Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Giants 2023 schedule rumors: New York to face Philadelphia Eagles on Christmas Day
The NFL will announce its 2023 schedule on Thursday. There are already at least a couple of rumors regarding potential prime time or national games for the New York Giants.
The Giants and Eagles will square off on Christmas Day. That Week 16 game will be at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia beginning at 4:30 p.m. on FOX. The other Giants-Eagles clash will not be held on Black Friday, as had been previously speculated—MetLife instead will be filled up with New York Jets and Miami Dolphins fans as those two teams square off.

Why Saquon Barkley should do all he can to work out deal with Giants | New York Post
The Post’s Paul Schwartz writes:
Giants general manager Joe Schoen values Barkley for his status as a top-10 running back, his locker room presence and his “face of the franchise” loyalty and goodwill he creates. Schoen, however, is not desperate to get a deal done with Barkley. The previous two offers are off the table. A deal can get worked out. It is advisable for Barkley to make it work.

The most underrated player on all 32 NFL teams | PFF

Projecting Every 2023 1st-Round NFL Draft Pick's Year 1 Impact | Bleacher Report
Big Blue seemingly believes the hyper-athletic Banks—he ran a 4.35-second 40-yard dash and posted a 42-inch vertical leap at the combine—can be a lockdown corner in the NFL and should deploy him as such right away. He's in line to become a Week 1 starter on the outside, lining up across from Adoree' Jackson to create a formidable duo.
10 best player fits of the 2023 NFL Draft | PFF
CB Deonte Banks, New York Giants
This one fits like a glove. The Giants played more Cover 0 or Cover 1 (man coverage) than any team in the league last year. Coincidentally (or not so coincidentally) Banks is one of the top man coverage corners in the class. He was a 90th-percentile athlete in the 40-yard dash, vertical jump and broad jump at the combine, and that kind of athletic ability shows up on tape when he’s asked to guard the other team’s best receiver. He finished 2022 with an 81.8 overall coverage grade and led the team with five force incompletions in Cover 0 or Cover 1.
