New York Giants news for Friday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
Giants’ brass chooses Washington over North Carolina in dueling pro days
Most of the Giants’ decision makers and offensive staff are instead in Seattle Washington for the Huskies’ pro day. Giants’ GM Joe Schoen, assistant GM Brandon Brown, head coach Brian Daboll, director of player personnel Tim McDonnell, offensive coordinator Mike Kafka, QB coach Shae Tierney, and wide receivers coach Mike Groh were all on hand for the Washington Pro Day, mainly to watch QB Michael Penix, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network.
NFL scouts on ground at @UW_Football reporting to us that QB Michael Penix ran 4.51-4.57 range on multiple ⏱️. He also posted 36.5 VJ and 10-5 BJ.
All three numbers are better than any QB that tested at Combine. @themikepenix is only QB of “Big Six” potential first-rounders… pic.twitter.com/RvLoQiUdWH

Wide receiver Rome Odunze didn’t work out, but he said that he visited the Giants just after the combine.

New York Giants: C-minus. Deonte Banks (No. 24) was a fun watch coming out of college and as a rookie showed the speed, physicality and competitive edge that made him a late riser in the draft process. Jalin Hyatt (No. 73) flashed some downfield ball-tracking skills, but he didn’t separate enough last season to be considered a long-term piece of this offense.

22) Brian Daboll, New York Giants Regular-season record: 15-18-1 (.456)
Winner of the NFL’s 2022 Coach of the Year award, Brian Daboll went through it in 2023. Daniel Jones missed several games with a concussion before suffering a season-ending torn ACL, and the Giants were eventually forced to roll with undrafted free agent QB Tommy DeVito under center. Daboll’s sideline blowups became a talking point, while his turbulent relationship with DC Wink Martindale eventually led to the latter’s resignation.

Best landing spots for the top 20 remaining NFL free agents | PFF
8. S Julian Blackmon, Indianapolis Colts to the Giants. Blackmon appears to be a better fit near the line of scrimmage due to his average recovery speed, but his plus lateral movement and solid ball skills from his days as a cornerback show up more often when closer to the line of scrimmage. Blackmon’s 30 defensive stops in 2023 were more than his career total before this season, and he missed a career-low 7.4% of tackle opportunities.

Burns is now the second-highest-paid edge-rusher in the league in terms of average annual salary. He makes more per season than T.J. Watt of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns. His cap hit will spike to almost $30 million in 2025.
And that 12.5-sack 2022 season is the only time Burns has hit double digits.
