In the last 24 hours, two NFL writers whose work I respect have floated the idea of the New York Giants engineering a trade for Indianapolis Colts backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett.
This is a 24-year-old who, at 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds, has the skill set to thrive in the modern NFL offensive circus. Bill Parcells loved him when Brissett came out of North Carolina State. There were some in the Giants organization who were also high on him, with evaluations such as “he has everything you’re looking for in an NFL quarterback of today” and lauding his ability to throw a great deal of passes without turning the ball over.
