Giants news, 8/28: Tommy DeVito a Patriot, Joe Schoen, Dexter Lawrence, more headlines

Good morning, New York Giants fans!

Five Takeaways From Giants Training Camp | SI.com

The optimism here starts, interestingly enough, with the quarterback room. I’ll admit I was skeptical on how Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and a highly drafted rookie (wound up being Jaxson Dart) would coalesce when this started to come together in March. By all accounts, Wilson’s been good thus far in being a vocal leader in the meeting room and on the practice field, setting the bar as far as preparation, work ethic and the overall level of expectation. Winston’s personality and experience have been a nice complement to Wilson’s…and Dart’s soaking everything up—and is everything the Giants expected him to be thus far. So how will it look on the field? Wilson seems energized by the coaches’ buy-in on him, and Brian Daboll’s building an offense to lean into what he does well, in an effort to get him playing fast with the ball coming out quickly. As for Dart, there is some carryover in what the staff is building for Wilson, and what it’ll look like whenever the rookie takes over, be it at some point this year or next. All of this, of course, has to come together on the field, and the Giants feel good about that happening.

Joe Schoen: Dart has “a lot of room for growth”

Stock up, stock down for rookies after the 2025 NFL preseason | PFF

Stock Up: QB Jaxson Dart, New York Giants. Russell Wilson will be the Week 1 starter for the Giants, and likely continue in that role until he falters or New York falls out of contention. However, first-rounder Jaxson Dart made things interesting with his outstanding performance this preseason.

Dart’s 88.5 PFF passing grade across three outings led all rookies and ranked second among all qualifiers. His penchant for vertical completions and making throws under pressure both showed up often. Dart is far more likely to see playing time in the regular season than he was a month ago.

Overall thoughts: The only two logical places to drop Dart into the 2025 season are on the road in Week 5 against the Saints and after the team’s very late bye in Week 14. Of course, something could happen in practice that showcases Dart’s superiority to Russell Wilson and the change could be made organically, but that’s how I came up with 13 starts. I think Dart will have a kind of Carson Wentz–y rookie season, which means a lot of really cool pocket evasions, with some big throws downfield and, sure, a couple of head-scratchers in between. I also think that, like Wentz, Dart will have his own kind of offense that runs at a different pace and style that may help make the Giants carve out an advantage against overmatched opponents.

Winston is the ultimate character. You never quite know what he’s going to say or do. Wilson is much more predictable. He’s the buttoned-up veteran beaming with optimism and serious about his business. Dart is the young first-round pick overflowing with aura. It’s quite the mix of backgrounds and personalities all deeply invested in the others’ success.

“It’s a really fun room to be a part of because it’s super competitive that way,” Dart said. “We have an amazing relationship between all of us. It’s definitely fun. We’re all each other’s biggest fans when we’re on the field.”

Orlovsky: Dart’s skills showed in preseason

27. New York Giants. Quarterback: Jaxson Dart, Running back: Tyrone Tracy Jr., Pass catcher: Malik Nabers

Yes, I’m aware Russell Wilson is the starting quarterback. No, I don’t think that will remain the case all season. Frankly, given the Giants’ brutal schedule — which carries the highest opponent 2024 win percentage in the league — I’ll be surprised if Jaxson Dart isn’t QB1 by Halloween. The first-round pick didn’t light the league on fire in the preseason, but he definitely showed promise. More importantly, Brian Daboll demonstrated the ability to meld college concepts into his scheme, giving the rookie the kind of easy-button throws that’ll smooth his transition into the NFL. And most importantly, this is a critical season for Daboll and Joe Schoen, considering owner John Mara stated that he’s “just about run out of patience” when he announced in January that the coach and general manager would be back in 2025. If the rookie quarterback displays competence alongside second-year pros Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Malik Nabers, the youth movement could be this regime’s lifeline to 2026 and beyond.

2025 NFL bold predictions: Potential surprises for 32 teams | ESPN.com

Don’t be surprised if … the Giants lead the league in sacks.

What I’m hearing: Word out of Giants camp is Abdul Carter is everything the team believed him to be when it made him the third pick in this year’s draft. Adding Carter to a defensive front that already features Brian Burns, Dexter Lawrence II and Kayvon Thibodeaux should give the Giants one of the more fearsome and tireless pass rushes in the entire NFL. The defense up front should be the team’s strength, and it could be enough to propel the Giants to a few surprise wins against their tough-looking schedule — especially if they can generate turnovers and give the offense some short fields. New York tied for eighth in sacks last season with 45.
