Drew Lock

Speaking in a Thursday radio interview, Seahawks GM John Schneider said the team wanted to re-sign Drew Lock, but that the Giants sold him on getting a chance to start.

Per Schneider, the Giants “basically sold him on the opportunity to compete to be the starter.” Schneider also said Lock views this situation as “possibly being similar to Baker Mayfield in Tampa last year.” Alrighty then! Although you could argue it’s conjecture from a rival executive who doesn’t actually know the Giants’ internal plans, it’s the strongest sign yet the G-Men are ready to pull the plug on last year’s disastrous Daniel Jones contract mistake. That is, at least on the field. Jones’ deal remains un-cuttable for 2024. Lock would not be a clear upgrade on Jones, but Jones is also returning from a torn ACL after his legs were a big part of his surprise 2022 success. Things are going to be very interesting in New York this season.
