There will be plenty of storylines from the Giants’ offseason since the 2023 season ended. One of them is Wink Matrindale’s fallout with head coach Brian Daboll. Martindale was the defensive coordinator for the first two seasons of Daboll’s time as head coach in New York. At the end of the 2023 season, Daboll parted ways with one of Martindale’s top assistants. That aggravated the veteran defensive coordinator and he had some choice words for Daboll. That led to a fallout between the two and Martindale parted ways with New York. He failed to find another job in the NFL for 2024 and is with the Michigan Wolverines next season.
That’s just one of the intriguing storylines we’ll see from the Giants’ offseason. Additionally, we’ll see just how close the Giants came to drafting a QB in the 2024 Draft. There were reports that New York had offered a package to the Patriots to move up to the third overall pick to draft Drake Maye. However, the Giants were unsuccessful and ended up staying at six. They still got one of the top WRs from the 2024 draft class in Malik Nabers. That means the Giants are sticking with Daniel Jones for the 2024 season. New York did not draft a QB this year. General Manager Joe Schoen did bring in QB Drew Lock from the Seahawks this offseason and he’ll be in New York’s QB room. Some have speculated that he could be competing with Jones for the starting job. We’ll have to wait and see just how legitimate those claims are.

The 2024 season is a pivotal one for the New York Giants. It’s Brain Daboll and Joe Schoen’s third year with Big Blue and they need to have a bounce-back year. In 2022, the Giants finished 9-7-1 and made the playoffs. New York won a playoff game and the Giants were way ahead of schedule. However, New York took a step back in 2023 when they finished 6-11. When the five-episode series airs in July, we’ll see the moves New York has made this offseason to set their franchise up for what they hope is a historic 100th season.
