Giants’ DC Dennard Wilson puts ‘traitors’ on blast for disgusting display of lollygagging
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 .
Can JJ McCarthy Win NY Giants QB1 Job Permanently? NFL Insider Reveals If Jaxson Dart Should REALLY Worry
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.
Can JJ McCarthy Win NY Giants QB1 Job Permanently? NFL Insider Reveals If Jaxson Dart Should REALLY Worry
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.
Steelers Forced to Cancel Event in Paris Before Saints Game Amid Safety Concerns
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.

Eagles host two former high draft picks on tryouts
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.
Giants turn to JJ McCarthy for more than a one-week experiment
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.
NY Giants Insider Details Cost of Rumored Jonathan Taylor Trade, How Realistic a Deal is Before Nov. 10
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.
Eagles Worked Out G Evan Neal

Will the Giants unmask C.J. Stroud?
After a blistering Week 6 performance – 24‑of‑34 passes for 312 yards, three TDs and a 116.3 passer rating – C.J. Stroud earns his fourth AFC Offensive Player of the Week, cementing his spot in the MVP race. The Texans’ 34‑31 win over Jacksonville highlights Stroud’s improved reads, release time, and poise after criticism from Andre Johnson. Yet history looms: Houston is 1‑5 all‑time against the New York Giants and has lost the last five meetings. With receivers Nico Collins, Marvin Harrison Jr., Kayshon Boutte and returning Tank Dell, Stroud faces a Giants defense that allows 190 passing yards per game. The matchup will test whether Stroud can finally unmask the Giants’ stingy secondary.

Saints Draft Position: Entering Week 7
Entering Week 7, the New Orleans Saints are projected to pick 12th overall in the 2027 NFL Draft after a recent win over the Giants. With linebacker depth concerns—Demario Davis left in free agency and Kaden Elliss injured—the Saints are eyeing Georgia’s standout LB Chris Cole, a 6‑foot‑3, fast, hard‑hitting OLB who excels in coverage and pass rush. They also need a true CB1; Clemson’s Ashton Hampton, who leads the nation in pass deflections and has shut down top receiver Malachi Toney, emerges as a potential first‑round steal. The article breaks down how both prospects could fill critical gaps in New Orleans’ defense.

NY Giants report confirms Jonathan Taylor trade from Colts could happen soon
ESPN insider Dan Graziano says a Jonathan Taylor trade to the New York Giants is now realistic as the deadline nears. After releasing Najee Harris and cutting back Cam Skattebo, the Giants need a proven runner to support rookie QB J.J. McCarthy. Taylor’s contract – roughly $5.3 million base for the rest of 2026 plus per‑game bonuses, with $10 million dead money staying with Indianapolis – is structured to allow a move despite his recent extension. If GM Joe Schoen trades the needed draft capital, Taylor could give the Giants the veteran, break‑away backfield they lack for a playoff push.
John Harbaugh confirms why NY Giants chose JJ McCarthy as QB1 over Jameis Winston
Giants head coach John Harbaugh explains why J.J. McCarthy replaces Jameis Winston as the team’s QB1 for Week 7 against the Houston Texans. Harbaugh praises Winston’s contributions but says McCarthy’s mobile skill set—highlighted by a 243‑yard, one‑touchdown relief performance in Week 6—offers the highest offensive ceiling and fits Matt Nagy’s scheme. He stresses the move is the long‑term plan, not a temporary fix, and believes the change gives New York its best chance to sustain a playoff run in a 3‑2‑1 season.

NY Giants trade for Jonathan Taylor with Colts could come at a high price
The New York Giants, reeling after releasing Najee Harris and benching fumble‑prone Cam Skattebo, are reportedly targeting Colts star RB Jonathan Taylor to revive their sputtering rushing attack. Indianapolis, which just gave Taylor a two‑year, $44 million extension (max $47 million) through 2028, is said to demand at least a second‑round draft pick plus a sixth‑ or seventh‑rounder. While the move could provide the elite durability and power New York needs, it would cost valuable draft capital and add substantial cap pressure, leaving the Giants’ front office facing a high‑stakes decision before the trade deadline.

NY Giants need their ballhawk deeper against Houston
The Giants must rethink safety Jevon Holland’s role against the Texans, who expect wideout Tank Dell to return on Sunday. Holland has already recorded three of New York’s six interceptions and forced two fumbles in six games, but the article advises keeping him deeper on selected passing downs to preserve his ball‑hawking ability instead of pulling him into the box to compensate for a thin pass rush. With only eight sacks and C.J. Stroud throwing for 1,714 yards, the defense should vary two‑high looks and use Holland’s depth to aid corners, while still applying selective pressure based on down‑and‑distance and personnel. Balancing this against Houston’s strong rushing attack (813 yards at 5.0 ypr) will be key.

NY Giants, John Harbaugh confirm new starting QB between JJ McCarthy and Jameis Winston
The New York Giants announce J.J. McCarthy as the starter for Week 7 against the Houston Texans, ending Jameis Winston’s turnover‑laden outing. After a 243‑yard, one‑touchdown fourth‑quarter surge that sparked a near‑comeback versus the Saints, coach John Harbaugh cites McCarthy’s mobility and arm strength as a perfect fit for Matt Nagy’s scheme originally built for Jaxson Dart. The shift also aims to energize the offense against Houston’s pass rush, though success hinges on a revived running game from Cam Skattebo. McCarthy’s first official start marks a pivotal moment for the Giants.
