Sam Darnold finally proved himself in the 2024 season, posting career highs in multiple categories and starting a playoff game for the first time in his career. But with J.J. McCarthy set to return from a meniscus tear, Darnold finds himself searching for a new team.

Fortunately, the New York Giants also need a quarterback. They have been linked to Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders and have also shown interest in two-way player Travis Hunter.

Signing a veteran free agent would be a bold yet sensible way to provide stability for incoming sophomores Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Malik Nabers, giving them a quarterback who can reliably distribute the ball.
