Some in the league have wondered whether the Arizona #Cardinals might not hang up the phone if a call came in about what it would cost to pry Kyler Murray away. That + Cousins’ fluid situation adds more intrigue & potentially more options www.nydailynews.com/2025/03/07/w...

Would #Giants GM Joe Schoen be desperate if he traded for Matthew Stafford — or would it be a shrewd way to simply build the best possible team by clearing a path to Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter at No. 3? www.nydailynews.com/2025/02/24/g...
Would Joe Schoen be desperate or shrewd if a Matthew Stafford trade let him pick Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter at No. 3?
The Giants need everything, not just quarterbacks. They need a corner, a wide receiver, a safety, more offensive linemen, more defensive linemen, another running back — name it.
