back-up for Eli Manning, do the Giants try to get some value back for Ryan Nassib by trading him for a second or third round pick? I could see this scenario playing out during the draft based on how the draft eligible QBs come off the board. Maybe we could get a mid to bottom 2nd round pick for Nassib? Many people thought he had first round talent coming out last year. This would seem to make the most sense to me if the Giants still have confidence in Eli getting the job done for a few more years. What say you all???
Maybe he can blow off the doors this pre-season and perhaps pick up late round pick value, but for now, he's not worth anything to anyone but the Giants (and who knows how they really feel about him even).
If that occurs, we might be able to package him for a higher selection in 2015 with a team willing to gamble with his potential.
Every single team in this league passed on him in the 2nd and 3rd rd of last years draft.. but now, all of a sudden, after showing nothing in preseason and not playing a single down of NFL football or doing anything that could have possibly made his stock rise, a team is going to be willing to give up the 2nd or 3rd rd pick they decided he wasn't worth last year in order to acquire him?
Makes sense.

Stop being reasonable
What don't you get? He's on a 1 yr deal, most likely at vet minimum, to compete for the backup job and be a camp arm. If he sucks, then he gets cut with no harm to the cap.
He's here with a chance to redeem himself and compete with Painter. Think Nassib's gonna be here too.

This. And I supported the pick.
I don't get it either.
Don't know if it will work out that way, but it is not as ridiculous as some on this thread make it seem.
Nassib couldv'e been drafted last year and was passed on and has done nothing to improve his stock. Freeman was free to be had and he signed here on a 1 years deal. Giants are going to camp with these QBs and will let battle it out for backup...edge Freeman.
Really, it is. What has happened to make him 1-2 rounds more valuable than he was a year ago? (Spoiler alert - nothing).
Although Coughlin likes 2 QBs maybe the team keeps 3 this year because of Eli's ankle and because we lost so many guys this offseason and have a lot of roster spots to fill.
Many thought we wasted a 4th and 6th round pick on him, and also wasted a roster spot by being forced to carry 3 qb's....
If he shows nothing in preseason and camp, Reese has a lot of explaining to do....
why would the Bills do that when they drafted EJ Manuel. If they wanted Nassib they could have gotten him last year..
Granted, nassib hasn't even proven he can piss straight yet, but you don't think a gm out there might like a nassib who is even just 5% more nfl ready than some rookie? Nassib is quite possibly one good exhibition game away from raising his stock. One game.
Again nassib has to show something but GMs definitely place a value on qbs that at least practiced on an nfl roster for some time . That's still more experience than a collegiate. Some gm might have wanted this kid in round 4-5 last year. He might still want him today.
