New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen keeps insisting he’s exploring every possible option to find a quarterback, but at this point, he might be digging even deeper than that. The Giants quickly went from pursuing Matthew Stafford to considering Mason Rudolph in record time. How did it come to this?
Schoen has been patiently waiting on Aaron Rodgers, hoping the four-time MVP would pick New York over Minnesota or retirement. But that decision remains in limbo, hanging over the team like an unresolved cliffhanger. In the meantime, they’ve reached out to Russell Wilson, Joe Flacco, and Jameis Winston.
And now? Even Mason Rudolph is turning them down.
This isn’t just about whether Rudolph would have been a good fit (he likely wouldn’t have been). It’s about how the Giants’ quarterback search has become so desperate that they’re getting rejected by career backups. While the rest of the league focuses on 2025, Schoen is scrambling, getting ignored on Zoom calls.
The worst part? The quarterback market has already dried up. The Tennessee Titans are expected to keep the No. 1 pick, free agency’s top options are gone, and if the Giants miss out on Rodgers, their best hope is that Russell Wilson or Jameis Winston is still available. That’s their plan?
With each passing day, the Giants’ quarterback situation somehow reaches a new low. The only question now is—how much worse can it get?
