QB Matthew Stafford a NY GIANT? What It May Cost To Make It Happen! #sports #nfl #football
Feb 16, 2025
Inside BBI’s John and Eric take a look at whether or not Stafford to the Giants has real legs and if yes, what would it cost to bring Stafford to the Giants. The cost includes picks and salary- what would be the appropriate pick compensation and then what kind of salary will the Giants be looking at providing.
We look back at where the rumors started -before the 2024 trade deadline and what may have prompted interest and why the trade didn’t happen then.
Could this interest in veteran QB match up with the words of Brian Daboll after the Giants beat Indianapolis, this is the result you get when you have competent QB play. That more than anything really spelled out how Daboll felt about Jones and what Jones wasn’t as the Giants QB.
We talked about the Giants injuries last year on the Oline really hurting the Giants offense and then look at the Rams from last year who had even more injuries on their Oline than the Giants.
Then at the very end John, Eric and Gary give their very specific answers to the question(s):
Do we think the Giants will trade for Matthew Stafford?

all right welcome back to another edition of inside BBI with John and Eric I'm John mcdev and with me as always
0:31
senior editor of Big Blue Interactive Mr Eric Kennedy Eric it's a Saturday morning so just a water no no beer no
0:38
beer with me we don't we don't need we don't need it flying around it somebody's an alcoholic it's water um so
0:45
uh we we we wanted to keep this video we're going to do something a little different is we're very we're going to stick to just a very specific topic
0:52
right and that topic being all the rumors going flying about about the
0:57
possibility of Matthew Stafford coming to the Giants so just I want to back up slightly to midseason you and I were
1:03
talking I was talking I had made a little bit of a list of some possible guys the Giants could go for and then
1:10
you kind of let me know at that time that you had heard some rumors but we couldn't talk about it we couldn't say
1:16
specifically what they were but the rumors were about the Giant's possible interest in Stafford so let's go back to
1:21
that that time and and start from there yeah so the Rams were two and four
1:26
before they played the Minnesota Vikings and um in week seven so the expectation
1:34
I think was that the Rams would have a hard time winning that game that was a week before the trade deadline and I had
1:41
been told that the Giants were in discussions about Matthew Stafford at that time the Rams upset the Vikings and
1:50
that seemed to change things at that at that time so that was so the first inkling that I had that they were even
1:58
um flirting with the possibility of Stafford was
2:04
midseason last year 2024 so what's interesting about that is at that time
2:11
Daniel Jones was still very much the starting quarterback of the New York Giants and their Giants were make not
2:17
making any noise that they were going to bench him which they eventually did at the bye so with that if those rumors
2:23
were true now I should pref preface all this with with this I run a Giants website I have
2:31
people contact me all the time about things they've heard I have no way to
2:39
verify the authenticity of the the information that I receive other than
2:45
the fact that I pay attention to the if the person has a track record or not
2:50
sometimes they're right sometimes they're wrong and these people aren't people that are living in John Mara's
2:57
house or working in their front office and have direct access these are people
3:03
that know people who know people that have may have contacts inside the
3:08
organization or may have contacts outside of the organization not directly related to the Giants and you may ask
3:15
well what does that mean there are agents out there there are family members out there there are players out
3:22
there there are all kinds of people out there so I want to set that up so I'm
3:27
the messenger I cannot vouch for the authenticity we heard last year that the
3:32
Giants were interested in trading up for May in the draft I had people telling me
3:39
that it was practically a done deal obviously it wasn't a done deal so again take all of this with a grain of salt
3:46
some people get really really mad when people um gossip like this or whatever
3:54
you want to call it dealing in rumors whatever you want to call it and it doesn't turn out to be true and then they get mad at the people relaying the
4:00
information that's why we've had on the website over the years we've had a number of people who have reported these
4:06
types of things and stopped reporting like these types of things because they got tired of the blowback when these
4:11
things did not end up so things are completely fluid in the NFL all the time
4:16
deals fall through as we saw with the May thing so which did the talks were
4:22
happening but they didn't it didn't happen so again I just want to throw that out there so whatever we're hearing
4:28
does not mean um it's 100% fact 100% so just keep so
4:34
if you don't like this stuff turn this off right now go do something else and don't listen to John and I so I wanted
4:41
to just get that get that yeah which which coined the phrase ass hat that's where the ass hat piece came from and
4:47
it's hard too because a lot of things change like and I can say a number of years ago when we were first doing this
4:53
um when I brought a couple of players on I actually had a connection with a with an agency so they didn't represent the
5:01
some of the players that we brought on but they they were connected to the the person who did and that's kind of how I
5:06
got in there but I also got stuff that they fed me about other players within the league and then I had a a former
5:13
player and I'll never say who who it is uh who would tell me a few things about stuff going on inside the building every
5:19
now and then uh in the intermediate time between when we last did the show till now I haven't been able to get anything
5:25
from that person in the last year or so but it used to give me information all the time about things that were going on so you never know who knows what like we
5:33
I've seen before um there was a real estate agent that somebody knew who knew that that a certain coach was putting
5:40
their house up for sale in that area saying that they knew that coach was leaving and was going somewhere else
5:45
it's interesting how these things come about so yeah I had I had um the brother
5:51
of a very very famous Giants defensive lineman who everybody would know tell me
5:56
he would sell me information I was at bar and I'm like what is what is this
6:03
The Sopranos I mean I don't know what the I didn't take him up on that offer but again so there's all kinds of again
6:10
so so the the thing about the Stafford stuff that John going to talk about why this is getting interesting is I've had
6:16
four sources now tell me in the last week that
6:22
this it's not that it's going to happen but there are very serious talks that are going on and it's look it's heading
6:28
in that direction only thing I will say is well not the only thing um that one
6:34
of the sources did tell me there are other teams involved now and so I would
6:40
not be surprised if the Giants get out bid here either not that's me
6:45
speculating that's not them telling but there are other teams involved um we also have one report out there from Adam
6:52
schfer that he said the Rams are very much interested in keeping um Stafford so as an outsider
7:01
looking in somebody might saywell why the heck would Stafford want to leave the Rams the go to the Giants um why
7:08
would it why you know why would the Rams want to do why would the Rams because they don't have any obvious answer at
7:14
quarterback why would the Rams there are reports out there whether you believe them or not that the Rams and Stafford
7:21
are not completely happy with each other so um some of this gets into the fact
7:26
that uh Matthew had wife Kelly has a podcast and she has said negative things
7:32
about the Rams there's the whole um um cup situation at wide receiver so so
7:40
there are other things out there there that could be influencing this as well the Rams may decide that they want to
7:45
move on because because of his age so I don't know there are people on the
7:50
website in BBI who seem to know the Rams more and they say that there is some Merit in that there's not everything's
7:57
not great between the between these two parties so that would lend to the speculation again that the Rams may be
8:05
looking to deal him they get draft Capital to get younger at the position
8:10
yeah and I think there's a couple things one that it was there was a very
8:15
obvious push from last year the Rams wanted Matthew to tell them he was
8:21
coming back sooner than he did he dragged it out a little while before he told them he was definitely coming back
8:28
and I think that probably there was probably some contract stuff or whatever else maybe was kind of at play there
8:34
that's why when this season ended one of the things that they wanted to know right away was what was Stafford's plan
8:42
for this coming year and they wanted to know it much sooner that was that's coming from the Rams they wanted to know
8:47
it much sooner um you can also look at the fact that the Rams are going to get younger in a number of areas they they
8:56
cup is on his way out that's that's pretty obvious they've made that very clear um they've got they've got nakua
9:02
who's young but the rest of the receiving core is very is a mixed bag so if Stafford's thinking hey get me better
9:08
players and stuff they're thinking we might want to build more long term you could see there might be some friction
9:14
some friction there um they survived the year when Stafford was injured and they kind of rotated quter remember that's
9:20
how Baker Mayfield got his contract ultimately with Tampa Bay he got brought in out of nowhere I believe he was
9:26
brought in on a Monday night or Tuesday Morning After injury and because they were so short-handed he started a game
9:32
on a Thursday night doesn't come back or came into the game on Thursday he didn't started he came into the game in like the second quarter he leads a comeback
9:38
win that ultimately is what gets uh Mayfield his contract so I think there's
9:43
some legitimate pieces uh one thing that Sher said he said two two very specific things the first one was the Rams aren't
9:51
just gonna trade them they're they're hoping to keep them I don't buy that I actually think that's what you say if
9:57
you're telling other teams we want you know X they're negotiating yeah if we want X I can't tell you I want all this
10:04
if you know I have no interest in bringing the guy back right so so there's that the other thing that he
10:09
said is there is no way and he said it multiple times there is no way the Giants are going to trade the third pick
10:15
for Matthew Stafford and that I 100% agree the Colin cardd story about that
10:21
sounded so ridiculous when the way he said it I think a lot of the stuff he said was was pretty much what other
10:27
people are hearing that Stafford is available and the Giants are interested and we'll we'll get to the Giants part in a second but the fact that he said
10:35
then the Rams idea was they want to get the third pick so then they could trade down and get picks for 26 that makes no
10:43
sense one you don't tell people that because then who the hell's going to give you the kind of picks that you want knowing you're trying to do that two why
10:51
would you trade up to three in this draft to get picks in next draft why wouldn't you just ask for picks from the
10:57
Giants year I don't the Rams thinking and all this all I I I
11:04
heard the only pick that I heard being discussed from the Giants perspective was our third round pick which is at the
11:11
top of the third round which is so practically a second round pick it's not
11:17
an insignificant pick people say well it's a third round pick big deal it's at the very top of the third round so it is
11:23
is not a throwaway pick so could that go high because there are
11:30
other teams involved or and or the Rams have convinced the Giants that other teams are involved and they get the
11:35
Giants to negotiate against themselves with the Giants are Infamous for doing the Giants have a horrible history of
11:41
negotiating against themselves and you're like why are we giving this guy this much money when nobody else was
11:47
interested you know some people speculated that's what they did with Daniel Jones you know why did we give him $160 million who were we competing
11:54
against um sequan Barkley saquan Barky same we can go we we go on and on I mean
11:59
that's who they were competing against they had to keep Barkley we had to keep Barkley and that's why Jones got the contract that he did right but again so
12:07
I don't know anyways um that's a whole other that's a whole yep so so I do
12:13
think there was somebody else on the website that mentioned the third too I
12:18
will try to go back and find that there are so many comments on Matthew Stafford right now I can't even find some of the
12:24
commentary that's on there but the only thing I heard was the third round pick that could change obviously that's not
12:30
an insignificant pick but that's the only I heard but there would also obviously have to be money and I and I
12:36
heard from one guy that said um they're looking two years a two-year deal with
12:42
Stafford at 55 million per year guaranteed um 55 million per year the 55
12:50
million being guaranteed so I don't I don't know if again I don't know if any of this is accurate I don't know if this
12:55
is if this is just well that's interesting that's for a second let's
13:00
stay there for one second that's an interesting piece because right now Stafford's under under contract for two more years with the Rams he's on the
13:06
contract for 25 and 26 in 26 I believe he has no more guaranteed money per and
13:13
and bonus money this year he has a roster bonus and then an option bonus that's coming so a roster bonus coming
13:18
du so if they're going to make a move they would want to do so before that roster bonus comes into play if I'm
13:24
Stafford it makes sense I want a deal done before I agree to to a trade I did
13:30
read somewhere that he there are some reports I think Pat Leonard is the one to put it out there that League sources
13:36
say that Stafford is okay with it being the giant that he's not that he's fine
13:41
it sounds like he's interested because of the fact that they have neighbors make sense neighbors would be an
13:47
attractor if you're going to go somewhere I got to have a number one wide receiver there was some other talk too about the fact that maybe it's a
13:54
package deal that if where Stafford goes cup would go the Rams might be trying to
13:59
do that because they free up a lot of money if they can trade both of these guys before the deadline they'll have
14:05
dead money but they will they will save roughly 25 I think it's like about 25
14:11
million on the cap this year if they can trade both of them um before before June
14:16
1st which in reality means before the draft nobody's trading for a quarterback after the draft like this because now
14:23
youve you have no Capital to use for this year it's all next year so it's it's an interesting I I if they do a
14:31
contract for the for the Giants if you were to do this if you're let's say you're interested so we'll leave the compensation out for a second if you're
14:37
to do this I you got to get a new deal you don't want him just for this year with that other deal next year because
14:44
that's a lot of money that when you bring it in it's really going to the bulk of it's going to count for you this year which means we eat up the bulk of
14:51
our of the money that we get so you've got to do a deal that can spread out so you can do the signing bonus well again
14:57
again and again this is don't take this as gospel this is something I heard from
15:02
One Source this doesn't mean it's real it doesn't mean it's true but his
15:08
contract but I'm saying his contract if you acquire that contract the bulk of the money is all this year so you as a
15:14
Giants have to do something so you can spread it out so you don't take the hit all in this in this year you would think
15:21
so but again if it doesn't happen again don't shoot the messenger this is what where I and I'm going to put on my
15:26
cynical hat here for a minute here and say I think you and I can come in agreement that this is
15:33
probably the last serious money Stafford will get in his career if he gets it
15:39
right agre agre he's looking to get paid he's also and I'm gonna this this is
15:44
going to probably ruffle wrong ruffle some feathers he's probably Al also
15:49
looking out for his wife here who has a podcast and you can do a podcast from
15:54
anywhere in in the 50 States but if you're in the New York Market you have a podcast your audience is going to go way
16:02
up I would think in terms of regional appeal so he may and sponsorships and
16:08
sponsorship he so he may be also looking out for his wife here I also will throw
16:13
this out here again this is more speculation but because there is a
16:18
relationship between Brian dable and Chad Hall our new uh assistant quarterbacks coach they
16:25
were both coached together on the same staff in Buffalo Buffalo but Chad Hall is also the
16:31
brother-in-law of Matthew Stafford and that raises you know Spidey senses
16:37
tingling here you know there's there connect the dots a little bit here as well too so so I I just think there's a
16:44
lot of signs I didn't really I started a thread this week that got a lot of lot of views and and I've heard all these
16:51
rumors I I've been hearing that for a while now I didn't want to start that thread but there were too many people
16:57
coming out to me that hey this is this is real and I thought I've got three people here telling me it's real then
17:05
John C said in the PO in the post yep I've heard the same thing that makes four and then I had another guy tell
17:11
me who posts on the site who hasn't not posted this on the site that he's heard the same thing so that's five so we've
17:18
got five people so everyone's either trying to piggyback on everybody else the Giants are doing a great job of
17:24
throwing out smoke for whatever reason or this is or this is real so the only
17:29
thing is again does another team come in here and jump in and do it or do the Rams have second thoughts and decide to
17:36
resign him after all I don't know any of that I'm just telling you what I'm hearing is Matthew now we can talk about
17:42
the pros and cons where we think this should happen but but it seems to be there seems to be enough smoke here to
17:50
think that there's a fire well and and so I'm going to go backwards to back to where we started yeah there was that
17:56
Thursday night game you and I had been talking about it before hand we you gave that that piece we brought it up that we
18:02
could well can I interrupt you because this will affect what you're G to say yeah one guy reached out to me yesterday
18:09
same one of the same guys and said those talks were in um um before
18:17
Halloween were very very real so again that's another source saying the chains
18:24
were talking before Halloween so so that was confirmation that and as you said
18:30
they were two and four at the time yeah they play the Vikings team a Vikings team that is is winning with Sam darnold
18:35
is is going somewhere Matthew Stafford goes 25 of 34 279 yards four touchdown
18:42
passes the Rams win and go you know what our division's not that great right now
18:47
they they stay Pat the reason I bring that up and I say it like that is because you and I talk multiple times
18:54
there was something unbelievably odd going on with the Giants during this whole time no matter how much they kept
19:00
going into games and they lost no how clearly the quarterback didn't win the
19:05
game I said it on a couple different things and people got mad some people got mad other people agreed with me
19:11
Daniel Jones didn't lose the game against the Cowboys but he's the reason they didn't win and people were like it can't be yes it can be he didn't turn
19:17
the ball over that was returned for a touchdown the Giants lost the game but there were multiple opportunities to make big passes and he just he just
19:24
couldn't do it he just couldn't get the ball there that you started to go geez if we just had a quarter back and what did Dall always say this is the best we
19:31
got this is the guy you know he gives us our best chance to win but you kept seeing but you're not winning and we
19:37
couldn't understand why would you keep saying it like that and yet you're not you're not producing then comes the uh
19:45
the game against the Panthers and and all hell breaks loose and we just we we can't do anything the Flea Flicker
19:50
becomes the most obvious play that Jones just does not pull the trick his signature downfall play to me was yeah
19:58
so then you go forward to the game that everybody hates everybody's pissed off at I got you we beat the Colts what does
20:06
Brian debal say in his press conference give me a quarterback and this is what will happen when you get competent play
20:14
when you make the plays that are there when you get competent quarterback and he said it specifically quarterback play
20:22
this is what you get the guy that never ever has thrown anyone under the bus who
20:27
gets pissed off when coaches throw people under the bus through his previous quarterbacks under the bus with
20:34
he seemed pretty it to me was his his plea to ownership to say give me another
20:41
give me a serious quarterback and I'll show you what kind of Coach I am and I think that this game we can talk about I
20:47
think this game has potential to be is as catastrophic for the Giants as the Vikings playoff game was uh we can get
20:54
into that and I and I and and we can because I 100% now disagree I know you
20:59
do um and the reason I say it like that is now now I think all along I told you this anybody can go back and look at the
21:05
video of this I said it way back when I thought there has there must be some agreement in place that allows them to
21:12
let these guys know that they'd be coming back if things failed with Daniel do you want to hear the you want to hear
21:17
something that that they'll throw you off a little bit I should probably headline with this one of the guys crack
21:23
record on BBI this is one of the sources that has a says one of the driving forces behind getting Matthew Stafford
21:30
is John Mara that he's pushing this which well I'm sure that he I'm sure that he is so if that's
21:38
true again we could and I don't want to spend time on this but that's still that just that what the f were they doing
21:44
with Daniel Jones just just I don't want to go back and look at this but the way the Giants have handled the quarterback
21:50
situation for the last few years is just mind numbing it's mindboggling how
21:56
they've handled this quarterback situation it any sense at all and they screwed this up from day one and there's two so he
22:04
may or to the end hold that to the end because okay because we still need to kind of cover what it would take to get
22:10
him there but I I know where you're going with that so my thought is what what it was they have their meeting they
22:17
discuss what's going to happen what did I say right after when we talked about it they were oddly specific about
22:24
mentioning trade right they they mentioned it more than once and and that's really weird to say it is really
22:30
yeah it's unusual for them specifically reference trade especially right at the end of the season like you I mean the
22:36
rest of the league is still finishing out the playoffs nothing's happened yet but you say trade they don't say we need
22:43
to bring in a rookie or a veteran they say we may have to trade for a quarterback and and I I'm right there I
22:49
I'm like they're they're on board with they know they're going after somebody and I think it is Stafford they might
22:55
not get him but I've kind of been feeling all along this is the guy that if now I I said Aaron Rogers if he came
23:01
available they're not going to trade for Aaron Rogers and you don't have to now the Jets have told everybody they're going to release him so Stafford is the
23:07
trade Target and I think it's pretty obvious now that what they're going to do so let's just say we don't we're not
23:13
going to worry about the money because we did we have no control over that right compensation wise what makes sense
23:19
you've already mentioned that you've heard of three I saw someone else mentioned a two and a two next year oh
23:25
God no please I'm okay okay depending on how that is you have to include picks
23:32
coming back though I can't just give you a two and you you you've got to give me your three and then you got to give me
23:38
your three next year so I might take one round less we got to remind everybody out there that where these draft picks
23:45
are in each round so when you talk about two you say ah two no it's a two near
23:50
the top of the what is it the second or third it's a second or third pick in the second in the second yeah we have we
23:56
have picked 34 so it's a second thir pick in the second round it's the second pick in the third in the in the second
24:01
round almost the first round draft pick and it's the exact kind of pick you would need if you you're thinking I want
24:07
Jackson Dart you either want that to stay there or move up so again these are
24:13
really valuable now it depends on how you feel about this draft some people don't think this is a great draft others
24:18
do this is a good draft for instance if you want to get well on the defensive line if you want to get if you want to fix the defensive line this is a good
24:26
draft to do it if you start trading around way second and third round picks in a deep defensive line draft then
24:32
you're you're sabotaging your ability to fix the defensive line again I know we have a hole at quarterback and and also
24:38
begs the question and I'm I know I'm throwing a lot but we got to structure how we're going to do this sure if you tra if you trade for Stafford do you
24:45
still draft a quarterback at three no so so% no is that a mistake if you do that
24:53
then mean so I again before we let's let's let's start from this premise what
24:58
is the goal here what what are the Giants what is what is the outcome what
25:03
are the potential outcomes if you if you trade for Matthew Stafford a 37 he just turned 30 he just turned 37 so it was in
25:11
it was in February 7th so a week ago a week ago he just turned 37 you you got him maybe two more years what's the best
25:19
possible outcome realistic outcome of trading for Matthew Stafford and do that
25:24
make sense given the state of the the NFC East right now now so that so let's
25:29
work backwards from there sure so the first thing is is you it's the you have
25:34
it depends on what your mindset is on what you're going to do with this scenario if I if it's me if I'm doing
25:43
this this is what I do I am I'm I first off I am bringing Matthew Stafford on board I want to get him he you've gotta
25:50
win number one that you forget what you think or the rest of us fans think what is your definition of win you've got to
25:57
win multiple games you've got to at least how many games how give me a number give me a Range you've got to at
26:03
least be at around eight or more to to what end to bring back did for D Bal to
26:10
come back you're gonna be at but but it doesn't matter I don't care but so let's
26:15
just put the cards on the table here so really what they're trying to do you can argue with me you can tell me I'm wrong
26:21
the goal here seems to be not to win a Super Bowl right now the goal seems to be to save jobs right no I'm saying if
26:29
you're day ball though that you're you're you're not the one who's going to make the ultimate decision on whether we do this or don't we already talked about
26:35
that John Mar's gonna decide so he's John at least has to sign off on this
26:41
agree but his his edict is going to be listen you won in 22 this is how I would have said it you won in 22 with a guy
26:48
that you thought was limited later on that's fine we gave him a bunch of money cuz I want you know however that was
26:53
done we wanted to keep these things together because we thought we could build you then told me that that guy
26:59
just can't get it done and we've lost and we lost again I gave you that credit you're right we we didn't win with him
27:05
I'm going to get you a guy now you tell me this is the guy I'm Gonna Get You him you gotta win I don't think there's
27:11
anything wrong with saying it that way and that's how I would do it the problem that too many people argue about right
27:17
now that really pisses me off is that every answer you come up with is the wrong answer they want to go oh just
27:24
bring in Justin Fields why would you bring in Justin Fields he's goddamn Daniel Jones all over again just he's a little more athletic and less passing
27:31
who cares why would you do that well again again I I I'm I'm playing devil's advocate here now too I'm not arguing
27:38
from I've said from the beginning that there there are no good answers here except the best answer to me is this
27:46
there's only one great answer here and it's we don't know if it can happen if
27:52
the Giants were to draft a quarterback in this draft that
27:57
ends being our stud so be it Sanders be it Ward be it Dart be it it could be
28:04
even will Howard it could be it could be somebody I'm not saying these guys are all going to become studs I'm saying the
28:09
best possible outcome is for the Giants to get their version of Jaden Daniels is it and go and go from there
28:16
yeah it is because we need because for the let's let's think strategically right now the Eagles are so far ahead of
28:23
us right now care well but but you're but here's
28:28
the thing you're putting all your eggs in the basket that a stud quarterback has to be this draft and not next draft
28:33
can't be next year Stafford gives you that ability it can be next year but that but again if you have a if you have
28:39
a Matthew Stafford who wins eight games in 2025 then you've hurt your ability to
28:45
get the stud quarterback in 20 you can go get whatever you want next year however you
28:51
want so I'm so let me go back to where I was which is what I would do I'm take I
28:56
get Stafford compensation wise right now my original thought was we give up a three this year a four next year I want
29:04
back a four and I want a five back but I don't however that works so so three and a let's say three and a four we gave him
29:10
three and a four next year what I would do is I'm sitting at three if if Abdul
29:16
Carter is there I I truly have to think he's a game changer I I Pro I personally
29:22
probably do it but if I'm the Giants and say like you the idea is I want to win
29:28
and we've got to have the guy for the future but I don't know the guy that for the future per se is here I dropped from
29:34
three I dropped down a little bit I collect some picks I backfill whatever I gave up and I get stuff for next year
29:40
which is possible if you take Carter you take the pressure off of of having to
29:46
decide if you want to pick up the fifth year option on Kayon we've got all the way until I believe the be beginning of
29:52
is it beginning of May or beginning of April yeah but I mean that fresher to me
29:59
is the minor thing the bigger thing is the quarterback well it's all but I'm talking about qu who's the quarterback
30:06
of the New York Giants two years after Stafford is done that's my concern so with that with that and you named one
30:12
person already I'm I'm going to trade down I'm gonna I I either I either get Abdul Carter or I trade down but
30:18
somewhere in the fourth round range I'm is where I'm looking right now is Will
30:24
Howard you you you get will Howard a guy who can learn behind Stafford I don't
30:29
think he's maybe going to potentially be the guy down the road but he certainly gives you a developmental guy until we
30:35
get to next year when there'll be multiple options and we can do whatever the heck we want next unless where those
30:41
quarterbacks are out of range because Matthew Stafford won us enough games you can go get whoever you want ultimate
30:46
keep in mind not every last year we tried to get May and we won a Daniels
30:51
it's easy to say that John no no no no no no no but that was different that was a draft at the top where all the guys at
30:58
the top needed a quarterback the right now the bulk of the teams right now that
31:03
that went and got their guys they're not going to need quarterbacks now you got a bunch of mid- tier teams but a lot of those really good teams are going to be
31:10
guys who might need quarterbacks too so you're going to have people in the 18 to 30 range that are all going to possibly
31:17
maybe be interested in a quarterback the guys up top I think Washington is going to have a regression a little bit they
31:22
have a lot of money and stuff but to expect to be double digit wins again the next year when you're really replacing
31:27
placing a lot of your roster it's a little unrealistic but I think they'll still be okay but they don't need a
31:33
quarterback Chicago shouldn't need a quarterback right Detroit's probably not gonna go after we could speculate who
31:40
does and who doesn't I'm just saying that it's a lot easier to say we'll be fine to get a quarterback we have we
31:46
have a knack in recent history of being out just outside where we need to be to make sure
31:53
we get the quarterback last year we were what do you want shadur Sanders he's growing on
32:00
me really at three he's growing on me um I'm not lobbying for him I I I think
32:06
Ward probably is a safer pick by the way I did hear from one person that and this is the first time I've heard it that's
32:12
giants like Ward so this the first time I've heard heard anybody because
32:17
everyone's been tying Giants with Sanders and um and then that one other source who who was completely
32:23
speculating said he wonders if the sander stuff is a smoke screen at this point so and other Giants fans have
32:29
wondered this why are we not hearing anything about Ward why is it all about Sanders right now so it could be to
32:35
entice the Raiders to jump up I mean it could be something like that we could get we'll do another show
32:41
on who because we could get sidetracked on this so what all I my concern is this
32:47
and I think you know where I'm going with this my concern is is the right if and I've said this on X
32:56
I've said this on Twitter if the the Giants get Matthew Stafford he will be the best quarterback the Giants have had
33:01
since Eli Manning no doubt no question he was is a tremendous even at the age of 37 he's going to be the best
33:07
quarterback we've had how much does he have left in the tank I don't know but he's going to be the best quarterback we've had he is going to make us a
33:14
better team my concern is that they're doing this out of sheer desperation
33:21
because mea looks like mea must know that Giants fans
33:27
think he's idiot right now they they they think that our ownership doesn't know what the hell they're doing he he's
33:33
got to feel that he's a desperate man we know D was borderline are they even
33:38
going to bring this guy back so he knows he's dead man walking unless he he he gets turns this
33:44
around um Shane can't feel very good on where he's at so my concern is this is
33:50
right they're they're doing this for the wrong reasons rather than the long-term health of the Giants I know where you're
33:56
coming from you want to win you want to you you're doing two things you also
34:02
agree with me that they've got to stabilize the situation to save their own necks but you also want and there's
34:07
a lot of Giants fans who feel the way that you do we're so tired of being a laughing stack stock let's at least get
34:13
to be respectable and then fix it permanently beyond that my concern is
34:20
are they postponing things again is this another Band-Aid approach and you may be right
34:26
I'm not saying that you're wrong but I have this just reeks of me of desperation where they're just
34:32
postponing a permanent fix at the position and the permanent fix is the hardest fix and that's the find our
34:38
version of Jaden Daniels and I keep saying Jaden Daniels but he's the easiest one to reference because of what
34:43
he did to Washington this year Washington roster stinks but they got the one guy that could that change the
34:50
entire narrative I talked yesterday to a um a commander fan and he was gy he
34:57
didn't want to get the phone with me he is so happy he can't believe it he's he he went from years and years of horrible
35:05
horrible Washington football team Commander Redskins play to this and he's
35:10
he's on Cloud9 right now and he's pinching himself and that's kind of what the Giants need to do because we not
35:15
only have to think about um winning but we have to think about the arms it's all
35:21
it's a liter literal infig of arms race with the Philadelphia Eagles and and the
35:27
Washington commanders right now we have to be able to catch them or we're keep we're condemned them being third or
35:32
fourth in the division the next 5 years I AG I agree with you but I again I I
35:37
think a lot of people speak in in these paana this is how it should happen kind
35:44
of thing as if it's just you just magically can make it Happ it can't yeah you're right% right the draft the draft
35:49
is a is a is a eff exactly exactly so let me ask you
35:55
this in all honesty and I know we can't for those who are going to listen we we can't guarantee what what what we're
36:02
about to say I can't I don't even know what you're going to say but even what you say there's no guarant we couldn't go yep that's 100% what would happen
36:09
right but I laid it out on BBI big BL interactive.com the other day in in a in that chain about Stafford I laid out
36:17
where the Giants were this year how many games would they have won if from day
36:23
one Matthew Stafford was the quarterback with the team the way that it was how many games would we have won and if you
36:30
take it all the way to just the Carolina game I listed all the games where the quarterback probably was the difference
36:37
or could have been the difference between winning and losing for the Giants you put Matthew Stafford in there
36:42
and this team suddenly has four maybe five more wins than it did all the way
36:47
through that mid portion of the Season not even the end of the year when we were decimated by injuries but you don't
36:53
know what would have happened if the thing if all the scenarios were different right Washington
37:00
Cincinnati Dallas Carolina the second Washington game that's five games right
37:06
there alone that Matthew Stafford probably would have been a Difference Maker in those games five more games
37:13
you're Suddenly at eight wins New Orleans that's nine you're a nine- win
37:19
Team all all of a sudden we're talking about us being a wild card team that's with just a quarterback being
37:26
different so my point to this is yes we could chase the guy for the future and I
37:31
agree this is not a long-term solution but the fact of the matter is
37:37
we don't have anybody on the roster right at the moment we have a guy that we believe will be tendered and that
37:42
just means he can't go anywhere he can't go anywhere else period he can't negotiate with anybody he's not even a a
37:49
um a transition free agent he's an exclusive rights for agent with the Giants they either keep his rights or
37:55
they don't right that doesn't mean they want that just means that they're at least just like okay we'll keep them as a body
38:00
arm we have no quarterbacks none but why not do what you you suggested in the past if I'd be
38:08
more um willing to do this veteran route by getting Aaron roders not giving up
38:13
the draft pick having Aaron Rogers for a year sure that that I so that's but our
38:19
scenario is just because the discussions out there about Stafford we did lay it out before that Rogers is the cheaper
38:27
draft pick uh acquisition Stafford is going to cost you in the draft picks I
38:33
think the dollars would be roughly same because I don't think Rogers is coming in cheap no matter where he goes um and
38:38
he brings he brings just as much baggage as you know Stafford's you know wife and the interest would have to be mutual the
38:45
interest would have to he's going to be able to sign with whoever he wants to sign if assuming he's let go which they
38:52
said they don't want him back they yeah they actually made the announcement they put it out that they are going to release him release him so he's got but
38:58
he's got to agree it's not like you can pick him off a waivers he's a veteran so he would have to anyways M I just don't
39:06
like giving up the draft picks my question and I you're completely completely correct John if you put
39:11
Stafford on this team and somehow Andrew Thomas doesn't hurt
39:18
his Liz Frank injury this this team in a NFL filled with bad football teams could
39:26
have been in a wild hard hunt my question is and I know I I think I know
39:32
your mindset your mindset is don't Eric don't don't think about too much into the future we can't control that let's
39:40
just deal in now my concern is Stafford is here probably two more years and then
39:47
you're back where you started started from uh starting position that you got
39:52
to fix the quarterback that so part of me is just like let's just fix the quarterback take it let's take another
39:57
swing at at the plate in the draft and if we screw up instead of waiting six
40:03
years again two do what everyone else is doing cut bait so say they draft cam ward two years from now cam Ward looks
40:11
terrible get rid of him and do it again that's what other teams do the Giants on the other hand they keep guys like
40:18
Daniel Jones around six years when everyone else in the in the world can see that the guy can't play and they
40:24
hold on to him too long so I just I know Stafford will help the Giants this
40:31
year um what I have a hard time seeing is does a does Matthew
40:39
Stafford change the way Shane Bowen coaches the defense does is the best
40:45
case scenario is this the best case scenario is this is Matthew Stafford makes Brian D look like a stud coach
40:52
again right does that really happen I don't know they is selling the narrative
40:58
that if you give me a real quarterback what I did to the Colts who quit on that
41:03
day that's why that's where I differ well I mean they they didn't they didn't quit they were not very good they still
41:10
put up a bunch of points on us I know but you saw how they were tackling I mean not tackling and it's like what
41:16
what do they if you went if you went to visit Colts fans websites after that game they were livid they were like what
41:23
the hell was that we had everything in front of us and we laid down like a dog against a terrible football G so my
41:30
concern is John Mara looked at that game had D told him if you give me a
41:36
legitimate quarterback and I'll put up 40 points a game and we'll turn into a
41:42
real a real playoff Contender with with a real quarterback he may be right he
41:48
may be right but I'm afraid that that that's that's false go but do you not believe but I'll so I'll take that and
41:54
I'm gonna turn it back on you do you not believe that that narrative was already agreed upon when the Giants supposedly
42:03
were already reaching out to ma to the Rams about Matthew Stafford well that's the big question see that to me that
42:08
says that they already had that discussion that's a really good question what I John what I I still struggle with
42:14
is this is it's what we mentioned on the other call so once they did the 160
42:20
million contract they were locked into two years in Daniel Jones they had he
42:26
they could not cut him now they did caught they caught him sooner than even I thought they would when they caught him
42:31
midseason well but it's still all counting for this year yeah but they were locked in they screwed up they
42:37
locked in they had to they had to do start two seasons with him what I still can't get over is they telegraphed with
42:46
their interest in the dra heavy scouting in the draft flirting with the quarterbacks I know we've talked about
42:52
hardnox being orchestrated but there was nothing for them to get out of hardnox by um falsely advertising they were
43:00
ready to move on from Daniel sure sure but so they were so they telegraphed that they had serious serious serious
43:06
doubts about Daniel Jones it was all out there yet their only fallback was was
43:11
Drew lock and that to me and and then this and then at some
43:18
point they decided to inquire about Matthew Stafford so what I still can't wrap my head around is is I know they
43:24
were locked in locked in Daniel Jones and they but they knew Daniel they
43:29
weren't really sold on Daniel and they knew Daniel was coming off a major injury and they said they weren't going to sure he was even going to be ready
43:35
for the start of the Season why didn't they have a better backup plan in case Daniel flamed out which he
43:42
did so so I agree with you that's why I'm this whole thing they've handled the quarterback I I I don't understand what
43:49
it's almost like they winged it it's but well I I kind of get the feeling that again I'm I I said it before and I'll
43:55
keep saying it I think there was some weird agree but you got to you got to go through
44:00
this year with Jones I think Jones it just blew up to the point where it became so obvious that he's just not the
44:07
guy and while John Marill will come out and say we didn't we don't play to lose
44:13
and you have to say that by the way he's on a competition committee so people stop he's not GNA come out and go well
44:18
yeah we weren't trying to win you can't say that but the fact that they pulled Jones jumped to
44:25
DeVito and and after you said all the way to the point of the Carolina game over and over and
44:33
over again you said he gives us the best chance to win and then you jump to the
44:38
third string guy you've basically said we're we're we're we're kind of throwing the white but then they but then they
44:45
went back on that like and you've said that because that you thought that the impact on the locker room once DeVito
44:50
was healthy again they stuck with they still stuck well I think I think you kind of had I mean it was such a
44:55
disaster and deito guy he got a concussion I mean so you're kind of but but but he was he was out two weeks but
45:01
they I why did they play lock at the end of the year I don't even understand I don't even understand why they played lock at the end of the year Lock's not
45:07
gonna unless you want bring lock unless you're thinking about bringing lock back why would you have brought even played
45:13
lock maybe they were thinking maybe they might bring lock back I hope they don't I I think I I actually think they
45:19
thought quite frankly lock was really bad like lock was horribly bad against the Falcons he was he ran a lot against
45:27
the Cowboys in a game that was close another game by the way that a a better quarterback would have won that game um
45:34
the Thanksgiving game uh in in Dallas so that game was was close I mean it was
45:39
like 2720 I think he ran for two but he's not throwing much he throws
45:44
multiple pick sixes against the Falcons he was he was bad he was epically bad in the pre season he had three pick sixes
45:52
on a season and limited playing time and he got injured in the preseason which I think also played a roll in they might
45:57
have gone to lock earlier in the season but they weren't going to go to deito because remember lock got Hur so lock
46:05
really wasn't able to play he was he was on the sidelines but he was they didn't want to put him in he hurt his hip so
46:12
yeah I don't know they were very clear with Russell Wilson that that rumor got out that they told him you wouldn't be
46:18
competing for the starting job I do believe the Mandate was it's it's not there's no way I can prove it but this
46:24
is as clear as it seems you you had Williams which you knew was going to the Bears you had Daniels which they kind of
46:30
believe was going to Washington but they were very interested they made that obvious and then you had May who they
46:36
kind of never really said his name out loud that they were interested in him but it was obvious they were interested
46:41
those are the three guys mea says you can trade up if you want to you can't
46:47
give up the farm though to go get the guy but if you've got a conviction go ahead but I have a feeling the reason
46:53
they did that and they didn't show us that is here's the three and then here's the other three and in between are the
46:59
guys that they actually had rated higher and that's why they keep saying the process the way we do things and
47:05
neighbors the dog and I hate the dog thing and that sounds stupid but on their board neighbors was really high so
47:12
you can't convince the owner to take a guy way down here when you're paying a
47:18
guy over here a ton of money over this guy that you think is a potential allp Pro wide receiver you kind of have to I
47:25
get it I don't agree with it but get it but this year's different look I'm not a big I'm not a big Russell Wilson fan at
47:32
this stage of his career I'm not I've been very critical of him when when he was on other teams on BBI I when he was
47:38
with Seattle and and so forth however if I'm running the Giants and last year I bring him in I would have said if you
47:46
come here you are competing with Daniel Jones for the starting job in training camp why they did not do that I know I
47:53
hear what you're saying and yours you're what you're saying a the would make sense it would I mean when I
48:01
say plausible and it fits in why they wouldn't tell Russell Wilson this but that's why why I keep coming back is
48:07
they've so mismanaged this quarterback situation because if you don't if you have serious doubts about Daniel Jones
48:14
you just don't hand him the starting job again no matter what how much money he's making I know it looks bad but again
48:21
jobs are on the line our fan base is tired of this [ __ ] you tell you say Russell Wilson you we're signing you and
48:28
he wouldn't have been expensive look what Pittsburgh did we're sign you're going to have a real shot to start here
48:34
with Malik neighbors if we draft Malik neighbors and and the thing we got all
48:39
these plans and free agency with the offensive line you come here and you're going to have a real chance to re
48:45
resurrect your career and what did Russell Wilson say he said the Giants didn't it comes out later that they he
48:52
wasn't going to be able to compete for the starting job there so why would and Pittsburgh said he would so of course
48:57
he's gonna go plus Pitts a better team so that's what I'm just I can't wrap my head around what the Giants are doing at
49:04
quarterback but you could see you you could see though that the and and we said this right they expected that Jones
49:12
would at least be able to be a 15 touch which is really low level by the way in the NFL a 15 touchdown passing guy and
49:20
seven rushing but we thought some of the rushing would move over to the passing because we didn't think he'd run as much
49:25
coming off the the ACL so we were thinking in the 20s we thought maybe even more with neighbors and better
49:31
Talent he couldn't even get back to the 15 touchdown guy something drastically
49:37
changed in him that he's just he he can't even do what he was doing in
49:43
22n is remember they kept saying they don't even know he was going to be healthy so in March when this was going
49:48
on they didn't even know if he would be able to again let's not spend I just don't
49:54
understand what their strategy was but your but your point was you think that
49:59
maybe now meis convinced himself and I'm I'm thinking this I think this decision was decided when they reached out to the
50:06
Rams if it's true that when they reached out to the Rams they knew that with a guy like him they could win with the
50:13
players that they have and I'm thinking for me if if it's me because you keept asking me what's my plan this is what I
50:19
would do I still would get a quarterback I'm I'm I'm saying I'm on board Jack Jackson Dart I would like but you're
50:26
going to have to take him higher than I I want to I don't think any of these quarterbacks are really that good this year Ward is probably the best of the
50:33
group and and I was on board with him during the summer but I don't want to I don't if I get Stafford I don't want to waste my pick with him at three because
50:40
he's so fundamentally different and he's gonna he will need some time I I would rather get a dart or a Howard but I'm
50:46
thinking get Howard get me other good players because our roster is still a little thin get me other good players
50:52
and let's maybe get another pick for next year and be ready to move next year to get whoever we want but really
50:59
Stafford gets me to where I need to go and I can still fill rosters and I can get a Young quarterback get me will
51:05
Howard in the fourth get me Abdul Carter up top or I trade down and then maybe you get a Mason Graham or we get a will
51:11
Johnson at corner or whatever uh and then I also want to get like a Cameron Williams at offensive tackle give me in
51:18
the third round or or somewhere in that range I want another tackle I can do a
51:23
lot if you get me the quarterback elsewhere and I can play with the draft because I can move around if I want to
51:29
and get a bunch of guys because there's so many guys in this draft that are like mid-tier guys that are somebody's gonna
51:36
get a lot of really good depth players but I don't want to get depth players at the top of the draft that I've heard
51:41
people um Analyze This draft in that way that they've said this is a not a great
51:47
draft but you can get you can get decent players well into the draft so in other
51:54
words this may not be a great draft to have a top 10 pick not not talking about
51:59
top three I'm saying top 10 but it may be a better draft to have a bunch of
52:04
picks in the second and third round which okay bottom line for me this because I don't want to go on too long I
52:10
want to keep this shorter bottom line is this I have not don't have a problem bringing Matthew Stafford on board as
52:16
long as we don't give up the farm on this and I think most Giants fans are in that category if we give up a lot of
52:23
picks or a a significant pick without the swapping that you're talking about
52:28
mat now man SGS has talked the same thing that you have don't think about just maybe giving up a pick maybe think
52:36
about swapping you know picks and and maybe that'll work out it be more palatable to to accept the trade if if
52:44
you're swapping picks but if we go in and we give up a second our second round pick I'm going to have a major problem
52:50
giving up which is s almost a first round draft pick to a a player that's going to play too more years in this
52:57
league in a division that right now looks on paper like we're at best we're
53:03
the third third team in the division we may get ahead of the Cowboys if Brian da
53:08
for once in his eff in life can beat the Cowboys right now Brian da for whatever reason even when when theyve got their
53:14
backup quarterback starting we can't beat we can't beat the multile times multiple times multiple times but my
53:22
concern is giving we've got this team is only going to get better if we draft better and we've got so I'm all on board
53:29
on trading down picking up picks if they are convinced that Ward or Sanders isn't
53:35
the dude do that um drop down I'm not
53:40
the question is you know at some point is is somebody like Hunter really going to turn you around maybe it's better to
53:47
get get a bunch of picks but if we're giving up our second round pick God forbid the first I don't think the first round there's no no way even a swapping
53:54
I don't don't I don't think that's even on the table but if they're doing thinking if they if they start negotiating against themselves and they
54:00
give up their second round pick I'm going to have a major major problem with this Fran if they're listening don't be
54:09
desperate with this desperate I keep saying desperate men do desperate things don't be so desperate just to be just to
54:15
be average at this point keep but if but if like you said if it's involving third and fourth round picks and they're
54:22
swapping picks and stuff like that that's more tolerable to me I I can deal with that and I think Matthew Stafford
54:29
would make us com would make this a competitive football team he's two years ago two years from
54:34
now he'll be off this roster after yeah true true do you think okay first I want to to spell one thing and and and big
54:41
fan of sigh but s put out there about Stafford's playing time over the last couple years um that was completely
54:48
inaccurate you mean the injury situation it was completely Stafford played in 16 games this year the only game he didn't
54:54
play was because they they didn't they didn't play him they just they didn't need to it was it was it was it was the
55:00
last game he played 16 the year before he played 15 so he's he's not missed a ton of time it was the year before that
55:07
that he missed a decent amount of the season but before that he played in all 17 and he still has he still has a lot
55:12
of wow games where you're like damn he can play so would you would it be a fair
55:19
statement to say that the Giants um injuries on their offensive line and the
55:24
number of offensive line combination ations this year was a big factor in how badly they played over questionably but
55:31
the big question is no no no wait wait stick with that for a second yeah unquestionably yes the Giants had 10
55:38
different starting offensive lineman this year right do you know do you know how many the Rams had well he he had a
55:44
mess they had a mess too they had 11 yeah they had a mess they had more injuries on their offensive line than
55:49
the Giants did yeah Cooper cup and pukaa neither one of them played more than than 12 games this year they both they
55:56
both Miss Tyler higgy their starting tight end played three three games so
56:01
Matthew Stafford still managed to to produce brought other people up in a in a with a team that had just as many
56:09
injuries on its offensive line as we did right whose running back combination is Kiron Williams and and Blake korm I mean
56:16
I Kiron looks like he's going to be a good guy going forward and stuff Blake corm is is totally unproven the
56:22
receivers included Tut two Atwell um included uh is it Darius Robinson I'm
56:28
trying to remember who the other guy was there's another guy I can't even remember what his name is they they they
56:34
managed and yes that some of that is coaching but the fact of the matter is Matthew Stafford still produced threw
56:40
over 20 touchdown passes almost 4,000 yards passing with a roster that was very much injured a lot and who gave the
56:47
Eagles more trouble in the playoffs the Kansas City Chiefs of the r well not and and and not just the playoffs in two
56:54
regular season games he I mean regular season and the playoffs Matt quite frankly by the way the Rams could have
57:01
easily beaten the Eagles on that last drive if they don't take a timeout if they just keep going they had their they
57:08
had the Eagles on their heels the Eagles were totally out just just falling apart and they couldn't substitute in and the
57:14
Rams were just going and then the Rams called timeout if if if Matthew Stafford was 31 years old I'd be way more excited
57:21
oh sure well yeah of course that's the issue so all right so right you I think
57:27
we can wrap this up so we've told people what what we we've heard we've talked
57:32
about the pros and cons of of this we'd like the we know this I know this is a
57:38
Hot Topic because the threads blew up my Twitter feed blew up I doubled my I I
57:43
start I just started my Twitter um feed I had it for years and I had like eight
57:49
or 9,000 followers and I started it again a few months ago and I only had like 400 followers it's jumped the 900
57:56
in just a day because people saw the tweet on this so people people want to
58:02
talk about this so so comment on the comment on the YouTube channel what your opinion is on this because this is and
58:09
will it happen What do you do you think do you think this will happen do I think or you everybody but
58:16
I'm asking you do you think this will happen yes I think I think it's GNA
58:22
happen this is I think it was already in play before the season ended I think they knew once the season ended I think
58:29
they had already talked to the Rams you don't say trade unless you knew that was a route you were really going yeah and
58:34
and we should tell everyone out there CU and I I should have S this earlier everyone who's saying well well if it's going to happen why isn't it happened
58:41
they can't do a TR right now the the trade deadline you can only start trading is it March 12th is the 10th
58:47
opens up the free tampering part it doesn't be the 12th of March tra trades
58:53
can happen like you can say we're going to trade but nothing is done until the
58:59
12th is the league year starts at 4:00 on the 12th when everything's official reagent tampering can begin on the 10th
59:06
but again none of those are official until four o'clock on the 12th but we but so trades official trade wouldn't be
59:12
till the 12th it will get agreed upon they there was a couple of Trades recently that get talked about and were
59:17
told it's going to happen at the combine I suspect that you're going to start hearing things really pick up at the
59:23
combine well and I want to throw that out there too so everyone out there who's saying Eric you're full of
59:29
[ __ ] um your sources are full of [ __ ] um I'm going to laugh your ass off when
59:37
this doesn't happen this is out there so take BBI out
59:42
of the equation right now people are talking about this so somebody it's not just the BBI thing so after I posted
59:49
this I'm not saying this happened because I posted it obviously it didn't the national sports media is talking
59:55
about about this now this scenario so it's somebody's out out there talking about this so the Rams giant thing the
1:00:03
newspapers are starting right about it the TV um the ESPN of the world are talking about it so and how how
1:00:09
interesting is it at Malik neighbors gets interviewed and he drops very specifically the Giants will get a
1:00:15
veteran and a rookie and Eli Manning said in an interview that he thinks the Giants need to bring in a veteran it
1:00:21
seems like the narrative's out there and other people know kind of that stuff's out there will this somebody said
1:00:28
somebody said that it was it was out at the senior was it the Senior Bowl was either the Senior Bowl or the Super Bowl
1:00:34
I don't remember which that Stafford was being tied with the Giants too this was posted on the website this one not so
1:00:40
this isn't coming for me I think I it was on there was talk on Super Bowl on Super Bowl row is what they call it when
1:00:46
they have all the that there was a lot of discussion that Stafford to the Giants was was a real thing take BBI out
1:00:54
of the equation take me out of the equation take my sources out of the equation it's it's out there whether
1:01:00
it's true or not I don't know and so if it happens it's going to happen in March
1:01:06
so those of you saying well that didn't go anywhere it can't happen to now the
1:01:11
it maybe get get leaked but you know it may be like John's saying it may you know that it's done they're just waiting
1:01:18
for the league year to start that may that may be what happened so right now we're we're on the 15th of February day
1:01:24
after Valentine's Day uh less than a month Stafford might be a giant so
1:01:30
that's where if it happens if it happens it's gonna H I think it's going to happen as soon as it as soon as the they
1:01:38
can do the trade this won't drag I don't think this is going to drag I I think you we will hear before the tampering
1:01:45
free agency period starts keep in mind too you're gonna want to work something like that out ahead of time and be ready
1:01:51
to go because all we're talking about as far as what can happen or not happen is legally Signed Sealed contracts are in
1:01:59
place numbers are moved and you're gonna want to know what those are as you start
1:02:04
free agency depending on who you're going to go after because you got to know what you have for cap space Because by the way the Rams and the Giants are
1:02:10
almost identical in cap space which is really weird when you consider some of the high price people that the Rams have
1:02:16
on their roster still and yet they're they actually are right around what the Giants have in cap space so this is a
1:02:22
big deal for both teams to get if or whoever to figure it out so you know
1:02:27
what you can spend in free agency and uh with that we will we'll wrap up the St thing we keep it at an hour we're at an
1:02:34
hour and uh we for for free agency just I haven't told you yet we talked about it we were gonna we're going to go live
1:02:39
on free agency the the first day of tampering I've already cleared my work schedule I've taken and this will be
1:02:45
part of it and this will be part of it so the staff for news will probably come out right when we do we're live we'll be
1:02:51
live and we'll be ready to go if we have to go live on other days I've and if I'm over here here going we gave up what you
1:02:59
well we might we might be there the we might be there you're going to say Giants f are gonna be see me doing a
1:03:05
John maror in the background with my chair you going like just throw it and
1:03:10
