Now that the NFL Draft is drawing near, there are a lot of rumors circulating. Many quarterbacks are expected to be selected in the first round, and the New York Giants are associated with players like JJ McCarthy, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels. A previous general manager, nevertheless, gives his reasoning for not believing the team will choose a quarterback with the sixth overall pick.
Former Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman says the Giants can’t draft a quarterback a year after giving Daniel Jones a $81 million contract during an interview with Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Joe Schoen would probably be unable to defend those choices, according to Spielman.
Former Vikings general manager Rick Spielman believes the Giants cannot possibly convince ownership that they will select a QB with a top-6 pick after having just paid Daniel Jones $81 million in fully guaranteed salary just a year prior. “Right now, I’m pushing my chips in the middle.”
If the front office decides to part ways with Daniel Jones soon after offering him a fully guaranteed $81 million contract, it will be a difficult look. Thus, it seems natural that Rick Spielman is apprehensive about the rookie quarterbacks and Giants rumors. In addition, New York now has Jones, Tommy DeVito, and Drew Lock after acquiring him through free agency.
