4 quarterbacks the Giants could sign to back up Daniel Jones

The New York Giants are in need of a backup to Daniel Jones, so here are four potential options and one extreme long-shot.

Josh McCown

Josh McCown is one tough son of a gun, but he’s also incredibly intelligent, his football knowledge is off the charts and he’s a locker room leader if there ever was one.

At 41 years old and coming off of a major injury, McCown may decide to retire from football (again) and possibly get into coaching. Or return to broadcasting. But if he doesn’t and wants to give it one more year, the Giants may be the most logical fit.

McCown has served as a High School quarterbacks coach for nearly a decade now, spending time with Marvin Ridge High School and Myers Park High School, which really just speaks to his love of teaching young players — which is precisely what head coach Joe Judge wants in his staff and veteran players.

A staff position is something we previously suggested for McCown, but if he’s willing to put the pads on for one more season, backing up Daniel Jones might be an ideal scenario.
