Joe Schoen: People assume Giants will draft a QB but we have other needs

New York Giants GM Joe Schoen provided the latest example of this dynamic, telling Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer that despite speculation Big Blue could draft a QB, he’s not married to that idea. Schoen cited their previous work on quarterbacks to dismiss the fact that their interest in signal-callers during this draft cycle is anything out of the ordinary.
“We don’t wanna be up here again — we don’t want to be picking in the top 10,” he told Breer. “We have multiple needs. We are going into Year 3. People assume we’re going quarterback, but we have other needs. If the quarterbacks go 1–4, then we’re getting the second-best position player, not quarterback, at six, which is OK, too. That player will really help us. Even last year, our quarterback coach was at the C.J. Stroud workout. We spent a lot of time with Will Levis, Anthony Richardson.
Giants sign DT Jordan Phillips
Giants are signing veteran free agent DT Jordan Phillips today, source said. The former Bills DT has some familiar faces in the NYG building.
A deal in the works for some time, NYG adds a key piece to their D-line prior to the draft.
Brady open to coming back if needed
Legendary quarterback Tom Brady is open to coming out of retirement to play in the NFL again if the right team calls.
“I’m not opposed to it,” the seven-time Super Bowl champion said in the latest episode of the “DeepCut with VicBlends” podcast hosted by Victor Fontanez.
Fontanez mentioned the San Francisco 49ers as a hypothetical landing spot for Brady, who brought up two other teams.
“(The New England) Patriots, it could be the (Las Vegas) Raiders, you never know,” he said.
“I don’t know if they’re going to let me if I become an owner in the NFL,” Brady continued. “I’m always going to be in good shape, always be able to throw the ball. So, to come in for a little bit like MJ coming back, I don’t know if they let me, but I wouldn’t be opposed to it.”
