Report: Are the New York Giants a Good Fit for QB Dak Prescott in 2025?

Daniel Jones is expected to return to the Giants in 2024. Right now, he is projected to be the starting quarterback. However, that is far from guaranteed by the time the regular season comes along.

For starters, Jones very well could get injured again. He has had significant injuries multiple times throughout his NFL career. The next one could be the one that costs him his starting job.

Second of all, Jones regressed in 2023 compared to 2022. He had six interceptions in six starts last season. In comparison, he had five interceptions in 16 games during the 2022 season.

Is Dak Prescott the Right Fit?

The 2024 NFL season will likely be a defining one for Daniel Jones. Should he fail, the Giants will likely move on from him following this season. That could leave a quarterback opening for the 2025 NFL season.

This is where Dak Prescott comes in. Yesterday, it was revealed by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones that there will likely be no contract extension for Prescott before this season begins. Prescott has one year left on his contract. So, he theoretically could become a free agent in 2025.

Assuming the Giants are in a similar position next season, it could leave them needing a quarterback while not having the proper draft position to draft one. Dak Prescott has certainly proven reliable over the years should New York need a veteran moving forward.

2024 NFL Draft

One big caveat to this potential match is the 2024 NFL Draft. We need to see who the New York Giants select with the sixth overall pick.

There have been rumors that the Giants may draft QB J.J. McCarthy if available. If New York does this, it all but eliminates the chance of them signing a significant quarterback during 2025 NFL free agency. However, if the Giants select a wide receiver such as Malik Nabers, it could leave that door open.
