At the outset of the offseason, no one knew who would be atop the New York Giants\u2019 quarterback depth chart in 2025. The job appeared wide open, with any capable arm seemingly a fit to take over.<\/p>\n

However, Giants general manager Joe Schoen has been extremely busy, signing Russell Wilson to a one-year contract and swinging a two-year deal with Jameis Winston. With former undrafted signee Tommy DeVito still on the roster, the Giants\u2019 QB rotation appeared set for the short term.<\/p>\n

Then, the 2025 NFL Draft arrived, and the Giants traded up to select Ole Miss\u2019 Jaxson Dart with the 25th overall pick in the first round. While many teams enter training camp with four quarterbacks, one of them is typically someone with little to no experience or an athlete who\u2019s never started the season on a 53-man roster.<\/p>\n

In this case, the Giants have a former Super Bowl winner, a former No. 1 overall pick, and a first-round rookie to go with a local legend. Isn\u2019t that a bit rich for one room?<\/p>\n

Bleacher Report\u2019s Moe Moton<\/a> thinks so. In fact, he suggested that maybe the Giants would be best off by trading Winston, which would still give the Giants a starter with a high floor in Wilson and another with a high ceiling in Dart. Plus, they\u2019d still have another inexpensive developmental option with DeVito. Not to mention, it would allow Winston to secure a job in a place where he may actually have a future instead of New York where he\u2019ll never be more than a backup.<\/p>\n

\u201cJameis Winston\u2019s stint in New York would be fun to watch with his personality. However, the Giants must think about the complexion of their quarterback room and how they can squeeze value out of it. Head coach Brian Daboll has\u00a0tabbed\u00a0Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback. Big Blue traded back into the first round for Jaxson Dart. Winston is in no-man\u2019s land between the team\u2019s current and potential future starting quarterbacks. The Giants should try to trade him for an early Day 3 draft pick. Winston has some value as a backup. Last year, he threw for 2,121 yards, 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 12 games (seven starts) with the Cleveland Browns.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the Giants felt like they needed Winston earlier, now they can operate from a position of power and recuperate some extra draft capital while finding a better situation for a well-liked player.<\/p>\n
