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

And Washington takes Maye? Not a fan of Daniels. Is JJ the backup plan?
I would think yes.
Why would we give up all that draft capital to move up to #3 for JJM? That's crazy.
we don't have a QB why would trade for a WR and then paying him a shit ton before we have a QB make any sense.
Just draft a cheap young WR with 6 if you really want one.

why is that "crazy" if they think he is the guy, then he is the guy... maybe you and JS dont share the same opinion on JJ

To ensure some team doesn’t trade with AZ I suppose. I’m still skeptical that NE misses out on drafting a QB after trading away Mac Jones.

This would be a page out of Buffalo's playbook landing Stefon Diggs so Josh Allen had someone good to throw to. Schoen is obviously very familiar with that move. They gave up a 2020 1st (#20), 2020 5th, 2020 6th, and a 2021 4th. Jefferson is better than Diggs ever was/is, so a similar package using #6 overall would be expected.

well... for starters he is the best WR in football and still very young lol...
ANY QB could benefit from that. shit tommy fucking cutlets would play better with JJ wide.
Also, if it DID include swaps, maybe giants like Nix/penix and look to make another move to secure nix if they dont think he is there at 11....
If we are targeting Maye, I think we would have a deal in place with NE but can’t execute the deal if Maye is gone.
Quote:
Good chance we’re going to see Denver or Vikings trade up to 4. So could also be that. There’s a lot out there about that.
As Sy has pointed out a number of times, a team outside the top 10 trading up into the 3rd or 4th spot would be unprecedented. The Giants should be able to top any Denver or Minny offer by virtue of having higher picks. Unless Minny’s throwing JJ in the trade…
totally agree on this but if it was JJ... a QB is still possible this draft was my point...
that being said, i dont think its JJ
I have said several times both here on to friends if a team in top 3 is selling, giants are buying. they know they need a new face at Q

Most massive move ups for QBs fail. Fifty percent of first round QBs bust.
The player picked at #6, plus the players we could have picked with the picks we traded, will very likely produce a better return than McCarthy.
After signing Jones to that ridiculous contract, Schoen hasn't earned the right to trade that amount of draft capital for any QB.
But do I think it will happen? Yup, I do. There is too much "internet chatter" that it will to make me believe it won't. But I hope it doesn't.

not heard myself yet.
That would mean that Schoen is 100% sure the Commanders are going with Daniels at 2. Seems like a huge leap of faith with more than a month to go...

I agree with the bold action..trading up for the QB you've identified as your favorite. Personally, I would hope it's not for JJM but, I'm just a fan and don't do this football thing for a living. If JJM is their choice, time will tell whether they got it right or not.
The way BBI asshats were on Burns 70+ hours before anyone else, I'd agree.
So these are internet/twitter rumors, not BBIAssHats right?

Agreed. That's why this speculation always came down to Washington's pick, IMO.
maybe they have an equal grade on daniels and maye? or maybe maye and JJ and they dont care what washington does. i mean the only way you move to 3 NOW is
1. you have an equal grade on daniels and maye
2. you have an equal grade on maye and JJ and dont care what wash does
3. you know EXACTlY who wash takes

GoDeep. BBI.
It would be nice to have multiple confirmations

GoDeep13 mentioned he ha heard something.
Stay on the reservation people.
Are you saying you're not a fan of Daniels or you don't think NYG is? Either way, all signs are pointing to Daniels at 2 right now anyways

I don’t think Schoen and Daboll agree with you that they don’t have a QB

The Giants want to make them an offer that makes it hard for NE to say no, so yes it could very well include this years 1 and 2 and next years 1.

He's right there at the top of BBI asshats. If there was an asshat HOF, he'd be in it!

interesting to see so many comments and predictions.
Part of me regrets even posting this, but when the posts were followed by the Hyatt post, I was drawn in.
And just to be clear- Wes Steinberg is a fraud and NO- this has nothing to do with anything he says.
At this point, you would think that some beat writer or national writer would have posted something to add credibility, but so far nothing.
I will leave this post up until Noon, but then it will be gone. I guess, if nothing else, it got a lot of traffic to Eric's site.
In case you missed it, within this post I mentioned two things that are factual:
1. Our new OL Jermaine Eluemunor actually posted that he will be in town today (guessing it will be similar to Burns yesterday).
2. NFL writer Aaron Wilson posted that the Giants are trying to sign DB Chase Lucas of the Lions. Lucas is considered one of the best ST gunners.
Y28. Your instincts are right. Got word something big is in the work. Schoen is pushing his chips to the center.
I hope NYG go to #1. 3 would be fine too, but I hope it's for Caleb. Whatever works.
Was thinking if the Giant come away this draft with their highly coveted young stud QB, Schoen can quietly boast he has a defense with 4 legit stars in the front 7, a somewhat talented and young secondary with plenty of upside, (granted we need a safety at least for depth) an improved OL and a franchise young cost controlled QB. Not a bad run since 2021.
ideally nyg could get back a 2025 3rd or 4th too but either way i think this a deal that gets NE thinking if they dont have a QB3 they love.

Yep, a premise of making it hard to say no. It would be pricey, but that's the point of being aggressive NOW.

About the FO making draft trades?
He wouldn't, but I believe that's why some speculated about Hooker. Hooker was his QB in college so Hyatt would likely get wind if Hooker was going to be dealt here. But it seems to me Hyatt tweet is incompatible with rumors of a HUGE deal.
He'd have knowledge if he was involved in it. He could be part of the package going somewhere

It has to be an overpay as NE has the same need for a QB as the Giants do.

There could also be some agent gossip, like if his agent is the same as Maye's.
I don't fully understand it, but it does seem to happen a lot. Last year it happened with Carolina around this time, 2021 with SF, and in 2018 with the Jets as you mentioned
Is it possible the Bears re-assess their position given that Fields probably has more value to them than obviously the rest of the league.
They can get a haul from NYG including a future 1. They would still be positioned at 6 and 9 to make out like bandits this year. They get more time with Fields without any additional financial commitment to him and there's still the chance they wind up with JJ, Nix or Penix this year, or they are loaded for next year's QB class.
Maybe he is going to pic up his new house “soon”, maube he is going to propose to his girlfriend “soon”. Maybe his new TV is arriving “soon”
“Soon” could mean any damn thing.
