Giants Exploring QB Options? Stafford, Murray Rumors & Key Offseason Moves

The New York Giants offseason is heating up with major rumors and key moves shaping the team's future. Reports indicate that the Los Angeles Rams have granted Matthew Stafford permission to speak with other teams, and the Giants are among those showing interest. With Stafford's contract situation in flux, a trade isn't out of the question. Jordan Raanan revealed that New York previously inquired about Stafford's availability at last year’s trade deadline, and if the Rams can't find a financial compromise, the possibility of Stafford in a Giants uniform could become real. Meanwhile, speculation around Kyler Murray’s future in Arizona suggests the Cardinals might look to move on from their former first overall pick. If they decide to sell high, the Giants could be a potential landing spot as they continue evaluating their quarterback options.  

On the coaching front, the Giants have hired former NFL running back Ladell Betts as their new running backs coach. Betts has been coaching at Iowa since 2021, where he helped develop standout Kaleb Johnson into an All-American. His connection to the Ferentz coaching tree adds another layer to Brian Daboll’s growing staff. The Giants hope Betts can elevate the team's backfield, which could be in flux depending on offseason moves.  

In other Giants news, Plaxico Burress’ Super Bowl ring was recently sold for a staggering $280,000, making it the second-highest price ever paid for a Super Bowl ring. Certification from Burress himself indicates that he sold the ring last November. The high price tag shows just how significant that championship moment was for Giants fans and collectors alike.  

As free agency approaches, NFL Wire has predicted that the Giants should target Trey Smith, the standout offensive lineman from Kansas City. The interior offensive line remains a major concern, and signing Smith could help stabilize the unit while allowing Jermaine Eluemunor to stay at right tackle. If a bidding war drives Smith's price too high, Will Fries could be a more affordable fallback option. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Falcons have been linked to Giants edge rusher Azeez Ojulari, who could be on the move in free agency.  

Another major draft storyline is unfolding as Shedeur Sanders has announced he won’t throw at the NFL Combine, instead focusing on interviews with teams and waiting for Colorado’s Pro Day to showcase his arm. This decision could impact the quarterback landscape as teams evaluate their draft boards.  

With all these developments, the Giants have no shortage of crucial decisions to make. Will they pursue Stafford or another veteran quarterback? Could they invest heavily in the offensive line? And how will their new coaching hires shape the team in 2025? Drew and Rob break down all the latest Giants news, rumors, and offseason speculation in this must-watch episode of 2 Giants Goofballs.
