BREAKING: New York Giants Pass on Shedeur Sanders and Matthew Stafford, Close in on Aaron Rodgers Deal.
New York, NY – In a stunning turn of events, the New York Giants have decided against pursuing quarterbacks Shedeur Sanders and Matthew Stafford, instead finalizing a deal to acquire Aaron Rodgers from the New York Jets, sources confirm.
The move comes amid widespread speculation that the Giants were in the market for a new quarterback following an underwhelming 2024 season. Many expected the team to target younger talent like Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders in the upcoming NFL Draft or explore a veteran option such as Stafford. However, the front office has instead pivoted toward securing Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP and future Hall of Famer, in what could be one of the most shocking trades in recent history.
Aaron Rodgers, 40, suffered a torn Achilles just four plays into his highly anticipated Jets debut last season. While he has been adamant about returning in peak form, the Jets’ recent moves—potentially eyeing a younger quarterback—have paved the way for trade talks with their crosstown rivals.
The Giants, led by head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen, appear to be betting on Rodgers to bring experience and leadership to a team that has struggled for consistency at the quarterback position.
Rodgers’ arrival could signal a shift in the Giants’ offensive approach, possibly moving on from current starter Daniel Jones. The 26-year-old has faced injuries and inconsistent performances, leaving the Giants front office to explore other options.
If finalized, the trade could dramatically reshape the Giants’ trajectory, as Rodgers would bring immediate credibility and Super Bowl aspirations to a franchise that has been searching for stability under center since Eli Manning’s retirement.
While no official terms of the trade have been disclosed, sources indicate that discussions are in the final stages. Compensation could involve a combination of draft picks and players heading to the Jets in exchange for the veteran quarterback.
Neither the Giants nor Rodgers’ camp have made an official statement, but an announcement could come within the next few days as negotiations near completion.
Stay tuned for further updates as this blockbuster move unfolds.
