Giants are 'open to anything' in the 2025 NFL draft
For NFL front offices and general managers, this week is the official launch of the offseason process with both the East-West Shrine Bowl and the Senior Bowl on tap.
Free agency will be here in six weeks and the 2025 NFL draft six weeks after that. That may seem like a long time to work with, but it goes fast.
New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen, who has the No. 3 overall selection in the draft, was in Mobile, Alabama on Tuesday for the annual Reese's Senior Bowl and, as always, told the media he was keeping his options open in the upcoming draft.
'We're going to be open to anything,' Schoen said, via Giants.com. 'We're in a good position sitting at three with the players that are available. By process of elimination, we know we're going to get a good player. Regardless of what happens the next couple of months, we know there's going to be a really good player there.'
Over the weekend, Schoen was in Arlington, Texas, the site of this year's East-West Shrine Bowl, and met with several of their year's top quarterback prospects, most notably, Colorado's Shedeur Sanders.
'He's a great kid, he's a great kid, a really good personality, football smart, his dad (Deion Sanders) is a football coach,' said Schoen. 'It's a little bit cliché, but he checks all the boxes of a (player with a) dad that is a football coach and the passion that he approaches the game with.
'It was good getting to meet him. He's had a really good career at Colorado and obviously looking forward to getting to knowing all those guys in the rest of the process.'
The Giants also have approximately $53 million in available cap space to use in free agency this March, so Schoen has a lot of ammunition to turn his 3-14 club around.

Why Commanders Must Be Very Careful With Terry McLaurin Extension
Why Commanders Must Be Very Careful With Terry McLaurin Extension originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's a mistake made by many teams around the league. Organizations become so loyal to particular players that they look to give them large contract extensions even when they are past their prime or otherwise slightly unworthy. Advertisement Sometimes, teams extend a player to a long-term deal only to watch their production fall off a cliff after a few years. That's a lesson the Washington Commanders know they must be careful with regarding Pro Bowl wide receiver Terry McLaurin. The Ohio State product is entering the final year of his contract with Washington, and is coming off his best season. He recorded a career-high 13 touchdowns with rookie phenom Jayden Daniels throwing him the football. McLaurin is going to be 30 years old by the time the 2025 season begins, though. While he hasn't shown any signs of slowing down just yet, a decline can happen to any aging player. Advertisement If Washington is going to give their top receiver a long-term extension, they want to make sure they have enough protection on their own end where they won't be hurt by the cap if McLaurin's production dips. It is about a contract with escapability. Add it all up? And it's a good enough reason for the receiver to be frustrated with how contract talks have gone. Washington could be in deep trouble if they extend McLaurin and his Pro Bowl production isn't matched as he gets older. Giving him an extension in the $30 million APY range without the Commanders providing themselves an Eventual out may do more harm than good for the team in the long term. Advertisement That doesn't mean McLaurin isn't worthy of an extension; he absolutely is. It just means Washington needs to be extra careful how they spend their money now and over the next few years. … with a compromise here being the eventual best answer.
