Bears and Jags, to me, make sense more than the others. In PIT he'd just be a bridge to Ben coming back from injury, or an early draft pick. MIN would have to be totally throwing Cousins in the trash to bring in Eli. BUF doesn't make sense at all...he'd be in the same position as here.
But with Allen's playing style and the amount of hits he takes...they may want a stronger security blanket should Allen go down. Because the rest of that roster is REALLY good
Vikings would make the most sense. Bills I could see because their QB has struggled with injuries. Bears also with a great defense.
I would think any team would want him for one reason...they believe their team will be in the playoffs and why not have someone who is made some magic before.
They are in the playoff hunt
Their QB is very physical and has already sustained a concussion
Their defense is good enough to win without the QB needing to make plays.
The Carolina connection with McDermott/Gettleman
Minshew has played really well and the fans have gone nuts over him.
That is how you know its bullshit. This guy can't even make up a credible rumor. Foles is back in two weeks and Minshew has played well. What the hell do they need Eli for?

But the "beauty" of spreading a rumor like this is that even if the Giants denied it, some people would still think they had not choice BUT to deny it.
So this guy gets a ton of clicks and at least for the short term, nobody can prove him wrong.
not true, but the Bears make the most sense given their defense. The Bills are another possibility for the reasons Sy notes. Allen takes a lot of hits. I don't see the Steelers. They are not a playoff team, and just traded their first round pick next year.
My guess is that Eli would only even consider waving his no trade clause to go to a team that had a decent chance of making the playoffs.
Makes sense and if Eli truly wants to play then I think
he would accept a trade deal .If the Giants
could get like a 5th round pick maybe I have no idea
but we have Tanney and playoffs are out of the question
at this point . If a deal is to be had take it .

If you're not sold on the Ravens (I'm not yet), and the Steelers would have beat them last Sunday if not for a horrible roughing the passer call, the AFC North is a poor division right now. And aside from the Bengals, everyone still has a reasonable chance. So the Steelers are far from out of it...

The division is poor, especially after the Browns were taken to the woodshed by the 49ers on Monday night. But I still think Baltimore wins that division.
Cant say whether what he is saying has any legs or not...who knows...but I am familiar with Sileo. He is an ex-Miami Hurricane DL from back in the day. He used to host a morning radio show when I live in FL 10-15 years ago. Absolutely could not stand that guy. Havent missed him for a second, or even thought about him at all until seeing this topic. Not even sure where he is now. Basically my impression of him was a blowhard, throw shit against the wall type, yell louder than the next guy. Which, thinking about the current sports media landscape, means im sure he is doing quite well for himself somewhere...fits right in!
How does that affect our cap with regards to his salary - does a pro-rated portion of his base salary for the next eleven games come off our books right away?

The Ravens are a strange team this year. Who would have guessed their achilles heel is their D, which is in the bottom third for PPG allowed. Their secondary stinks right now...
I don’t see how the Jaguars would have any interest. Â
Minshew has thrown 9 TDS and 1INT with a 7.8 YPA and he’s five games into his pro career. Simply amazing for a low round rookie. If I were the Jags, I wouldn’t even reinsert Foles into the lineup. They may have their future QB right there.
And the guy is a social phenomenon. The team has really lucked out.

most of those teams make no sense. Maybe Bears and Steelers given injuries, but the rest? no way
My thoughts as well. They both make a lot of sense. I’d actually take Eli over a healthy Trubisky this year and that’s a win now team.
But it would take Eli a few weeks to learn the playbook and it’s just really hard to make that transition mid season. That’s even if he wanted to. I just don’t see it.
what team is better with Eli playing QB. Maybe the Steelers if Rudolph is missing significant time? I suppose if some team feels they need a better backup, but I don't see a lot to be gained trading for a 2nd string QB. Not to mention it revives the Eli QB controversy for the new team. He's just as useful as the backup on the Giants if god forbid Jones was injured.
if it happens, that 11/24 game would get ratings equal to the super bowl
Bears and Jags, to me, make sense more than the others. In PIT he'd just be a bridge to Ben coming back from injury, or an early draft pick. MIN would have to be totally throwing Cousins in the trash to bring in Eli. BUF doesn't make sense at all...he'd be in the same position as here.
I don't know if the rumor is true

...Eli over Kirk Cousins.

Perhaps they called a few weeks ago.
The Steelers make sense actually. They are down to their 3rd string QB.

don't you mean: moves to NY?

Eli is as good, if not better IMO, as even a healthy Trubiski.
He doesn't have to uproot his family. The Bears are locked and loaded for a run.
Just consider it a two-three month business trip. Retire a Giant at the end of the season either way, but get to play on his way out.
Agreed. Good OL and they could support an immobile, pocket QB...

Mariota isn’t winning that team shit.
New Englandy setup w Vrabel.
18-0-er teaming up with Eli would be something.

Arians/Eli would be an interesting pairing.

Jay did report something over the weekend. Not a report per se but one of his "I wouldn't be surprised if..." statements
