Why ESPN's Recent Giants-Dolphins Trade Proposal Doesn't Make Sense | Sports Illustrated

SI.com's Patricia Traina opined that if the Giants were interested in adding another running back, it would be smarter for them to wait for players to clear waivers, allowing them to add guys at their price rather than at a price that wouldn't make sense for their current cap-strapped situation.

Which teams should be thinking about making a run at Baker Mayfield? | ProFootballTalk

PFT's Mike Florio makes the case the Giants should call the Browns in an attempt to make a deal.

"The new power structure didn’t pick up the fifth-year option on Daniel Jones. Although they refuse to explain it this way, they basically are betting that he won’t be good enough to make them want to apply the much pricier franchise tag in 2023. Isn’t Mayfield better and more accomplished than Jones? Yes and yes. If the Giants aren’t sold that Jones will be the guy for 2023, why not grab Mayfield now and see if he can become the future for a team that is still trying to adequately replace Eli Manning?"
