The highly anticipated premiere date for Netflix’s upcoming documentary series on the New York Giants and other franchises has been revealed.
If the Giants don’t get Aaron Rodgers, who might they sign? They have little alternatives.
Aaron Rodgers is still unsigned as we enter the third day of free agency.
According to practically every insider, the Giants and Vikings are still viable options, but all indications lean to the four-time MVP joining the Pittsburgh Steelers.

But let’s be honest: Rodgers isn’t likely to choose the Giants unless general manager Joe Schoen suddenly turns into a mesmerizing negotiator.
For a 41-year-old who threw 3,897 yards and 28 passing touchdowns the previous season, the Vikings and Steelers are simply too alluring.
In the event that the Giants lose out on him, what should they do? They already made a mistake with Matthew Stafford, their seasoned quarterback plan A. Plans C, D, E, and F are who?
The choices are… dismal.
Finding the greatest rookie in the draft was always the Giants’ top offseason objective, so let’s reiterate that before we look at some names. Although it was never required, it would be excellent to match the newbie with a dependable veteran.
Alright, let’s get back to the topic. Pro Football Focus ranks Marcus Mariota (164th), Jameis Winston (84th), Mason Rudolph (169th), and Russell Wilson (45th) among the top free agency quarterbacks. These don’t exactly shout “franchise savior.”
Wilson is undoubtedly their first pick. In 11 starts for the Steelers last season, the Super Bowl XLVIII winner passed for 2,482 yards and 16 touchdowns. Wilson would provide Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward a plethora of experience; he visited with the Giants during the previous offseason.
However, it’s not a certain that he will be signed. Not even close. The Titans and the Vikings are two other teams that may pursue Rodgers if he joins with Pittsburgh. Minnesota is in a far better position than the Giants if Wilson is going to sit at some time.
What would happen, then, if they missed Wilson?
Winston, who recently stated to NJ Advance Media that he was “absolutely” interested in signing with the Giants, would be their next best pick. The 31-year-old concluded 2024 with 2,121 throwing yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. In one season, he previously threw 33 touchdowns and 30 interceptions.
He would most likely be awful. However, it would undoubtedly be enjoyable.
Fans of the Giants aren’t even interested in learning what would happen if they had to switch to Plans E, F, G, etc. We’re discussing jerks like Mac Jones, Joe Flacco, Mariota, and Rudolph. The apocalypse scenario is that.

In conclusion, Schoen had best hope that Wilson or Rodgers decide to join the Giants. Otherwise, his employment depends on how well the rookie quarterback he selects performs. I wish you luck in your endeavor.
