The quarterback situation in New York feels anything but settled.
The New York Giants missed out on Matthew Stafford early in free agency, but did finally sign a second quarterback to join Tommy DeVito in the QB room, veteran Jameis Winston. He did enough last year in Cleveland to earn a two-year, $8 million contract with the NFC East team, but reports suggest he’s still not their top target.
This does not change the #Giants’ pursuit of Aaron Rodgers or alter any other possible QB routes. Just getting a veteran QB under contract in a QB room that only had Tommy DeVito coming into the day. https://t.co/Rx6JruWVCa

Aaron Rodgers just took his first free agency visit on Friday with the Steelers, but after six hours, didn’t sign a deal before leaving. Now, the Giants will continue their pursuit of the quarterback, all while NFL draft prospect Shadeur Sanders continues to wear New York gear.
The Giants really seem to have no firm plan for their QB position, and their approach to figuring it out feels very chaotic. Roster building for an expensive veteran versus a top draft pick on a rookie contract would be very different, so it’s interesting (and a little funny) that Joe Schoen is so willing to continue chasing Rodgers.
Honestly, none of these players moves the needle enough to think that the Eagles’ division opponent is any more competent in 2025 than they’ve been over recent years. But for now, Jameis Winston is at least one guy with considerable NFL experience in that QB room.
