted very kindly after the New York Giants decided to take him with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Fans weren’t happy and the media let the young quarterback hear it. Despite all of his critics, Jones is focusing on what he can control on the field. […]
