Giants Targeting These 6 QBs to Replace Jaxson Dart: Report
The Giants are working the phones to find a replacement for the injured Jaxson Dart, with six quarterbacks reportedly in the mix.
The New York Giants are actively seeking a replacement for their star quarterback, Jaxson Dart, who will miss the remainder of the season due to a severe knee injury. ESPN's Tom Pelissero revealed that the team has been calling around, with six quarterbacks currently being eyed for the starting position: Mac Jones, J.J. McCarthy, Spencer Rattler, Justin Fields, Joe Milton, and Jimmy Garoppolo.
Among the six, Rattler and McCarthy are seen as the riskiest options, given their limited experience starting in previous seasons. Meanwhile, Fields stands out as a promising choice, boasting a resume as a dual-threat quarterback, having rushed for over 1,000 yards in a single season with the Bears in 2022.
Jones, a veteran with previous starting experience, could also be a viable option. However, his success might be contingent on the preference of his current head coach, Kyle Shanahan. Garoppolo, on the other hand, would be a free agent, while Milton is a cheaper alternative, currently on the Cowboys' practice squad.
Ultimately, the Giants will likely weigh the cost and talent potential of each candidate as they attempt to secure a reliable backup and maintain their playoff chances without Dart.
