Trade talks are expected to pick up around the league as teams move toward next Tuesday\u2019s deadline to set their 53-man rosters and one player whose name has come up as a possible trade target is Giants quarterback Jameis Winston. <\/p>\n
The Giants signed Russell Wilson and traded up to draft Jaxson Dart in the first round after signing Winston early in free agency, and Dart\u2019s play in the preseason has led to discussions about when he\u2019ll supplant Wilson rather than whether he\u2019ll beat out Winston for the No. 2 job. During a Tuesday press conference, Giants assistant G.M. Brandon Brown was asked if the Giants are listening to calls from other teams about the veteran. <\/p>\n
\u201cI appreciate people that are interested, but Jameis is a New York Giant,\u201d Brown said, via a transcript from the team. \u201cWith the way that he\u2019s gone about his business from day one, he\u2019s made it very intentional with the fact that he wants to be here and he wants to be here for the long haul. Teammates love him, his preparation process, whether it\u2019s the off-field things that he does in terms of community relations, Bible study, things in the locker room, galvanizing the group together, not just the quarterback room, but the offense as a whole. He\u2019s been comic relief, but he\u2019s also been a really good example of how to be a pro in handling your business in terms of prehab, rehab, postgame care. So, I\u2019m happy he\u2019s here, and he\u2019s going to continue to do those things. He hasn\u2019t wavered and he hasn\u2019t been shaken by any distractions at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another round of preseason games kicks off later this week and developments in those contests could lead to more urgent calls from other teams about acquiring Winston to fill out their quarterback rooms. Based on Brown\u2019s comments, that urgency would have to lead to more tempting offers for the Giants to change course. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trade talks are expected to pick up around the league as teams move toward next Tuesday\u2019s deadline to…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":159922,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[1232,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-159921","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115058651031277137","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=159921"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/159921\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/159922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=159921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=159921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=159921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
