Giants Passed on Flacco in Offseason

Despite Joe Flacco's interest in joining them, the New York Giants showed no desire to pursue the veteran quarterback during the offseason.

According to a league source, quarterback Joe Flacco had interest in the Giants during free agency this March, but the team was not interested in him. At the time, the Giants had Jameis Winston under contract through 2026, who has since signed a two-year extension.

Flacco eventually re-signed with the Bengals on a one-year, $6 million deal. The Giants will proceed with Winston as their starter, backed up by J.J. McCarthy. With Jaxson Dart now sidelined due to a knee injury, the Giants might be privately regretting not pursuing Flacco when they had the chance. newsbetting.club
