The New York Giants are available in the market for quarterbacks this offseason, each for the short- and long-term.
One participant who will probably be out there in free company subsequent month may match each of these roles — former Bears and Steelers quarterback Justin Fields.
FOX Sports activities has the 26-year-old Fields rated fourth amongst free agent quarterbacks this offseason.
The Steelers teaching workers had Fields make sensible, snappy choices of their offense. Consequently, his interception share dropped from 2.4% in 2023 to 0.6% in 2024. He had the best completion share (65.8) and quarterback ranking (93.3) of his profession. It’s nonetheless form of foggy whether or not Mike Tomlin made the precise resolution to bench Fields and switch issues over to Russell Wilson, who fizzled out on the finish of the yr. If the 25-year-old Fields doesn’t return to Pittsburgh as QB1, one other crew will see the best way the Steelers reset his fundamentals. He’s nonetheless a undertaking, however the bones are good.
How do the Giants slot in? ESPN’s Benjamin Solak believes the enhancing Fields could be a match for the Giants and head coach Brian Daboll, who has had success in growing operating quarterbacks.

The Giants may nonetheless draft a quarterback and even add one other skilled starter to their room however this concept seems to make sense.
Provided that it really works, that’s. If it fails, it will likely be simply be one other swing and a miss for basic supervisor Joe Schoen.
