Chance for Jaxson Dart, Giants to rewrite, not repeat, a team’s painful history in Philly | The Record
Jaxson Dart has been open about how the recent history of losing for the New York Giants has no bearing on the game day reality for the current team.
This is inherited Giants history for Dart, not earned, and that’s sentiment that Big Blue manifested into an upset victory over the Eagles two weeks ago.

When you lose the way the Giants did in Denver, the way no team has lost, it is incumbent upon the head coach, especially one who began the season on the hot seat, to pick up his team by the scruff of its neck and illustrate to every eye staring at him, from John Mara on down, that he is a leader worth following and keeping.
Best Rookie Pass Rusher: Abdul Carter, New York Giants. Carter is in a tier of his own when it comes to rookie pass-rushing production through the first seven weeks of the season. The No. 3 overall pick in this year’s draft leads all rookies with at least 65 pass-rushing snaps in PFF pass-rush grade (75.4), total pressures (27) and win rate (12.4%).

Here are a few things to keep in mind on [the wide receiver trade] front. One, competitors for receiver help might prove scarce. Teams often window-shop but ultimately stand pat. The Giants come to mind here. They could use help for Jaxson Dart, but multiple teams I’ve spoken to believe the Giants would prefer to keep their draft picks as a team still in transition. There’s always a surprise team lurking, and perhaps the Giants end up being that, but Pittsburgh can afford to wait this out and see who gets desperate.

Too Much PDA: New York Giants and Jaxson Dart. Brian Daboll and Jaxson Dart are that couple that is way too comfortable with PDA. They’re sitting on the same side of the booth at the restaurant. They’re making out in the back of the Uber. They eye-fuck across the party. But you know that underneath all that carnal desire there just might be actual love blooming. You can’t fake the kind of devotion Daboll showed Dart after the rookie got his first career win (and New York’s first win of the season) versus the Chargers.
And the relationship isn’t just hot and heavy. Real love proves itself in sickness and in health. Get you someone who will barge into the blue tent for you, fines be damned.
Jaxson Dart: I am a playmaker
19. Russell Wilson, QB, New York Giants. Trading Wilson would be a challenge because of the scarcity of available starting QB jobs. The Bengals had a clear opening two weeks ago but opted for Joe Flacco. The Giants could slide Jameis Winston into the No. 2 quarterback spot if they aggressively pursue a trade of Wilson. At this stage of Wilson’s career, compensation would not be steep. His days as a productive starter appear to be over. He has a trade-friendly base salary of $2 million. Predicted chance of getting traded: 10%. Team fits: Las Vegas Raiders, New Orleans Saints
25. Evan Neal, OT/G, New York Giants. This feels like an ideal time to deal away Neal, the No. 7 pick in 2022 who has been inactive all season. The Giants’ starting offensive line finally feels settled, which would make parting with Neal easier, even if for just a late-round pick swap. Teams are always looking for offensive line help. Predicted chance of getting traded: 25% Team fits: Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Chargers
NFL trade deadline 2025: Why Ravens should still buy, Jakobi Meyers could move and more | The Athletic
New York Giants: Stand pat. The Giants went into a Week 7 matchup with the Broncos with plenty of buzz about trading for a top receiver. A win in Denver would’ve only increased that chatter. But the Giants dropped to 2-5 after blowing a 19-point lead in the fourth quarter in a wild 33-32 loss. Offensively, it wasn’t all bad, and rookie Jaxson Dart found his tight ends for plenty of help. We don’t know yet if the Giants will watch the trade deadline craze from afar or if the loss will prompt selling considerations, but they were at least competitive until the end.
Veteran WR says he is trending upwards for Sunday
This week’s opponent
For just the second time since replacing Jason Kelce as the Eagles starting center at the beginning of last season, Cam Jurgens may not be healthy enough to start a game.
The Pro Bowl center left Sunday’s win over Minnesota after just two offensive series with a knee injury and he was replaced by Brett Toth. Jurgens was not on the practice field Wednesday as the Eagles started preparations for their game Sunday against the Giants at Lincoln Financial Field.
Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio has bounced between Adoree’ Jackson and Kelee Ringo as the starting outside cornerback next to Quinyon Mitchell, and Bennett could enter the mix when he returns to game action. Jackson left last week’s game with a concussion.
The Eagles traded for Bennett from the Raiders about a month before the season opener. Fangio said that he wasn’t able to get a strong evaluation of Bennett due to the limited reps. “Incomplete. I just never felt like I had a good handle on what he is and what he isn’t,” Fangio said. “I just don’t think he played enough to answer that with definitive conviction.”
Picking Each Division Winner Entering the Heart of the 2025 NFL Season | Bleacher Report
Who’ll Win It: Philadelphia. These Eagles feel a bit like the 2024 Chiefs. They aren’t executing too well on either side of the ball, but they’re a veteran team finding ways to win.
They’ve got a multiple-game lead on Dallas along with the tiebreaker at this stage, and Washington is in shambles as a result of offensive injuries and defensive inadequacies. You never know with the wild NFC East, which hasn’t had a repeat winner in 20 years. But it seems that trend will finally be bucked in 2025.
