Many believe the Giants will end up trading the third-overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft for Stafford and a mid-round selection. While a top-3 pick might seem high for an older passer, New York is desperate to fix their quarterback situation, especially with head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen on the hot seat.
Another potential landing spot is the Tennessee Titans. While they have the first overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, the Titans could explore the trade market for a veteran quarterback.
