Report: Giants likely to acquire 1st overall pick from Titans
 

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Multiple league sources left their meetings with the Giants this week thinking a trade for the No. 1 pick with the Tennessee Titans was likely.

Oh man being a Giants fan must be torture

Can you be happy as a titans fan hearing this?

I expect Shedeur to somehow end up in Las Vegas...

They have no choice after missing out on Stafford. It's Cam Ward, or you're likely looking for a new job in 2026.

I really hope he does. Dude is not going to be a good NFL QB, and he's definitely not worth a top 10 pick.

ive been telling every giants fan at my job that if i were them i’d punt on a QB this year and take Hunter

Glad they’re doing the exact opposite LMAO

Don’t the Titans need a QB as well?

getting paid assets to take carter/hunter instead of one of the shitty QBs? yeah if im a titans fan im thrilled

Yes, but it's a weaker draft for QBs. And they need help at other positions too.

A loss to the Colts for the Giants in week 17 would have been cheaper in the long run.

Can you be happy as a titans fan hearing this?

Yes, unless you're convinced that Ward or Sanders are the savior that was promised.

If I were a Titans fan, I'd still be pissed we overpaid for Sneed.

IF you do not like one of the two QB's that is the best option. I mean drafting the wrong QB pretty much kills a franchise for 3-5 years. Might as well build up the talent level of the team.

Being an East Coast guy, I never expected NY Sports teams to be such a mess, especially the Jets and Giants.

So mismanaged for decades.

Massive grain of salt as it may just be nonsense on the internet but seen the offers as 1.1 for 1.3 and two 3rds, Titans said no, then Giants came back with 1.3, 2025 3rd, 2026 2nd, and Thibedeoux for 1.1 and Landry.

Titans move down two spots and will at least another first round next year more than likely

Titans like Darnold better and prefer to stay in the top 3 so they're still able to pick Carter or Hunter.

Colossal mistake.

It was no secret that the Giants wanted Drake Maye last year. They called the Patriots and offered them the world to trade but the Patriots rightly took him themselves.

It’s gotta be painful being a fan of the Giants right now. Watching Saquon win a Super Bowl with your rival because your leaders elected to stupidly pay Daniel Jones and stick with him, be bad, but not bad enough to get one of the top three quarterbacks in last year’s class and watch one of your other rivals get the best rookie quarterback because they sucked just a little more than you did.

Sheesh

Yall better put some respect on Cam Ward's name.

bruh that would be insanely good for tennessee

i feel like if that second offer was made that the trade would already be done tho

They won four SBs. Being a Giants fan is actually not as bad as many other franchises who haven't won anything in the SB era (or ever for some teams).

Apparently the Giants learned nothing from the Daniel Jones shitshow, and are going to dive head-first into another QB shitshow. They're even going to give up draft capital for the privilege. LMAO

Yeah, that part is weird. Why can't they draft a QB at #3? This trade makes little sense from the Giants standpoint unless they're convinced Ward is the next Mahomes.

It could also be ownership pushing this. Some of these NFL owners are hands-on and want a specific QB drafted.

I don't think it's Mahomes, per se... but just that Ward is the clear one-one of the QB class with a big drop off after him.

Dabol and Schone are in the hopper, they are going sign a vet AND draft a rookie and hope it's enough to save their jobs.

With Malik Nabers on my fantasy team, I'm really hoping Cam Ward can at least be an upgrade over Daniel Jones and the other jokers they've been rolling out in New York.

Considering how good Daboll was in developing Allen I think this is a worthwhile gamble.

From my view, that is what big market teams do.

I watched Chicago do it over and over while living up there. It was always a choice to get their fan base fired up in the off season. I imagine NY Giants are no different.

The Titans are eying Darnold? Ew lol

Cam Ward has that alpha/it factor.

Natural leader of men, whatever cliche descriptor you want to use.

Borgonzi is literally doing the Chiefs thing, Darnold will be their Alex Smith bridge.

Clearly targeting Manning

All these projected first round quarterbacks look like busts to me.

These fools clearly haven't seen him play. We're far from Canes homers too. Maybe it doesn't work out for whatever reason, but he's 100% a worthy swing, and the only one in the draft IMO.

Ward kind of reminds me of Jameis Winston if Jameis Winston had his head screwed on straight

People that were talking shit about Reid, Mahomes, and Super Bowl ass kicking need to read this article over and over.

Don’t care either way about Cam Ward.

I care about Elijah Arroyo who looks good but might be a broke dick unfortunately

I'll pass on any QB who sits out half of a bowl game.

LMAO

He didn't even have to play in the game to begin with, but he chose to anyways. You wanted him to risk getting hurt and being the #1 overall pick for what exactly?

Ward is so far from that guy that doesn't give a shit about his teammates/winning, or whatever else you're trying to imply here. That's Sanders. Not Ward.

Lol, forgot about that.

What a shit show

A meaningless non-CFP exhibition bowl game… it was surprising he played at all.

How was it surprising? He was chasing a record, got it, then benched himself at halftime.

Lamar Jackson sat out a playoff game because he didn't want to jeopardize his next contract playing hurt.

Not saying it's Okay, but obviously Baltimore didn't hold it against him in the long run. I don't think NFL teams in 2025 are going to punish NCAA players for sitting out bowl games. That's become a common practice now for players to make these business decisions.

The plan… in coordination with the coaching staff was for him to only play in the first half.

And he didn’t have to play at all.

Greg Cooper, a RB at Miami, had his football career end in that same meaningless bowl game when he tore up his knee.

Even with the injury insurance, Cam as a likely top 5 pick had no reason to risk playing in a meaningless bowl game.

LMAO Come on. Surely you don't believe he was only playing the first half regardless of how his record chase went. He was playing to chase the Touchdown record and got it before half so he opted out at halftime.

It’s 2025 not 1986

But who gives a shit? I can promise you, not a single Hurricanes fan held it against him. He did more than enough to earn the benefit of the doubt during the season.

Anybody trying to make a big deal out of that is very out of touch. Whatever you think that means about him or his chaeacter, you're wrong.

Yes just the same as I'll take the QB that shows up in a suit over a t-shirt and shorts for his interview...

I am curious what Chicago gave up for Trubisky. I would think compensation would be similar even though Chicago jumped one less spot.

I don't know specifics, but going to hazard a guess that he's fielded more than a few questions about it during the interview process.

Pathetic. Almost as pathetic as "load management" in the NBA.

A real competitor would have insisted on being on the field with his teammates.

I hope not. Sanders is accurate but I just dont think he is special.

Ive been watching Cam Ward for a few years and he may or may not have success but he has continuously gotten better every year. He doesnt get rattled and seems very cool between the ears no matter the situation. He has a high ceiling potential

LMAO Shut the **** up. NO ONE plays in those games unless they have playoff implications. The fact that he actually DID play for a half just to chase a record is what's going to raise eyebrows.

This is so out of touch.

He played to get a record and then quit on his team in the middle of the game.

So who else was on the field with him, since NO ONE plays in those games?

So selfish AND lacking competitive drive.

Draft him at 1.1 and enjoy. LMAO

If the Eagles don't make the playoffs, do you not think Saquon plays for the record week 18? Does he not immediately go the bench after he does?

It's the ultimate nothingburger, and there's a reason nobody is brining it up in the draft discourse.

He didn't quit on his ****ing team. Not a single fan, player, coach, etc. feels that's what happened. JFC there are so many clueless idiots on this board it's unbelievable.

Do you scream at the sky when some QBs dont throw at the Combine and wait for their Pro Days to do so?

Okay. The car insurance salesman and grocery baggers on the teams play. Players with aspirations to play in the NFL typically aren't playing in the Pop Tart or Cheez It Bowls.

Nope, not that it has anything to do with this discussion.

Sure it does. Its a new day and these players are making business decisions. It is related

What’s his NFL player comparison?

I like the Big Ben comparison in terms of ceiling.

Ugh. Glad we’re well past that stage.

Yeah, I expected Cam Ward to go #1 for a while now.

Watch 3 years from now Sanders is pretty good and Ward is just OK with some other later drafted QB being the best of the class.

No telling how these QB's will pan out.

If he's the next Big Ben, that's a great pick up for the Giants

OTC wrote an article about this scenario and the expected compensation based on historical trades for top QBs (always overpay the trade charts). They said to expect #3, #34 and a 2026 1st and 3rd for the move to #1.

I think Tennessee should take the shot on Ward themselves, but I can see if they don't. Next year's class is far better, and the overall capital to rebuild that roster will be really handy.

Trading from #1 to #3 still nets them either Carter or Hunter.

I don't see them trading to #7 with the Jets and not guaranteeing themselves the "generational prospect" that Borgonzi alluded to.

Great Arm, Poise. Instinctive.

I can see some Big Ben/Justin Herbert , but smaller.


Has the athletic profile of Geno.

If you think he's the guy, do it. What ****ed that team was paying Danny when they knew he was middling at best. Don't ever pay a QB unless he's top 5 or has POTENTIAL to get there. Anything else just destroys your team.

That was the Giants owner.


He thought of Daniel Jones as his son.

Big mistake.

Ahh man I really hoped they would do sometimes monumentally stupid and sign Rodgers

That is the plan if they can't complete the trade.

It worked alright with Manning.
