Aaron Rodgers faces realistic pre-draft deadline | NJ.com

But three days before the draft begins, on April 21, the Steelers and Giants will both begin their spring workout programs. You’d think Rodgers would like to make a decision by then — at least if you’re looking at this situation logically — because he’d need the spring to get acclimated with his new team.

So April 21 — more than a month away — is a deadline of sorts. And then the start of the draft, three days later, is a firmer deadline.

Chris Long would choose Giants over Steelers if he were Aaron Rodgers | USAToday.com

Former two-time Super Bowl champion Chris Long recently said on his podcast, Green Light with Chris Long, that if he were Rodgers, he’d choose the Giants over the Steelers at this point.

“No offense to the Steelers, but this is not your typical Steelers team,” said Long. “They don’t have a dominant defense unless it becomes a dominant defense in the offseason here. … The offense isn’t anything that you get excited about, although they’ve been working on it. You lose (running back) Najee Harris, depending on how you feel about that. (Jaylen) Warren’s your guy. I’d rather be in New York, I think, because of the division you’re in and because of the upside of having a number one receiver.”

Keep Rodgers in New York and send him from the Jets’ locker room to the Giants’ digs inside MetLife Stadium. He is experienced at dealing with the New York media and could play the rare role of single-season hero for a Giants team that simply needs something better than what it’s gotten out of the QB position since Eli Manning retired after the 2019 season. That bar is incredibly low, and Rodgers would clear it if he could replicate his performance from the back end of 2024.

The last time Winston started 16 or more games, he became one of nine quarterbacks in NFL history to throw for 5,000 yards. Those yards came with 33 touchdowns. (OK, I know we’re in the “pros” section, but I feel obligated to mention those 33 TDs also came with a breathtaking 30 interceptions, as the Bucs went 7-9 and missed the playoffs.)

After leaving Tampa, Winston spent four seasons in New Orleans before playing 2024 in Cleveland. With the Browns, Winston started seven games — his most since 2021 — and threw for 2,121 yards and 13 touchdowns. (Again, I must mention that he also threw 12 interceptions and went 2-5 as a starter.)

2025 NFL Free Agency: 5 most improved units | PFF

New York Giants: Secondary. The Giants had the sixth-worst coverage grade in the NFL last year and emphasized fixing that through free agency, signing safety Jevon Holland and cornerback Paulson Adebo to deals totaling nearly $100 million. Adebo is coming off a bit of a down season but in 2023, he was one of the 15 highest-graded and most valuable cornerbacks according to PFF’s wins-above-replacement metric.

Three Remaining Free Agents Giants Should Consider | SI.com

WR Stefon Diggs is already familiar with the offensive scheme, having spent two seasons with Dabboll in Buffalo. Under Dabboll as the offensive coordinator, Diggs became one of the best receivers in the league.

Before suffering a season-ending ACL injury last season, he recorded six consecutive seasons with over 1,000 yards and never caught less than six touchdowns in a season in that stretch. He currently has a market value of $13.7 million annually, according to Spotrac. However, he will be 32 next season and may not be back in time for Week 1. He could receive a contract below his market value.

One thing we heard: Paulson Adebo on now being considered a No. 1 cornerback: “I embrace it. That’s why they brought me in here.”

Predicting the fifth-year option decisions for every 2022 NFL first-round draft pick | PFF

Pick No. 5 — Edge Kayvon Thibodeaux, New York Giants: Picked Up. Thibodeaux may not be an elite edge defender, but he’s still turned into a solid pass rusher. Even in an injury-shortened 2024, Thibodeaux churned out 38 pressures on a 14.2% pass-rush win rate, performing better than in each of his first two years. Considering that Azeez Ojulari signed with the Eagles, reports of Thibodeaux’s option being picked up make additional sense, although this won’t be an easy call.

R1 P3: Armand Membou OT, Missouri. Whoever is eventually the starter for the Giants in 2025 will need to be better protected than past quarterbacks in the Brian Daboll era. Membou is a powerful blocker with elite testing numbers.
