But that's where Dart separates himself. It's not just about the physical gifts with him. It's how he endeared himself to Daboll and so many coaches around the league. There is an aura about him - teammates gravitate toward him. His toughness, leadership, love for the game put him in a different realm. He has something," one source said, that guys just rally behind."
You see guys across the league who are competitive, tough leaders," an offensive coach said. Guys like Josh (Allen), Bo (Nix). As rookies, you saw those traits in their game. They weren't polished quarterbacks by any stretch, but those attributes stood out. Josh and Bo, they took the second steps when everything else caught up. They figured out how to play quarterback. It's what separates them from someone likePaxton Lynch. Will Jaxson take that next step? You can see the guy loves football. Those guys are usually the ones who figure it out."

Dexter Lawrence IItrade would change Giants draft | ESPN.com

Lawrence wants out. The Giants don't want to trade him. But they're also not dying to pay him more money and will at least listen to offers. Everybody is tradable," coach John Harbaughsaid recently.
One league source with past ties to Harbaugh suggested the new Giants head coach's track record would indicate welcoming the idea of adding multiple draft picks for a malcontent player. Something along the lines of two Day 2 picks and another on Day 3. That would put the Giants heavily in the market for multiple defensive tackles in the draft. Players such asKayden McDonald,Peter WoodsandCaleb Bankswould immediately come into play at the top of Round 2, if they aren't already in consideration.

Dexter Lawrence wants a new contract, one that he believes is representative of his talent.

Whether theNew York Giantsstar defensive lineman truly wants out after a Monday morning trade request remains uncertain. It's business for the Lawrence and the Giants, but make no mistake, it's a little bit personal, too.

Report: New York Giants view Marcus Mbow as their swing tackle | USAToday.com

With a new coaching staff coming in the door, Mbow is still not seen as a starter. Head coach John Harbaugh's staff is considering Mbow as their third tackle, behind Thomas and the recently re-signed Eluemunor. ESPN Giants beat reporter Jordan Raanan on theBreaking Big Blue podcastsaid that Mbow is likely going to be the third tackle again this year. He will not be tried at guard.

I do not think - now it doesn't mean they might not look in or look at it - but or like try it at some point," Raanan said of moving Mbow to guard. But his role right now seems to be, or the intention for his role right now is to be the swing tackle."

The NFL Player Each NFC Team Should Trade for During the 2026 Draft | FOX Sports

New York Giants: Acquire: CB Marlon Humphrey from the Baltimore Ravens Cost: 2026 fourth-round pick (105th), 2027 conditional seventh-round pick

The thinnest position on the Giants' roster might be corner, where veteran Paulson Adebo has battled injuries the past two seasons, Deonte Banks has been a bust, and they're counting a lot on the flier they took on Greg Newsome. Humphrey, a four-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro, will be 30 and carries a $15.25 million salary, so he might not cost more than a Day 3 pick. The Ravens will be OK in the secondary without him. And they could make this a win-win trade if they can entice Baltimore with edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux in a blockbuster deal, too.

New York Giants Take Class' Top WR With 5th Overall Pick. The New York Giants are best-situated to trade out of the fifth overall pick. In order to do so, some interest must be generated from those willing to pay the price and move into that range.
Ohio State wide receiverCarnell Tatesimultaneously makes sense for the Giants with the fifth overall pick, so Malik Nabers can have a running mate in the passing game, and an obvious name to entice a trade. The Giants are laying smokescreens to ensure an interested suitor gets ahead of Cleveland for its preferred wide receiver or offensive lineman. Thus, New York can trade down and add extra assets.
