5 players who could have bigger roles for Giants in 2024

These five players could have bigger and more noteworthy roles for the New York Giants during the 2024 regular season.

The New York Giants finished a disappointing 6-11 in 2023, failing to follow up their encouraging 2022 when they went 9-8, won a Wild Card playoff game, and advanced to the NFC Divisional round.

They hope to turn things around in 2024. If they are to do so, they’ll need to get contributions from some of the younger players on their roster who have not yet established themselves.

Here are five players who should have bigger roles in 2024 for the Giants.

2024 NFL draft: Jayden Daniels becoming popular mock for Giants

Quarterback Jayden Daniels is becoming a popular mock to the New York Giants but most still favor offensive linemen and receivers.

Mock draft season is heating up and when it comes to the New York Giants, there is no consensus. Most insiders and experts have their own theories about what general manager Joe Schoen will do and precious few match up.

In our last mock draft round-up, the Giants seemed to focus heavily on offensive linemen and receivers — both wideouts and tight ends.

That trend continued over the past week with one small exception: A specific quarterback has become a bit more prevalent.

Here’s a round-up of the most recent mock drafts and who they have the Giants selecting.

Giants hire Aaron Wellman: 4 things to know

The New York Giants have hired Aaron Wellman and here are four things to know about the executive director of player performance.

The New York Giants hired Aaron Wellman as their new executive director of player performance on Tuesday.

Wellman replaces Craig Fitzgerald, who was the Giants’ director of strength and performance the past two seasons under head coach Brian Daboll. Fitzgerald recently accepted the same position at the University of Florida.

Here are four quick things to know about Wellman

Giants hire Joel Thomas: 5 things to know about the RB coach

The New York Giants have hired Joel Thomas and here are five things to know about their next running backs coach.

The New York Giants officially announced the hiring of Joel Thomas as their next running backs coach on Tuesday.

Thomas will replace Jeff Nixon, who recently departed for Syracuse, where he’ll serve as their offensive coordinator and running backs coach.

Thomas will inherit a running back group rife with uncertainty. Saquon Barkley avoided exit interviews and all but demanded the Giants franchise him before March if they intend to. If not, Barkley says, it’s time to let him go.

If the Giants opt against franchising Barkley and fail to sign him to a long-term deal, he will become an unrestricted free agent.

Needless to say, Thomas has a lot of work to do. But before that begins, here are five things to know about the Giants’ new running backs coach.

Giants Twitter roasts Cowboys after latest playoff choke

Misery loves company and New York Giants Twitter wasted no time in welcoming the Dallas Cowboys after their latest playoff choke.

Misery loves company, as they say, and on Sunday down in Arlington, the Dallas Cowboys joined the New York Giants in that misery.

A week after the Giants saw their season come to an underwhelming end, the Cowboys did what the Cowboys do and choked in the playoffs.

Despite home-field advantage and the annual round of, “this is our year,” Dallas was blown out by the Green Bay Packers, 48-32, in a game that was never as close as the final score indicates.

Quarterback Dak Prescott tossed two interceptions while dealing with some miscommunication issues with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, and Mike McCarthy exited the field for what may have been his final time as Cowboys coach.

Unsurprisingly, the entire football world had a little fun at Dallas’ expense. That includes Giants Twitter, which unloaded on the Cowboys without hesitation or restriction.

Giants’ 9 biggest disappointments of 2023

The New York Giants regressed significantly in 2023 and these nine players were among the most disappointing.

The 2023 season was a major downer for the New York Giants. There were a few surprises and glimmers of hope on the defensive side of the ball, but it wasn’t enough to extend the season.

The front office issues plagued the team and resulted in more upheaval with the “parting of ways” with Wink Martindale.

In the wake of the blinders being ripped off around the whole Wink/Brian Daboll fiasco, let’s take a look at nine players (in no particular order) who disappointed the most in 2023.

Giants hire Carmen Bricillo: 6 things to know about the O-line coach

The New York Giants have officially hired Carmen Bricillo and here are six things to know about the team’s new offensive line coach.

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll completed their comprehensive and in-depth one-person search for a new offensive line coach on Thursday.

PODCAST: Injuries, infighting and a Giant failure for Brian Daboll

This week on the Giants Wire Podcast, we discuss the Brian Daboll-Wink Martindale drama, injuries and another lost season for the Giants.

Editor’s note: This podcast was recorded early on Tuesday morning before additional details of the Brian Daboll-Wink Martindale drama came out and before the two sides “mutually parted ways.”

This week on the Giants Wire Podcast, we discuss the humiliating circus drama that is the New York Giants. What went wrong between head coach Brian Daboll and defensive coordinator Wink Martindale? Neither should be immune to criticism.

Daboll’s decision to hold an 8:30 a.m. press conference on Black Monday to avoid answering questions about Martindale was a poor choice that created bad optics.

Martindale’s “24 hours” display in Week 18 was equally as immature.

Also, how are the Giants still among the NFL’s most-injured teams? Is this an issue the organization will ever get a handle on?

Those topics (and more) are discussed in the latest episode of the Giants Wire Podcast, which is hosted by Ryan O’Leary (@RyanO_Leary on X) and joined by site editor Dan Benton (@TheGiantsWire).

The Giants Wire Podcast will air every week during the regular season and occasionally throughout the offseason. You can listen below:
