Every NFL common supervisor needs a star broad receiver, together with the Giants’ Joe Schoen.
But Schoen pushed again on Monday in opposition to the concept he’s determined for one.
“I think we want to continue to build the entire team,” the Giants’ GM stated. “I do know a No. 1 broad receiver may be necessary, however there are some No. 1 broad receivers which can be house proper now. I can undergo this previous weekend. I can undergo a pair weekends in the past within the playoffs. A No. 1 receiver doesn’t assure you something.
“I think it’s important we continue to build the team, and there’s multiple positions we want to upgrade throughout the offseason,” Schoen continued. “So I’d love to have a No. 1 wide receiver, but we’ve got to place value on everything we do, and if it makes sense, that’s something we’ll look to do.”
This doesn’t imply Schoen isn’t trying to improve the receiver room. Of course, he’s.
The GM tried all spring, summer season and fall of 2022 to show over his receiver room. He drafted Wan’Dale Robinson, traded Kadarius Toney, signed Richie James and claimed Isaiah Hodgins.
And he hosted Odell Beckham Jr. on a free agent go to and dinner in December, for crying out loud.
Schoen might find yourself utilizing the Giants’ No. 25 general draft choose on a receiver and signing one in free company on prime of that, if not buying and selling for one, as effectively.
He was aggressive eventually fall’s commerce deadline about pursuing the Broncos’ Jerry Jeudy earlier than Denver made clear he wasn’t accessible.
It’s simply that Schoen doesn’t need to overpay or give up leverage in free agent negotiations by acknowledging a determined want at that place.
So keep tuned. Undoubtedly, John Mara, Steve Tisch, Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll will proceed to have their eyes on reinforcing and upgrading Daniel Jones’ receiving corps.
AROUND THE ROSTER
Schoen was requested about Beckham’s dinner and the opportunity of revisiting that choice. He stated dinner was “good” and dodged discussing OBJ in any respect. He stated solely “we’re gonna consider when we have this offseason every position, who’s available” … Schoen stated bringing again veteran receiver Sterling Shepard is “something we may or may not entertain.” He stated Shepard is “one of my favorites,” and the Giants will “continue to monitor his rehab” coming off a torn ACL following a torn Achilles the earlier season. It’s arduous to think about Shepard becoming on the roster in 2023, though everybody hopes he can get wholesome. But it’s not a stretch to think about him as a part of the Giants’ workers if and when he’s completed taking part in … Schoen stated of security Julian Love, who he negotiated with throughout the bye week: “Julian knows how we feel about him. We had a good exit interview with him yesterday. We’ll talk to the coaches and see where he fits in, and if we can get something done that would be good.” … Schoen on cope with DL Leonard Williams’ $18 million wage and $32.2 million cap hit in 2023: “We haven’t discussed that yet. I liked his quote yesterday … that he’d be interested in taking a pay cut. It was a good job whoever asked him that. He didn’t mention that in the exit interview with us, but… [laughs]” … Schoen chuckled when requested if DL Dexter Lawrence has completed sufficient to earn an extension. Lawrence has yet another season on his fifth-year choice remaining on his rookie deal. “Yeah, I would say Dexter’s done enough,” Schoen stated. “Dexter played really well, great person, great teammate. Glad he’s here.” LT Andrew Thomas can be eligible for an extension and as a consequence of be paid huge. Schoen is now going to work on making these puzzles match.
