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
I know it sucks because it is huge news, but to keep these guys sharing stuff we need to be reasonable with the expectations of what they share.
I take it you have some inside contacts?
GoDeep didn't mention any sort of timeline either so I'm not sure where the whole "it's happening today" came from
other asshats seem more tapped into NYG themselves.
FWIW Joe Schoen was personally at a few UNC games and talking to the coaches and staff specifically about Maye.
Probably just doing due diligence but I don't know how many Michigan or LSU games JS attended.

given the Brian Burns trade?
Slightly surprised, but the odds of Thibodeaux seeing a second contract here probably went down with the Burns deal.
They can get out of the Burns deal after 3 years, they also can keep Thibs for 3. They can pick 1 then or if both are playing well you still have a QB on a rookie deal..
The Giants love to pay multiple defensive attackers. They did it in the 80s. Did it in the 00s. They will do it again if the players are worthy. At one point the Giants were paying big bucks to Osi, Tuck, Kiwi and Canty and Bernard. Then they drafted JPP in round 1. They were also fresh off paying Strahan and guys like Robbins.
If Thibs delivers they will keep him.
Good catch, I had the same thought. Biggest question to me is how much does NE like Maye? If at all?
My above comment was supposed to say Houston “didn’t” trade up to get Stroud and didn’t have a high salary QB on the roster.

It makes no sense.
There were rumors that some within the organization want to trade back and accumulate a bunch of future draft picks/capital. They want to be able to have the future freedom to target who they want. While I get your point, I get the other point too. This is year 1 of the new regime so if you were going to accumulate future picks then this is the year to do it. They want to play with a full stack.
There is such a thing as getting too cute though. They are in just as much need of a QB as the NYG are robbie, if not more. They're starting their rebuild. What better way to do it then with a QB to compliment the new HC and de facto GM Eliot Wolf (son of Ron).

+1.
Fair, did he allude to anything happening TODAY though?
My above comment was supposed to say Houston “didn’t” trade up to get Stroud and didn’t have a high salary QB on the roster.
It’s irrelevant that the giants have a high salary QB on the roster. He’s gone within the next 12 months
No. That’s a penalty assessed to the Eagles, not awarded to the Giants

If you get a great QB no amount is too much. If he turns into a pro bowler nobody will look back and complain about an extra first round pick.

He then quickly backtracked when pressed, stating he was just referring to info that’s already out there about trying to move up. He’s full of it.
yup.
Ok, but to be fair, if they give it up and DON'T get the stud QB a la Carolina last year, then what?

Then you take another swing in two years.

"Fat drunk and stupid is now way to go thru life son."
My sense is they have been talking for weeks in what NE might be willing to take and perhaps the answer from NE has been not interested. The latest information last/night today may suggest that the Giants are going all in an offer that would make even harder for NE to say no.
If their decision is still no, at least the Giants tried and then can move onto their next draft plan, whether that's try to guarantee a 4th QB with a trade to AZ or LA, or sit tight at 6.

I agree that the draft is not life. So the risk of not hitting on a QB is not life threatening. Someone might get fired but that's it.
We have to try to improve and can't be overly concerned with failure.
ajr said Schoen is trying to get to 3.

Might not happen today, this week, or month, but it could…
I mean, I guess we'll see, right? That seems to be the crux of the rumor, so it'll either happen or it won't. Any objection to discussing it the same way we would any other rumor?
I think keeping all picks this year and trading up in every spot possible to get your guy would be the way to go. For instance, if they love a particular wr who slides to the end of rd 1 or beginning of rd2, trade up for him. If Benson slides to the end of rd2 or beginning of rd3, trade up for him.
I have faith in Dabka getting a rookie qb to perform well, we all know they are good at making it easy for qbs (see dj in 2022). So it's not too far fetched to imagine a scenario in which we exceed expectations after a huge offseason and with a much easier schedule.
This, and obviously hitting on the qb pick, would make trading the 2025 1st look like highway robbery for the 3rd pick. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility.
Keep up the reverse psychology, I think it's working.
Well that settles it

100%. Just because a trade doesn’t happen doesn’t mean the asshat was wrong. Things change. Schoen could be working hard on NE to trade the pick, but at some point, the cost may become too rich. That doesn’t make the poster wrong.
I’m on vacation in Aruba and I cannot stop hitting the refresh button. This is like digitally crack 😂
It really is true. Think about it, the Giants gave up nothing to draft the likes of Dave Brown and Jones--they used one pick each time on each player. Both failed. Everyone cared. NY gave up 3 additional picks for Eli. No one cares.
Would it benefit either team to finalize a trade without seeing who Washington takes?
Remember, Schoen and Baalke set the Banks trade up days prior.
NE isn’t going to tip their hand on who they like; maybe they secretly love Nix or Penix and want to trade down after squeezing extra picks out of the Giants or someone else.
For a lot of different reasons I don’t think you would see an imminent trade.
Schoen’s persistence does tell me he wants a top 3 QB and is either ok with multiple guys or he’s very confident in the top 2 picks and who will be there at 3.
