The 2-8 New York Giants don't want to talk about tanking

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The 2-8 Giants are down to an undrafted third-string quarterback in Tommy DeVito and face an uphill battle to salvage the season.

With the news that DeVito is starting for the second straight week on Sunday against the Washington Commanders, the term "tank" is being thrown around these days to suggest the Giants should try to land in the top two slots of the 2024 NFL draft where two standout quarterbacks -- USC's Caleb Williams or North Carolina's Drake Maye -- are expected to be available.

"Compete," Giants coach Brian Daboll said of what he thinks when he hears calls for his team to tank.
