@TheDougRush What is the Christian Wilkins situation?
@TheDougRush Roquan Smith
The situation that led to Christian Wilkins' release is a "tough one to overcome" and the reason he is still unsigned, per Jordan Raanan. Even with Wilkins being close friends with Dexter Lawrence, Raanan sees the Wilkins situation as tough to bring into a locker room. (Via @BreakingBigBlue)
@TheDougRush @JordanRaanan Y’all were definitely not getting Fred Warner I heard Roquan smith was available
After 10 seasons of covering the New York Football Giants, it’s time for me to move on. I’ve loved being a part of Big Blue and watching this organization evolve over the last decade. I’ve built some incredible friendships, made lasting memories, and hope to have left a positive impact on the fan base with our content and coverage over the years. I’m excited to announce what’s next, more on that soon. For now, one thing remains true: once a Giant, always a Giant 💙
@TheDougRush @JordanRaanan Could’ve been Dre Greenlaw
Definitely NOT Fred Warner.
Veteran QB Carson Wentz is re-signing with the Vikings, sources tell The Insiders. So Minnesota’s QB room now features three former top-10 picks: Kyler Murray, J.J. McCarthy and Wentz, who played well last season before a shoulder injury.
I was guessing Roquan
The Giants reportedly tried to trade for a veteran linebacker during the early start of free agency. From @JordanRaanan on his Breaking Blue podcast: "The Giants definitely did try to trade for a linebacker, I heard. And the story I heard was that said linebacker didn’t really want to go, and the trade kind of broke apart. It’s a guy that’s getting towards the end of his career, and it just didn’t work out." While the identity of the player wasn’t revealed, given the trade rumors that were circulating on social media around the time of the start of free agency, the veteran linebacker sure sounds like it was 49ers linebacker Fred Warner. Warner, who is considered one of the best middle linebackers in the sport, is 29 years old and coming off a season-ending ankle injury. The Giants ended up signing Tremaine Edmunds to a 3-year deal; Edmunds was initially put on the trade block by the Bears before he was released. The Giants are also thought of to potentially draft a linebacker early on in the 2026 NFL Draft; Ohio State’s Sonny Styles has been frequently mentioned for the Giants in mock drafts.
WHO SAYS NO…? The #Giants trade multiple valuable assets for #Dolphins superstar running back De'Von Achane. De'Von would help jumpstart New York’s rebuild with John Harbaugh and Jaxson Dart. Achane is 24 years old and one of the most electric players in the league.
