Giants to meet with Tyrod Taylor’s representatives before free agency

The New York Giants could be in for some big changes at quarterback this offseason.

Or maybe not.

On Tuesday, during his session with the media at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, general manager Joe Schoen outlined his plans for the team’s unsettled quarterback position.

Schoen is looking to add a quarterback either through the draft or free agency but gave a rundown of his current quarterback room which consists of starter Daniel Jones, who is rehabbing a torn ACL that ended his season after eight games last year, and folk hero Tommy DeVito.

“We’ve had good conversations, and he understands where we are,” Schoen said of Jones. “He understands that we’re going to need to add a quarterback. He’s coming off an injury… he actually started throwing. He’s been throwing for about two weeks stationary. Now, he’s not dropping back or doing any of that stuff. So, he is on track. He’s doing everything he can to get back. We’re optimistic about where he is.”

Schoen mentioned the possibility of bringing back Tyrod Taylor for a third season. The 35-year-old Taylor will be a free agent in two weeks when the new league year begins.

“We’re going to talk to Tyrod’s representatives this week, and Tyrod’s a true pro. He has been really good for not only Daniel but Tommy DeVito and his progress throughout the year,” Schoen said. “He’s a true pro. So, we’ll address the position. Again, it can be through free agency, and it doesn’t preclude us from doing it in the Draft as well.”

Schoen had to throw that last tidbit in there to keep the notion alive that the Giants are open for business this offseason. They own the No. 6 overall selection in the upcoming draft and want to maximize the pick’s value.
