Louis Riddick Puts Giants On Notice About Upcoming Season

The New York Giants put an emphasis on solving their quarterback situation this offseason.

They wanted to get Matthew Stafford, but he stayed with the Los Angeles Rams.

Then, after considering a run at Aaron Rodgers, they signed Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson and drafted Jaxson Dart.

Given their current situation, perhaps rolling with Dart wouldn’t be the worst idea, even if it comes midway through the season.

Unfortunately, that’s not something the Giants brass might be able to afford right now.

Analyst Louis Riddick recently said no one but the owner is safe in New York, so the Giants will be under a lot of pressure to get back to the playoffs this year.

“Everybody seems to be getting along like it’s summertime, everybody’s in a good mood, but there’s a lot on the line for the Giants. There’s a lot on the line for everyone. Outside of the owner, everyone’s up for review in New York once 2026 rolls around. It’s all fun and games now, but there’s a lot going on for this football team, and they better have it right,” Riddick said, via NFL on ESPN.

Brian Daboll got the Giants to the playoffs in his first year as head coach, but they’ve regressed significantly the past two years.

General manager Joe Schoen has made his fair share of questionable decisions, including letting Saquon Barkley go and keeping Daniel Jones, who’s not with the team anymore.

The Giants have a solid defense and drafted a potential generational player in Abdul Carter, so they should be in a position to keep games close more often than not.

Then again, they play in one of the most competitive divisions in the NFC, and though Wilson likely will be an upgrade at quarterback over Jones, it might not be enough to get over the hump and save some jobs.
