The New York Giants will probably be available in the market for a backup to quarterback Daniel Jones this offseason and early rumors have them focusing on Mitchell Trubisky.
Trubisky, after all, has some familiarity with Giants normal supervisor Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll. All three spent the previous season in Buffalo and Trubisky just lately raved about Daboll’s offense. However in the long run, it would all come right down to the financials.
The Giants are in tough cap form and may have little to spend in free company, whereas Trubisky is out of the blue a sizzling title. Some consider he’ll warrant a contract of as much as $10 million yearly, however former New York Jets normal supervisor Mike Tannenbaum thinks it may very well be much more.
The truth is, Tannenbaum sees Trubisky touchdown a contract with as much as $16 million with that $10 million assured at signing.
For groups in search of a QB this season, take into account this: If Trubisky was on this 12 months’s draft class, I feel he would clearly be the highest signal-caller. Why not carry him in for a 12 months, see what you may have after which reassess subsequent offseason? The 2023 offseason will provide the likes of Derek Carr and Kirk Cousins in free company, and presumably Bryce Younger and C.J. Stroud within the draft. Finest case, you win massive with Trubisky. Worst case, you attempt once more with a significantly better crop to passers to choose from. (I feel Younger may very well be the actual deal, and if I had been a staff that’s in want of a long-term quarterback and that may very well be close to the highest of the draft order in 2023, I’d be fairly excited.)
Trubisky has already began 50 video games and is just 27 years outdated. He has led his staff to the playoffs in two seasons. Sure, he must proceed to enhance his accuracy, however due to his character, work ethic and age, he may find yourself the most effective obtainable quarterback on the market. And you may signal him to an inexpensive contract.
That’s a hefty value for a traditionally inconsistent quarterback. It’s additionally excess of the Giants ought to be keen to spend on a backup — or perhaps a one-year starter for that matter. If that’s the method required with Trubisky, the staff can be (and will probably be) higher suited simply paying Daniel Jones much less cash for one season. Jones additionally comes with the next potential ceiling.
The Giants will, after all, signal a quarterback to backup and compete with Jones, however they’ll must be a lot smarter with their cash. $16 million is out of the query and even $10 million is pushing it.
