Summary

The Giants reportedly came very close to landing Pro Bowl corner Trent McDuffie before he was traded to the Rams, and that revelation says a lot about the direction of the franchise. Evan and Tiki discuss what the near-miss means for the Giants’ approach this offseason and why it signals the team may be ready to swing big. Could the Giants be quietly working behind the scenes on a major trade? The conversation explores how aggressive the front office might get, whether the team is truly “big game hunting,” and if a shocking move like pursuing Maxx Crosby could actually be possible. The guys also break down the Giants’ roster needs heading into free agency and why the team must add talent quickly at multiple positions. If the McDuffie pursuit is any indication, the Giants may be preparing to make a move that nobody sees coming.

We find out after the show, courtesy of a report out of Kansas City, that the chiefs were also considering an offer from the New York Giants.

0:09.7

Now, we don't know what the Giants were offering.

0:12.2

Cape Hunt, Tibino.

0:13.5

That was not good. That's not a first round pick. I'll tell you that right now.

0:17.3

But I would say based on that report, that they were offering something significant.

0:20.6

Maybe it was next year's first round pick. I doubt it would have been this because it was a five. It shows you that John Harbaugh, Joe Shane, Dona Ponty, whoever you want to give credit to, I don't care. We'll just call them the Giants. The Triumphant of Giants, power brokers. They're going to be aggressive. Of course. Now, you don't get credit for being close.

0:38.5

You've got to pull guys in, but this would have been a big, big get if they made this trade.

0:44.0

Of course.

0:44.4

It did not happen.

0:45.3

No doubt about it.

0:47.2

Do you sense that they're going to do big things since they came this close to doing such a big thing for a corner?

0:54.8

I mean, they have to fill this roster with better players, and it's going to start and free it.

1:00.7

Well, actually, I take that back because it's already starting because the trade market is open right now.

1:06.6

And Tremaine Edmonds, who we talked about from the linebacker position as a trade for the Chicago Bears.

1:11.5

Who knows where that's going?

1:12.6

We haven't seen much movement on that, really, from anybody with Tremaine.

1:16.0

But they just released Bobby O'Caricay.

1:19.5

And I doubt they're signing McFadden anytime soon in free agents.

1:25.7

It's not like he's the desired linebacker free agent right now.

1:29.7

And so they have to fill this roster.

1:32.7

And you can't just do it through the draft.

1:35.2
