Just because the New York Giants aren’t sharing their long-term plans doesn’t mean they have one. And honestly, a lot of people are still scratching their heads over their moves. The biggest head-scratcher of this offseason? They brought in Russell Wilson on a one-year deal, signed Jameis Winston too, and still have Tommy DeVito hanging around. So clearly, Brian Daboll‘s team is still hunting for a young quarterback.

On top of that, they need help in defense. Sure, they added some veterans, but Dexter Lawrence needs more than just warm bodies next to him. Those are obvious holes they need to fill. But that’s not all that’s buzzing in New York right now – three upcoming decisions from the franchise have their fans completely shook.

According to the 49ers & NFL News 24/7 page on X, per Adam Schefter, players like Edge Kayvon Thibodeaux, OL Evan Neal, and WR Jalin Hyatt were on rookie contracts. And now, they could be traded during or after the draft.

Thibodeaux, once a top-five draft pick and still just 25, is now being shopped around before the draft. Why? Well, as per the reports, it’s all because the team might not be able to afford him once Dexter Lawrence and Brian Burns get their new deals. It’s even worse knowing they’re unsure about picking up his fifth-year option, which kind of screams trouble. Some think he could fetch multiple picks. On the other hand, others throw around embarrassing lowball offers, but right now, it’s just a lot of noise.

Meanwhile, the Giants‘ offensive line finally looks steady heading into camp, with Andrew Thomas healing and new faces ready to step in, but Neal’s story is a tough one. Once a can’t-miss prospect is now a guy without a real spot. He is barely clinging to a future in New York unless something changes fast.

And as if the drama wasn’t enough, Hyatt, who had so much hope around him last year, got buried behind new faces like Malik Nabers, Wan’Dale Robinson, and Darius Slayton. His future is uncertain, with nothing but a quiet “we’ll see” to show for it, and honestly, for a team that needs every spark it can get, that’s just hard to take.

So, all in all, the Giants might be trading up for these players before or after the draft. But the question is: who will suit up to trade for them in Russell Wilson’s team? Meanwhile, the puzzling decisions don’t end here.

Russ and Daboll: What’s the game plan now?

Moving forward, besides Kayvon Thibodeaux, Evan Neal, and Jalin Hyatt, Russell Wilson’s Giants are taking another surprising decision. Brian Daboll and the team are walking into the 2025 NFL Draft with a lot of noise around that No. 3 pick. For months, fans thought it was locked in. They needed a quarterback, and Shedeur Sanders seemed like the perfect fit after a monster season in Colorado.

But then came free agency, and the Giants pulled in Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston. With this, they threw the whole plan into chaos. Now, there’s talk they might pass on Sanders altogether and take Penn State’s Abdul Carter instead, who is the best defensive player on the board. But they’re not stopping there.

According to the reports, they could trade back into the first round and give up a few picks. In this way, they could snag Alabama’s Jalen Milroe. This 22-year-old is a crazy fast, electric quarterback who’s still rough around the edges. His journey at Alabama has been a rollercoaster. One moment, he’s the hero, like when he led the Tide to a huge win over LSU in 2024. Next, he’s struggling, as seen in the tough ReliaQuest Bowl loss to Michigan.

His passing stats weren’t pretty in his final year—64.3% completion and 11 picks—far from the heights he reached before. But here’s the thing: he’s a game-changer with his legs. Milroe rushed for 726 yards and 20 touchdowns, proving he’s one of the most dynamic quarterbacks out there. So, yeah, it’s a risk, no doubt.

But with Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston holding the line, they might have time to let Milroe grow into the guy they need. However, the real drama is: How much are the Giants willing to give up to make it happen?
