Sunday, 09:47am: After learning more about this situation, the Giants are fully supporting Lauletta, per Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports. La Canfora writes that there was a major backup on Lauletta’s route to the team facility on the day of his arrest, and, scrambling to be there by 8:30am, he disobeyed a police officer on the scene who wanted him to take a lengthy detour. Lauletta concedes that he should have obeyed the directive immediately, but sources say the QB did not act belligerently and he says he never came close to hitting the officer or anyone else. He intends to vigorously fight the criminal charges, and the Giants, who believe Lauletta was honest with them about the situation, still think highly of him.
As such, JLC says Big Blue is still considering pulling Manning in favor of Lauletta, and while Lauletta’s arrest may have altered that timeline a bit, the expectation is that he will be under center at some point this season.
Thursday, 12:42pm: Giants quarterback Kyle Lauletta is facing multiple charges after his run-in with cops on Tuesday morning. The Weehawken (NJ) Police Department announced that Lauletta has been charged with eluding police, obstructing administration of law, and resisting arrest. He’s also facing motor vehicle charges for reckless driving, disregarding an officer’s directions, an improper turn in marked traffic lane, and failure to remain in a marked lane.

The rookie QB was cuffed on his way to practice this week when he failed to obey the directions of an officer and nearly struck police with his car. It was a disappointing incident for the fourth-round pick, particularly since the Giants could be inches away from yanking Eli Manning in favor of other options.
In a radio interview, head coach Pat Shurmur was non-committal when asked about a potential suspension for the youngster. But, at minimum, a fine from the club seems likely and the arrest may delay his opportunity to start in place of Manning.
The lowly 1-7 Giants are on their bye this week. They’ll resume action on Monday Nov. 12 when they face the 49ers.
..lovely
Interestingly enough, the night before was when the press started talking about Manning getting jerked and Lauletta taking the helm for that group of divas…I would have done the same thing he did to prevent myself from becoming the new face for that group!!!
Lesson to all; don’t think it’s easy to outrun small town cops. It’s not, don’t try it.
Or you might find yourself facing these charges instead of a speeding ticket (etc.)
The attitude of a guy who thinks “I’m the new starting qb of the NYG”
The crash-and-burn before the crash-and-burn?
Guy should be cut. He sucks anyway
What an idiot
Cut this criminal thug immediately
This is too awesome lol please make him the starter the giants need this kind of tenacity
Guess he didn’t want to get pummeled playing behind that o-line. Seriously, this is an immature and panicking decision which does not bode well regarding his makeup and character. Needs to grow up if he has any hope of remaining on an NFL roster.
Lol. I disobeyed the cops so I wouldn’t be late to work.
With Eli playing so poorly, he should’ve been the first one there even before the coaches got there.
Eli has the 4th most passing yards in be NFL
Yeah and how many of those yards are in garbage time down by at least 2 scores. They leave him in to pile up useless stats so he can blame everyone else
Do we know if the Weehawken coppers were motivated to do this because they had Sam Darnold on their fantasy teams?
