John Harbaugh ultimately made his firm call on naming J.J. McCarthy as the New York Giants starting quarterback over Jameis Winston for the 2026 season. Winston struggled to create scores against New Orleans’ defense on Oct. 18, completing 14 out of 26 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown and two interceptions. They trailed 27-10 […] The post Giants HC John Harbaugh’s J.J. McCarthy plan says it all about Jameis Winston’s shortcomings appeared first on ClutchPoints .
ESPN’s trade deadline column spots Saquon Barkley and Khalil Mack as hot topics despite no real talks. The Eagles, saddled with a $80 million 2027 dead‑money load after losing QB Jalen Hurts to thrombosis and letting Lane Johnson retire, face a $26 million cap hit if they move Barkley now—adding to an existing $27.1 million A.J. Brown charge. Analysts propose deals sending Barkley to Houston for multiple picks and Woody Marks, or a multi‑team swap involving Detroit and Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Mack’s veteran production sparks chatter about a Chicago Bears reunion. Both scenarios clash with GM Howie Roseman’s reluctance to upset fans or worsen the cap crunch.
The Giants face a daunting quarterback transition as both right tackles are sidelined—Jermaine Eluemunor (calf) and Marcus Mbow (knee)—with Andrew Thomas also out (groin). With J.J. McCarthy set to take over, New York must devise extra protection schemes, possibly using tight ends or backs, rather than relying on starter tackles. Coach Harbaugh assures the offensive concepts stay familiar, but the lack of healthy linemen limits play‑calling and could shrink the passing menu. The article warns that without a quick return of the tackles, the Giants’ QB change could be hampered by inadequate pass protection.
The Philadelphia Eagles have signed former Alabama standout and New York Giants offensive lineman Evan Neal to their practice squad as they look to snap a four-game losing streak ahead of their Week 7 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team reported the signing Thursday via X, formerly known as Twitter. […] The post Eagles sign former Alabama star to contract appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Philadelphia added Neal, Jaydon Blue and Anfernee Orji to its practice squad and waived E.J. Jenkins. The Giants released Neal in August, and the Raiders cut him from their practice squad Monday.
The NFL trade deadline is 4 p.m. ET Nov. 10. A team that trades for a player takes on only his unpaid salary. The Giants hold five 2027 draft picks.
The Philadelphia Eagles add former Giants first‑round pick Evan Neal to their practice squad, a day after his tryout, while also re‑signing running back Jaydon Blue and linebacker Anfernee Orji. Tight end E.J. Jenkins is waived. At 26, Neal offers size and line versatility that could help a depth‑strapped Eagles frontline amid ongoing injuries. The moves signal the team’s continued roster tweaking ahead of potential 53‑man roster upgrades.
The New York Giants recently announced that JJ McCarthy would be replacing Jameis Winston as the team’s starting quarterback for this week’s game against the Houston Texans. The news comes after McCarthy took over for Winston down the stretch of last week’s game vs the New Orleans Saints and nearly led the team on a […] The post Giants’ J.J. McCarthy drops game-changing Jaxson Dart revelation as he replaces Jameis Winston appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Gary Meyers revisits his earlier prediction that the NY Giants would trade for Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy, this time taking aim at coach Kevin O’Connell. Meyers calls O’Connell’s praise of McCarthy “laughable,” arguing the coach hasn’t earned genius status without a playoff win and that he overloaded the 23‑year‑old QB too soon. The piece notes McCarthy’s recent fourth‑quarter snaps, including connections with Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely, while questioning whether Minnesota mis‑handled the trade for cap space. It urges patience on both the young quarterback’s development and O’Connell’s coaching track record.
Per Connor Hughes, the Giants will likely try to add to their running back room before the upcoming trade deadline. Hughes admits he has his doubts that a move will come to fruition, however, and isn’t sure trading a day two pick or more for someone like Colts RB Jonathan Taylor is worth it. He […] The post Giants Expected To Explore Trade Market For Running Back appeared first on NFLTradeRumors.co .
Dennard Wilson called the Saints game one of the defense's worst tackling games and said the Giants will change players who don't change their behavior.
After seemingly falling out of favor with the Giants last week, Cam Skattebo's name has been thrown around as a potential trade piece.
The New York Giants cut veteran running back Najee Harris on Tuesday after his four‑carry, two‑yard showing in a 34‑27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Harris, signed in August, logged just 99 yards on 31 carries in five games, joining fellow releases Odell Beckham Jr. and Darius Slayton under head coach John Harbaugh. The article weighs the pros—forcing accountability and motivating the roster—and the cons, suggesting the rapid turnover exposes flaws in the team’s evaluation process, especially as other backs like Cam Skattebo, Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr. struggle below 3.7 yards per carry. It asks whether Harbaugh’s tough‑love approach will spark a winning culture or deepen the Giants’ instability.
The Giants (3-2-1) head to Houston as 10.5‑point underdogs in Week 7, debuting rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy. The blog predicts McCarthy will break 300 passing yards against a Texans secondary that has already yielded three 300‑yard games, thanks to targets Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely. With Najee Harris released, running backs Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. are expected to each find the end zone, boosting a ground game that has struggled under 3.7 yards per carry. Giants cornerbacks Deonte Banks and Greg Newsome II are slated to intercept C.J. Stroud three times, while kicker Dominic Zvada could seal the win with a last‑second field goal.
Cam Skattebo may be getting back into the New York Giants’ good graces after his recent demotion, and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy’s latest comments suggest the running back handled the situation exactly how the coaching staff wanted. According to Dan Duggan, Nagy praised Skattebo for how he responded to last week’s reduced role, calling his […] The post Giants’ Cam Skattebo allegedly out of doghouse, at least based on what Matt Nagy said appeared first on ClutchPoints .
In J.J. McCarthy's 2025 starts, the Vikings lined up under center and used play-action at about the Giants' rates with Jaxson Dart, above their rates with Jameis Winston, before Sunday at Houston.
Whenever an NFL defensive coordinator drops the word "traitors" when talking about the effort level of his unit, it's going to draw attention.
The New York Giants didn’t have their best performance for about three quarters against the New Orleans Saints last week, and then J.J. McCarthy happened. Though he brought them back, they weren’t able to seal the deal, and they probably shouldn’t have put themselves in such a big hole in the first place. The defense […] The post Giants’ DC Dennard Wilson puts ‘traitors’ on blast for disgusting display of lollygagging appeared first on ClutchPoints .
An NFL insider says JJ McCarthy faces a monumental task to dethrone Jaxson Dart as the New York Giants’ quarterback for 2027. While McCarthy will start in Week 7 against the Houston Texans, the insider notes the Giants view Dart as a decade‑plus starter and love him personally. For McCarthy to earn the job, he’d have to perform like a top‑10 NFL QB, lead the Giants to double‑digit wins, secure the NFC East, and reach at least the NFC Championship—outcomes the insider calls “slim.” The article highlights McCarthy’s talent, his near‑comeback versus the Saints, and the high bar set for any shift in the QB hierarchy.
An NFL insider says JJ McCarthy faces a monumental task to dethrone New York Giants starter Jaxson Dart for 2027. After Dart’s season‑ending injury, McCarthy debuted in Week 7 versus the Houston Texans and nearly sparked a comeback against the Saints, but the Giants plan to keep Dart as QB1 for the next decade. To win the job, McCarthy would have to perform like a top‑10 NFL quarterback, lead the team to double‑digit wins, a secured NFC East title, and a deep playoff run—odds the insider deems slim.
New Orleans Saints have landed in Paris after their 34-27 win over the New York Giants to play the first NFL game in France. The Pittsburgh Steelers, however, will depart following their practice on Thursday. But before their Week 7 matchup at Stade de France, Pittsburgh was supposed to host a house fan event in […] The post Steelers Forced to Cancel Event in Paris Before Saints Game Amid Safety Concerns appeared first on EssentiallySports .
The Philadelphia Eagles bring two former high draft picks to the Jefferson Health Training Complex for tryouts. Former No. 7 overall 2022 pick OT Evan Neal, cut by the Giants and briefly on the Raiders’ practice squad, gets a second chance at 26. Veteran edge rusher Tyus Bowser, a 2017 second‑rounder with 19.5 career sacks, is eyed to bolster an injury‑hit pass rush that currently relies on Arnold Ebiketie and rookie Keyshawn James‑Newby. Both players could provide depth, but their past struggles leave their futures uncertain.
The New York Giants have named 18‑year‑old quarterback J.J. McCarthy the starter for Sunday’s game in Houston, moving Jameis Winston to backup and placing Jake Haener as the emergency third. Coach John Harbaugh says the move signals the team's direction, not a permanent guarantee. McCarthy, acquired from Minnesota for a 2027 fifth‑round pick, threw for 243 yards, a TD and an interception in the second half of the 34‑27 loss to the Saints, finishing 11‑of‑21. The Giants sit 3‑2‑1 in the NFC East and hope a full week behind McCarthy will provide clearer insight before their bye.
A New York Giants insider reveals that acquiring Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor would likely cost the Giants at least a Day 2 draft pick, with Kayvon Thibodeaux the only valuable player they could part with. While Taylor is on pace for 1,300 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns this season, the Giants’ recent 3‑2‑1 record, shaky offensive line play and doubts about rookie QB JJ McCarthy make the deal risky. Front office doubts are heightened after cutting veteran Najee Harris and losing Brian Burns. Hughes predicts the Giants will favor drafting a RB in April unless they improve to 5‑2‑1 before the Nov. 10 deadline.
