If the Giants can net $10 million in cap savings by unloading Eli and signing another vet, Eli will be released.
Maybe..

Phillip McCrevice?
Eli

It would surprise me either way. I'm not predicting it and wouldn't be surprised to see him gone but just saying there is still a decent chance Eli comes back for another season. Nothing is decided at this point so it's pure speculation for anyone guessing.

Not with that contract
First snap of the season?  
81_Great_Dane : 11/4/2018 5:35 pm : link
Probably a veteran QB not on the team now. Not Sam Bradford. Maybe a reclamation project like Jameis Winston (Ugh) or Teddy Bridgewater, or a guy on the way down like Joe Flacco (Ugh), or a bridge guy like Tyrod Taylor (Ugh).

Starter week 9? Probably a young QB who hasn't played a regular-season down the NFL as of now. Maybe Lauletta, maybe a rookie. If they see a prospect they love on someone else's roster, maybe they make a trade.

Pretty sure it won't be Davis Webb.

It's not going to be Eli. I know that much.
My picks  
superspynyg : 11/4/2018 5:47 pm : link
Fran Tarkenton
Phil Simms
Kyle Shurmur
Eli  
jtgiants : 11/4/2018 5:48 pm : link
Or a rookie. They won't do a journeyman. Mark it down

next year is going to be a wasted kurt warner type year. So maybe the year after as well.

Glad to hear. Not interested in any stopgaps. We'll have high picks this year and next - no need to bother wth other vets at this point.
Herbert  
AcidTest : 11/4/2018 6:04 pm : link
if the Giants have the #1 pick.
If it is Eli...  
Tesla : 11/4/2018 6:06 pm : link
then they damn well better force him to take $10 million + pay cut. Giants have ALL the leverage here.
Eli  
Hilary : 11/4/2018 6:12 pm : link
No pay cut.Giants trade down and use multiple picks to rebuild the line.Herbert will be no better than Eli with current line.A lot of QB will play well with a decent line Beckham and Barkley.
Hilary  
joeinpa : 11/4/2018 6:43 pm : link
Will be no better than Eli, but he would have a chance to be there for the next 15 years. What don't you get there.

If Eli is there next season in any capacity except the Kurt Warner role for the nex Eli, Gettleman should be fired.
Bridgewater

If Eli decides to play his last year  
Giant John : 11/4/2018 7:29 pm : link
I expect it will be him. Even if they draft the big time QB.
Lauletta  
Les in TO : 11/4/2018 7:53 pm : link
Will be the starter on opening day.

If he doesn’t get pulled over on the way to the stadium first.
I'd be open to Bridgewater  
Leg of Theismann : 11/5/2018 1:30 am : link
Foles is one I hadn't even though of. That would actually be interesting.
I think we get  
cjac : 11/5/2018 7:39 am : link
one more year of Eli while our draft pick sits the bench
It's not the additional year of Eli that would bother me  
jcn56 : 11/5/2018 7:43 am : link
although I can't imagine anything would change materially to make the situation any better, and seeing him take another year of beatings doesn't rank high on my entertainment meter...

It's the $20M they'd pay him next year. That's cap space that could be used to make the team better, both short and long term. Bringing him back would be a mistake, but that's the one statistical category that nobody can beat the Giants in these days, making mistakes.

i hope you're right, i think its time to move on
Eli or Lauletta  
Eli Wilson : 11/5/2018 7:49 am : link
Eli if he decides to come back.

Lauletta if he doesn't or if Lauletta gets to play this year and shows something.

I think this is true even if the Giants go QB on round one this year.
It won't be Eli  
UberAlias : 11/5/2018 8:42 am : link
The writing is on the wall, Eli will retire after this season. Eli doesn't want to play in another uniform and the team finally realizes what they should have seen a year ago that it is time to move on. They have to know they are shattering his legacy by throwing him out there.
The recent comments from Archie is all I need to know  
UberAlias : 11/5/2018 8:45 am : link
You think Archie made those comments without any conversations about what is ahead? He's too savvy for that. Most likely the team acknowledged this is probably it and everyone agrees the best way is to present it as Eli's decision.
Eli  
Alex_Webster : 11/5/2018 8:47 am : link
They have gone this far, he will finish his contract here.
Scott  
HoustonGiant : 11/5/2018 10:37 am : link
Brunner
Foles, Bridgewater, or Tyrod  
Pete in MD : 11/5/2018 10:44 am : link
with a first-round pick watching from the bench. Eli either retires or is released.
We should revisit this in the fall but I am going  
greek13 : 11/5/2018 11:55 am : link
To go with Foles. And unless Herbert bowls them over I am going to predict that we trade back and accumulate pics to fix the offense of line in the defensive backfield as first two priorities -
Although game changing pass rushers are too hard to turn down sometimes
WTF - Foles?!  
jcn56 : 11/5/2018 12:11 pm : link
Some stupid team is going to overpay for him. Let's hope it's not the Giants.

If Eli's gone after this season, it should be a cheap QB - either Lauletta or the cheapest FA they can get their hands on. Draft a QB, let him sit on the bench until he's ready.
Primed and ready for a return  
Matt in SGS : 11/5/2018 1:37 pm : link
Bridgewater or Brissett  
Drewcon40 : 11/5/2018 1:41 pm : link
I think I have read or heard that both Belichick and Parcells are really high on Brissett.
