Dan Campbell gives the Giants a lot of credit for helping the Lions find themselves this season | AZSports.com

That might seem like a forgotten thing now for fans of both teams, but to Dan Campbell, that was a really important few days that the Lions needed and has helped them be the team they are today.

“I felt like the biggest adjustment for us was training camp out at New York, you know, that was the first real taste of, you know, kind of the perception. And, you know, I thought the Giants man, they practiced hard, they brought it, you know, it was a lot of energy, a lot of juice. And I thought that was good for us to get that and it’s like now, you know what it’s going to be like all season, and we’ve handled it. I mean, we handle it well. We know we’re going to get everybody’s best shot.”

Who will be the Giants’ QB1 in 2025? Sam Darnold? Justin Fields? Shedeur Sanders? | The Athletic

The goal for the Giants should be to find this year’s version of Mayfield and Darnold rather than paying market price for Darnold off a season that may not be replicable if he returns to New York. Justin Fields has the most similarities to Mayfield and Darnold as a talented prospect who didn’t thrive at his first stop. It’s easy to pick apart the flaws in Fields’ game, just as one could have done with Mayfield and Darnold before their breakthroughs. But Fields is a former top pick with physical tools who has experienced some success as a dual-threat quarterback despite limitations as a passer. There could be untapped potential in Fields waiting to be realized in the right situation.

Giants Sign QB Russell Wilson to a Multi-Year Deal.

Aaron Rodgers? Sam Darnold? Russell Wilson? Identifying starters for 11 QB-needy teams | FOX Sports

The Giants really blew it by beating the Colts in Week 17, which cost them the No. 1 pick in the draft and the young quarterback of their choice. Instead, they slipped to No. 3, which might be too low to get one of the top two quarterbacks and too high to pick a third option.

Russell Wilson, though, has long had an interest in playing in New York and even paid a visit to the Giants at the start of free agency last March. While he’s not a long-term option, and certainly hasn’t played like he’s in his prime anymore, the 36-year-old could bring some consistency to the position for the Giants — something they haven’t had in a while.
