NFL insiders are ‘convinced’ Giants have sights set on Shedeur Sanders

The New York Giants have reportedly inquired about Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford as their hunt for a signal caller continues, but he’s not the potential target on their list.

Even if the Giants manage to acquire Stafford or sign another veteran in free agency, ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reports that NFL insiders are “convinced” general manager Joe Schoen has his sights set on Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders.

Multiple league insiders are convinced the Giants have their sights on Sanders, but that would not necessarily keep the team from targeting a more experienced option at the position. The Giants had Super Bowl-winning quarterback Kurt Warner as their starter when they drafted Eli Manning with the No. 1 pick.

Sanders has been linked to the Giants for months. Clips of him interacting with head coach Brian Daboll and playing catch in the streets of New York City with wide receiver Malik Nabers have gone viral.

The Giants and Sanders are already scheduled for a top 30 visit and although he won’t throw at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, he is expected to meet with Daboll again.

“He got a different kind of swagger about him too, though,” Sanders said of Daboll previously. “He was cool, though, and he was down to earth. He understands kind of how I am and who I am. And I understood him, also. As long as everybody go into a situation where I’m not going to believe anything I see online mutually then it will be a good relationship. You know?”

There have been rumors of some concern the Giants may have about Sanders but in reading the tea leaves, it seems clear he’s their primary draft target.
