The Giants won’t say out loud who their starting quarterback will be, but they gave a pretty good indication of who they think will make a solid backup when they exercised their option on Alex Tanney’s contract.
A source confirmed the move to Newsday; it was first reported by ESPN.
Tanney, 32, has been on the Giants’ roster the past two seasons but has thrown just one pass in an NFL regular season game since 2015.
