The Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants are supposedly checking out a trade up for a quarterback in the 2024 NFL draft.
Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated reported the groups were “asking around” throughout the NFL integrate week.
Las Vegas has actually been frequently pegged amongst the groups probably to trade up if a top-three choice appears. Raiders coach Antonio Pierce had a direct hand in hiring Jayden Daniels and had a strong relationship with the quarterback while both were at Arizona State. Daniels moved for his last 2 college seasons and discovered superstardom at LSU.
The Giants have a mess of their own development at quarterback after lavishing Daniel Jones with a four-year, $160 million agreement last offseason. Jones is set to count for $47.1 countless the Giants’ cap in 2024, and the group will likely consume that number in order to prevent pressing anymore dead cap into the future.
The Giants can extricate Jones’ agreement next offseason however will need to pay a $22.1 million dead-cap charge.
Whether it’s eventually possible for either the Giants or Raiders to go up is another concern completely. Las Vegas would need to home mortgage a minimum of its 2025 and 2026 first-round choices to go up from No. 13 into the leading 3, which’s most likely simply the beginning point.
The Giants might have the NFL’s worst skill-position group next season if running back Saquon Barkley leaves in complimentary firm. It’s tough to visualize any quarterback flourishing because environment.
