Giants head coach Pat Shurmur says the team will be moving forward with Eli Manning as the starting quarterback, but not everyone is convinced. For weeks, Tony Pauline of DraftAnalyst.com (on Twitter) has been hearing that the Giants are very interested in Eagles quarterback Nick Foles.

For the Giants, it was simply a matter of whether the Eagles would franchise tag the QB or allow him to become a free agent. With Wednesday’s news that the Eagles will allow Foles to explore the open market, the stars could be aligning for the Giants to pursue Foles. Of course, the Manning question still needs answering.
Shurmur coached Foles in Philadelphia, so it would only make sense for the Giants to consider him. Meanwhile, GM Dave Gettleman isn’t ruling out a veteran signing and Foles represents the best free agent QB option by far. Teddy Bridgewater will also hold appeal for teams, but unlike Bridgewater, Foles has recent game tape and a Super Bowl ring on his hand.
Would or should they cut Eli if they sign Foles? My guess is YES
It wouldn’t make any financial sense to keep both. It’s gotta be one or the other.
Can’t wait to read Zach’s article tomorrow that Giants aren’t interested in Foles.
Please no. Just keep Eli if this is what you want. Is Eli gonna win at this point? No. But no one is with that bullshit we call an O line. #fixtheline
This is the truth, don’t waste money or picks on a QB this year, fix the oline first n foremost then add your QB of the future either through the draft, FA, or trade.
Everyone is worried about the offense of line? Here is a novel approach sign Nick Foles. They have a high first a high second and a high third how about you use those packs on the offense of line
Go for it Giants….4yr-100mil guaranteed….get your qb
Giants have lost 9 of the last 10 meetings in the series and still owe the Eagles some payback for those Meadowland miracles. Time to start fighting back and poaching your opponents talent is as good as way as any.
