2024 NFL offensive line rankings ahead of Week 11 | PFF
The Giants moved Jermaine Eluemunor to left tackle and had former first-round pick Evan Neal start at right tackle for the first time this season. Neal put forth an encouraging performance in the loss to the Panthers, garnering a 93.4 PFF run-blocking grade that ranked second among all offensive tackles in the NFL this week.
Since Week 2, guard Jon Runyan has allowed a knockdown — sack or quarterback hit — on just 0.5% of pass plays, which is tied for the 14th-best rate among 73 qualifying guards.
The Athletic’s Dianna Russini: Signs point to Jones continuing to be the starter
“In the conversations that I’ve had, Daniel Jones may be staying as the starting quarterback here for a few more weeks.” @DMRussini on the latest she is hearing about the New York Giants quarterback positions.

1 Stat That Defines Every NFL Team’s Season | Bleacher Report
New York Giants: 8. Touchdown passes from Daniel Jones in 10 games, putting him on pace to throw 15 or fewer touchdown passes for a fifth year in a row. This year, only Deshaun Watson and Jacoby Brissett (both benched) have lower qualified TD pass rates. He’s not the answer, people.
Giants on track for historically bad interception drought | New York Post
It has been nine games since the Giants’ one and only interception of the season — made by rookie linebacker Darius Muasau in the meaningless final three minutes of a season-opening 22-point loss to the Vikings.
The 2017 Raiders defense set the modern NFL record (since 1933) by going 10 straight games — a span of 357 passes — without an interception, according to Elias Sports Bureau. One year later, the 49ers and Cardinals each endured an eight-game drought that has been eclipsed by the Giants, who will return from this week’s bye trying to avoid tying dubious history Nov. 24 against the Buccaneers.
2025 NFL Free Agents Playing Their Way Into Big Contracts | The 33rd Team
Darius Slayton, WR, New York Giants Projected AAV: $17 million/year
Slayton turns 28 in January, so he’s not the youngest receiver on the market. However, you can expect that teams will be chasing Slayton’s upside with the hope of pairing him with a true No. 1 receiver on a good offense. With Jerry Jeudy earning a $17.5 million contract last offseason, look for Slayton’s numbers to be similar.

The 12 NFL teams that could have new starting quarterbacks in 2025 | The Athletic
Potential 2025 starting quarterback: Cam Ward
It’s over for Jones in New York. The Giants tried to draft his replacement this past offseason but couldn’t move up and decided against selecting the likes of Michael Penix Jr., J.J. McCarthy or Bo Nix, all of whom were still on the board when New York picked wide receiver Malik Nabers at No. 6. Right or wrong, the Giants now have no choice but to draft a quarterback, and at the moment, they are in prime position to do it.
NFL Mock Draft 2025: Travis Hunter, Shedeur Sanders go 1-2 | Sporting News
2. New York Giants 2-8. Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
Daniel Jones’ rollercoaster ride with coach Brian Daboll keeps going back down for stretches after limited peaks. Jones’ work and the Giants’ struggles might lead to Daboll not returning, but whoever’s in charge of the offense would lobby to replace Jones with Sanders. The Colorado star is separating himself from other QBs as the most polished pocket passer, one who can fit right into the Giants’ youth movement vibe with WR Malik Nabers, RB Tyrone Tracy Jr., and TE Theo Johnson.
2025 NFL draft: Six-team race for No. 1 pick, top prospects | ESPN.com
What could they do with the top pick? I like the fit for Miami quarterback Cam Ward. With Jones not likely to start for the Giants next season (and perhaps not with the team at all), New York will be searching for its new franchise signal-caller. Ward is an electric playmaker who can create and make all the throws. Daboll could help him develop over time and limit his decision-making mistakes.
