The Giants are in the market for a new quarterback, but acquiring Matthew Stafford via trade seems like nothing more than a far-fetched rumor. While New York is expected to draft a quarterback in 2025 and sign a veteran bridge option, Stafford’s situation with the Rams doesn’t align with what the Giants need—or can afford.
A Contract That Makes No Sense
Stafford, 37, still has two years remaining on his deal, carrying a massive $49.6 million cap hit in 2025 and an even higher $53.6 million hit in 2026. While the dead money left on his contract isn’t insurmountable, the Rams are far more likely to restructure and extend him rather than outright move on.
