Just a week ago, the New York Giants found themselves with a single quarterback on their roster. Fast forward to today and they’ve added two heavyweights: Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. But does this mean they’ve closed the door on selecting a quarterback in the upcoming draft? The answer might be more complicated than you think.

With the addition of Wilson, who boasts a hefty $10.5 million guaranteed for 2025, and Winston, whose contract includes $4 million guaranteed, the Giants are now positioned to make a strategic play. It’s expected that they will bring in a fourth quarterback for offseason workouts or training camp. The real intrigue lies in whether they will pursue a franchise quarterback with their third overall pick or use their second pick in the second round.

Many analysts suggest that the Giants won’t be looking at prospects like Shedeur Sanders with their high draft pick. However, this could be just a smoke screen intended to throw off rival teams eager to jump ahead of them in the draft lineup. After all, if it appeared that they only had Winston and Tommy DeVito, it would be clear that they were in the market for a rookie quarterback. Now, with Wilson on board, other teams might hesitate to assume the Giants' intentions.

It offers a fascinating strategic dilemma: the Giants could draft a young quarterback while potentially cutting Winston afterward, which would free up his cap space for future signings. Cuts can be a double-edged sword, but with Winston’s potential exit, the Giants may still manage to secure a rookie talent without losing much financially.

The real crux of the matter also raises the stakes for the Giants. With the pressure on for a playoff-worthy performance from general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll in 2025, having two established veterans while still being able to add a young arm could represent the best of both worlds.

In conclusion, don’t write off the Giants as potential players in the rookie quarterback landscape just yet. Whether they decide to draft a promising new talent or rely on their seasoned veterans, one thing is clear: the road ahead is looking more strategic than ever, and the draft just got a lot more interesting!
