I typically don’t pay any attention to internet chatter relating to the Giants.
But tonight I have seen 3 different posters (all with prior occasional accuracy) predicting an NFL team will be making a HUGE announcement tomorrow.
This was followed up by another Giants fan contacting me and showing me a 4th poster predicting a similar major move and actually mentioning it involved the Giants.
For those of you that have read my posts over many years know this is NOT the type of things I speculate on.
However, minutes ago, Giant WR Jalyn Hyatt actually just posted:
“soon…..”
I will not provide the handles of the 4 internet posters and provide them any more notoriety or activity
I can’t say that there is “fire” but I must admit all this has me smelling “smoke”- enough that I thought it was worthy of mention on BBI
The only thing I can think of, is Jared Goff hetting a long term extension and maybe the Lions are open to trading for Hendon Hooker... Which I called ridiculous. The Hyatt-Hooker combo at Tenn is what I am obv going on.
If so, I would have to eat major crow for oo pooing the idea another poster raised in the last few weeks.
Or if he knew someone involved? I wonder..

That's the only thing I could think too.

Agree with the idea that if Hyatt knew may involve Hooker. But would this really qualify as major move as op states? Idk maybe. Call me disappointed if thats what it is.
That would be nuts, but I would be surprised. OP said it involved the Giants though?

Missed that. Was going off of "predicting an NFL team will be making a HUGE announcement tomorrow."
BAM 😂

I wonder how the reaction is regarding this. There are rumors about Justin Fields & Giants.
He was drafted in the 3rd round (68th overall) by Detroit in the 2023 draft.
Detroit will then ask for the 6th overall. Schoen should laugh out loud.
Detroit will then ask for the Giants 2025 1st rounder. Schoen should chuckle.
Detroit will then ask for the 47th overall. Schoen will counter with a 2024 4th rounder.
Detroit will then ask for the Giants 3rd rounder. Schoen should say "Deal"!

If it's jersey related I'll be annoyed
Getting Hooker wouldn’t be an all caps ‘huge’ level deal (though maybe to Hyatt it would). I wouldn’t even say Fields would be that big either.

He said "major announcement" which would be Goff signing like a 200 million dollar deal.... Maybe Amon Ra extrnsion as wel.
Giants side of it... They trade their 3rd (2 places from where Detroit took Hooker last year at 70 vs 68) or 4th rounder (to make up for the lost year) to Detroit for Hooker.
Hooker was drafted as insurance for Goff continuing to play well. Goff was pretty awesome last year. Lions just traded a 3rd away for Carlton Davis.
Its got a lot of stink. I would take Hooker for a 3rd even more for a 4th.
Despite all the clickbait out there JS seems to keep a lid on his real intentions.
Almost nothing would surprise me.
I would take a shot on Hooker for at most a 3rd. His injury history is troubling, but he was phenomenal his last year in Tenn.
Also, I don't think it would be a stretch to say the Giants might like Hooker better than McCarthy, Nix or Penix.

Agreed on all. Hooker was a gamer, has had a full year to recover. But he is not far from Penix as far as injury concern. A 3rd or 4th with Lock backing up is a great scenario for him and we can just pick the best WR in 1st. Buys us like 3 years if we need it. If he gets hurt again, minumal investment.
Also, I don't think it would be a stretch to say the Giants might like Hooker better than McCarthy, Nix or Penix.
If we got Hooker, I wouldn't think it would eliminate the possibility of still taking a qb. We could roll with a rookie, lock and hooker after cutting dj or cut lock and roll with the same +dj..wouldn't be a bad idea with how tough it is to find good young qbs
For all I know, perhaps Hyatt’s wife/ friend is in labor….
2 things I did see posted tonight that are real:
1. Eluemunor posted he will be at the Stadium tomorrow
2. NFL reporter Aaron Wilson says the Giants are trying to sign Lions DB Chase Lucas, considered one of the leagues top ST gunners
Let's see what happen tomorrow.

Thanks either way. Although, if one of your sources said "there's going to be a huge announcement" and that "the Gisnts are involved" I don't think that computes. Lol.
I also don't think the Lions are that desperate to trade a guy they got around the same spot as last year for the same pick a year later. It would prob be something like the Giants 47, and a 4th for Hooker and the Lions 4th/5th
Either way, fun to speculate.
“Hooker Gives Penix Hard Competition At QB”
Also, I don't think it would be a stretch to say the Giants might like Hooker better than McCarthy, Nix or Penix.
I agree. NFL talent evaluators don't have the recency bias that fans do. Hooker is healed, he has a year of getting acclimated to the NFL, and he has real franchise QB upside. Big arm, prototype size, and can move. If Detroit would do a deal on him, I'd expect Daboll and Schoen would love Hooker's overall profile. The fact that he has familiarity with Hyatt is a bonus. If you can swing a deal for Hooker for #47, which I don't think is too rich, you can then go after Nabers or Odunze at 6. Hooker's non-injury grade would probably at least be in the neighborhood of Maye and McCarthy. Remember Hooker in 11 games in 2022...3100+ yards passing, 69.6% completion, 27 TDs vs just 2 INTs, and ran for over 400 yards and 5 more scores. If you can't get excited about his potential, I'm not sure if you have a pulse. I do think that perhaps a 2025 late day 2 or early day 3 pick might have to be included in the deal to get it done, and still, I would do it.
Diff than Maye, more like Daniels (better thrower), would be what we want McCarthy to become minus the injuries.
He has a helluva a lot of experience and he was lethal for Tenn. He can rifle it and was a legit 1st round consideration going into last draft before the injury.
Joe Milton who took over for him might have the biggest arm, size and athleticism profile in this draft. He couldnt do with that Tenn offense that Hooker could. Hes as good a prospect as Penix but more mobile.
People hear “major announcement” and the -first- thing people think of is Hendon Hooker? Not trading up to the first pick? Or the second pick? Or a major star? But…Hendon Hooker? The fuck?

Hooker trade would not be the major announcement. It would be Goff signing a deal bigger than what Cousins just signed.

Milton has tools but is a major project. One read passer who really, and I mean really struggles when that read isn't there.
The less surprising news would be Fields to NYG. And again, I still wouldn't hate it. I think Daboll wants to get a QB with some tools that he can refine. Fields has that. If you think Fields is at his ceiling, then it's a troubling notion. I don't necessarily think that's true, though. Fields has real deep ball touch, and we all know about the ability to make plays happen with his legs. For Fields, Daboll will probably try to tailor the offense around his strengths while trying to refine the more advanced quarterbacking elements of his game. The upshot is that Fields probably costs less than Hooker. But you look at Fields, he only had one year with really one bonafide weapon in D.J. Moore.
It's a really super interesting proposition to think about. What could Daboll do with Justin Fields, Hyatt, a Nabers or Odunze, then perhaps Trey Benson in the 2nd round, or Blake Corum in the 3rd?
If it doesn't pan out, you still have Lock and should have ammo with next year's picks to pivot... Shedeur Sanders? Maybe Carson Beck? You can make an argument that while the QB crop might not be as deep at the top, the ceiling is at least comparable, maybe even with safer floors.
The more I think about it, the more I like an unconventional play that brings in an unrefined talent such as Hooker or Fields with the insurance of making a play at the top of the draft next year for a QB.
I have issues with Maye, McCarthy, Penix, and Nix...even Daniels, who I really like, but for the latter it's so unlikely he'll be in play for NYG. If you want a guy who has a good chance to actually make some noise in 2024 for this team...I feel better about that guy being Fields or Hooker than I do about anyone in this class outside of Daniels.
And Williams? Not in play anyway, most likely, and if he was, I'd steer clear...no divas here.
If you're Daboll, and Fields, Hooker, and Maye, McCarthy, Penix, and Nix are all potential options, how far apart are these guys? Do you, the QB guru, have similar confidence in the 2 former QBs to get great outcomes from as you do one of these rookies, who will be more expensive in terms of draft capital?

I read it major announcement and the Giants were involved … as something major happens and that means it affects the Giants on the side. That would imply Hooker. Don’t think we are the major announcement right?

I think that's because of the Hyatt post. And it would be a major move. Just look at the tools. A year ago, he was a prospect with a torn ACL but a cannon of an arm at 6'3" nearly 220 lbs with 10.5" hands. Why wouldn't you be intrigued with what this kind of player could become under Daboll's tutelage? Physically, his profile is better than McCarthy, Daniels, or Nix. He's more athletic than Maye.
I think it's a longshot because if I'm Detroit, why would I not want to keep Hooker another season to develop him with Jared Goff entering the final year of his deal? The only answer is that maybe they think they can draft a difference maker with the extra 2nd that would put them over the top.
But even then, if you do this, you are locked into Goff and you're extending him, which may be their thought process anyway. But they have nobody but Hooker behind Goff, so they would need to sign someone. But Hooker without that injury goes at least a round higher last year, putting him at latest in that late first, early 2nd round status. This is not a QB that is without compelling traits.
But given the situation, if there really is smoke to this, I think Fields is more likely if the Giants pivot away from this rookie class.
McCarthy sitting there at 6 is even questionable when I could give up a day 2 for Hooker who I really liked last year.
No it doesn't make sense
Really just a giess based on Hyatt's tweet. I would be way more surprised if it happened.
Whatever, I just ran with a guess.
