The New York Giants are heading into the 2025 offseason with major question marks at the quarterback position. After moving on from Daniel Jones, the team finds itself at a crossroads, seeking a new franchise signal-caller to revitalize a struggling offense. Two names stand out above the rest as potential solutions: Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward.
Sanders and Ward Lead 2025 Draft QB Class
In a draft class headlined by intriguing quarterback prospects, Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward have emerged as the cream of the crop. Sanders, the son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, has been lighting it up at Colorado, displaying the tools and pedigree to be a high-level NFL starter. Ward, meanwhile, has elevated the Miami program with his dynamic playmaking ability and leadership skills.
The Giants, currently holding a top draft pick, will have their choice of these elite talents. Opinions are split on who the better fit would be in Big Blue:
Personally, I think [Sanders is] a guy that can come here and really transform things… Kind of like a Jayden Daniels effect.
Isaiah Simmons, Giants defensive back
However, there are also rumblings that Sanders may prefer to land with the Las Vegas Raiders, who are tied with the Giants for the worst record in the league. If New York misses out on Sanders, Ward would be a high-upside consolation prize to build around.
Veteran QB Options Also in Play
While the draft appears to be the Giants’ most likely path to finding their QB of the future, several notable veterans could also be in the mix:
- Kirk Cousins – His future in Atlanta is up in the air after the Falcons benched him for rookie Michael Penix Jr. Cousins could be a steady bridge option.
- Sam Darnold – Coming off a strong year in Minnesota, Darnold will be a coveted free agent. He may be looking for more than a short-term gig, though.
- Jimmy Garoppolo – The experienced signal-caller is always in demand and could compete for the starting job while mentoring a rookie.
Other names to watch include Justin Fields, who could be available for trade, and Jameis Winston, a high-variance option with a history of putting up numbers.
A New Era Awaits in New York
Regardless of which direction they choose, the Giants are entering a new era at the game’s most important position. After years of instability and underperformance, Big Blue has a chance to reinvigorate the offense and return to contention with an injection of fresh blood under center.
All eyes will be on general manager Joe Schoen and the Giants’ front office this spring as they navigate a make-or-break offseason. The decisions made in the coming months will shape the franchise’s trajectory for years to come. For a team and fanbase desperate for a reversal of fortunes, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
As the NFL world watches and waits, one thing is certain: change is coming to the Giants’ quarterback room in 2025. And with it, a chance to finally turn the page on a prolonged period of offensive futility. The future starts now in New York.
