Fireside Giants - A New York Giants Podcast

Greg Newsome II got paid. The Giants extended the cornerback on Tuesday: three years, $46 million, with $32 million guaranteed, per Adam Schefter. Newsome signed a one-year, $8 million deal in March and got paid seven games in. Then the deadline. John Harbaugh says the Giants are 'turning over every stone' and 'making every call,' and the 4-2-1 Giants lead the NFC East a week before the November 10 trade deadline. Jordan Schultz reports five to six teams are aggressively pursuing Jonathan Taylor, including the Giants, and that Taylor would be open to a fresh start. The Colts want at least a second-round pick plus more. We go through the Giants' running back room with Cam Skattebo day-to-day and Tyrone Tracy Jr. on IR, compare Taylor with Derrick Henry, and build our mock trade. Is Jonathan Taylor a Giant by November 10? Vote in the comments. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

live stream replay. My Giants trade deadline wishlist, live. The Giants are 4-2-1 and first in the NFC East with the NFL trade deadline on November 10, and Joe Schoen is shopping for a running back and a defensive tackle. Wish 1 is Jonathan Taylor. The NY Post reports he is the Giants' top choice, but the Colts want a Christian McCaffrey-style return. Wish 2 is a run stuffer for a defense allowing 4.8 yards per carry: Grover Stewart, Zach Sieler or a Dalvin Tomlinson reunion. Plan B at running back is Tony Pollard, who ran for 117 yards and two touchdowns Sunday. Then my mock trade: one call to Indianapolis, Jonathan Taylor and Grover Stewart for the Giants' 2027 2nd and 3rd plus a late pick. Who says no? Which wish comes true by November 10?

Giants Week 6 injury report, live. Abdul Carter (calf), Andrew Thomas (groin) and Jermaine Eluemunor (calf) all did not practice Wednesday, along with Colton Hood (concussion) and Tyler Nubin (neck). The 3-1-1 Giants host the 1-4 Saints on Sunday. Carter has played 92 percent of the defensive snaps with 2 sacks and 6 QB hits since Brian Burns went down, and he has never missed an NFL game. If both starting tackles sit, Marcus Mbow and rookie J.C. Davis are the likely fill-ins in front of Jameis Winston. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jameis Winston has the New York Giants at 3-1-1 and in first place in the NFC East, five weeks into John Harbaugh's first season and three starts after Jaxson Dart's knee injury. The question for this episode: is it real? The proof. Winston is 2-0-1 as the starter. At Washington he went 33 of 54 for 326 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, and he is the first Giant with back-to-back three-touchdown games since Eli Manning in 2016, per Giants.com. Malik Nabers caught 11 for 121 and the tying touchdown with 1:43 left. Isaiah Likely caught 11 for 94 and two scores. The pass rush finally showed up with five sacks, two from Dru Phillips. The problems. Dominic Zvada went 2 of 5 on field goals, missing from 50, 57 and 46 in overtime. Jayden Daniels ran for 103 yards and two touchdowns, Washington rushed for 202, and the Giants forced zero turnovers while losing two fumbles. Washington had a 42-yard kick lined up to win and never got the snap off. The Eagles and Cowboys are 2-3. The Saints come to MetLife Stadium next at 1-4, then Houston, then the bye.

Marvin Harrison Jr. trade rumors are everywhere, so should the Giants make the call? The No. 4 pick of the 2024 NFL Draft has 5 catches for 85 yards in four games and the league is calling the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have given no indication they want to trade him, per ESPN's Dan Graziano. Adam Schefter says it would not be a surprise if Harrison is moved before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, and the Colts are already making calls. Executives told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler his value is a quality Day 3 pick. The numbers tell the story. Harrison had 885 yards and 8 touchdowns as a rookie, 608 yards in 12 games in 2025, and 13 targets this season while Trey McBride and Michael Wilson have 90 between them, per Pro Football Reference. Behind Malik Nabers, the Giants' next wide receiver is Malachi Fields with 8 catches. Then the mock trade: Kayvon Thibodeaux to Arizona for Marvin Harrison Jr., straight up, no picks. Thibodeaux has zero sacks in 2026 and is a free agent in March on a $14.75 million fifth-year option. Harrison is 24 and under contract through 2027 with a 2028 option, per Spotrac. The cost is real: Brian Burns is on injured reserve and the Giants have three sacks in four games. Straight up, Kayvon Thibodeaux for Marvin Harrison Jr. Who says no, the Giants or the Cardinals?

The Giants release Odell Beckham Jr. three games into his return: 20 offensive snaps, one target and zero catches, stuck behind Malik Nabers, Darnell Mooney and Malachi Fields. We go through why the reunion never fit and what the roster squeeze says about the week. Then the bigger question. Jaxson Dart is out for the regular season, Jameis Winston is 1-0 as the starter after a 12-7 win over Tennessee, and the Giants just traded a 2027 fifth-round pick for J.J. McCarthy. Winston is completing 51 percent with no touchdown passes in 2026; McCarthy went 6-4 as a starter in Minnesota last year with 11 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. John Harbaugh says Winston starts against Arizona. How long should that last? Drop your pick in the comments: Jameis all season, J.J. right now, or J.J. by midseason?

THIS IS A LIVE STREAM REPLAY FROM THE FIRESIDE GIANTS YOUTUBE CHANNEL. The Giants trade for J.J. McCarthy: the quarterback comes over from the Minnesota Vikings on Monday for a 2027 fifth-round pick, pending a physical, six days after Jaxson Dart's season-ending knee surgery. We react live. McCarthy went 10th overall in 2024, missed his rookie year on injured reserve, then started 10 games in 2025: 6-4, 140 of 243 for 1,632 yards, 11 touchdowns, 12 interceptions and a 72.6 passer rating. The Vikings named Kyler Murray their starter in August, and today they moved him for a Day 3 pick. We break down the price, the contract (a fully guaranteed rookie deal with a 2028 fifth-year option the Giants now control), the John Harbaugh connection to Jim Harbaugh's Michigan title team, and the real question: Jameis Winston starts Sunday against Arizona, but with 229 passing yards in two games, how long does that last? Plus where the 2-1 Giants stand with Dart out and Brian Burns awaiting an MRI. Grade the trade in the chat: A, C or F? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

THIS EPISODE IS A REPLAY OF A LIVE STREAM ON THE FIRESIDE GIANTS YOUTUBE CHANNEL. Giants vs Titans reaction, live from the final whistle: Giants 12, Titans 7 at MetLife, the first win without Jaxson Dart, and Brian Burns down with a right knee injury in the fourth quarter. Anthony Rivardo goes live with Alex Wilson of Empire Sports Media. Jameis Winston went 14 of 22 for 118 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions in a nor'easter. Every Giants point came from rookie kicker Dominic Zvada, four for four from 39, 27, 39 and 30 yards. The offense ran it 33 times for 138 yards, Cam Skattebo had 100 from scrimmage, Najee Harris added 52 on nine carries, and the Giants held the ball for 34:26. The red zone number is the problem: 0 for 2, and 4 of 13 on third down. The defense and Jordan Stout won the game. Stout averaged 50.5 on six punts with three inside the 20 and a 74-yarder. Jevon Holland picked off Cam Ward in the end zone with 17 seconds left, his third interception in three games. Arvell Reese led everyone with 13 tackles. Tennessee gained 262 yards and turned it over twice, including Chimere Dike's fumble on the opening kickoff. All numbers per the ESPN box score. Then the Burns question. He played six days after spraining his left ankle in Los Angeles and left grabbing the other knee. Cardinals at MetLife next Sunday. Burns down, Winston at 118 yards: is 2-1 real?

Giants vs. Titans Week 3 preview and prediction. Sunday, September 27, 1 PM ET at MetLife Stadium on CBS. The Giants are 1-1 and 2.5-point favorites after the line opened at 5.5 before the Jaxson Dart news. Jameis Winston makes his 90th career start with Dart on injured reserve after knee surgery. Winston is 3-9 in his last 12 starts and went 11 of 27 for 111 yards in relief at the Rams. Brian Daboll, fired by the Giants at 2-8 in 2025, is now the Titans' offensive coordinator, and Brian Callahan and Dennard Wilson moved the other way. The Titans are 0-2. Cam Ward has 323 passing yards, one touchdown and no interceptions through two games, and Tennessee has punted on 61.1 percent of its possessions per Sharp Football Analysis, the only team in the league over 50 percent. Final injury report: Brian Burns (ankle), Deonte Banks (calf) and Tyler Nubin (calf) are questionable, and Burns missed all three practices. Andrew Thomas and Malik Nabers have no designation. For Tennessee, Cor'Dale Flott (quad) and Tyjae Spears (ankle) are questionable and Tony Pollard is off the report. Giants cover 2.5, Titans win outright, or Giants win without covering?

Giants quarterback options after Jaxson Dart's injury, ranked. With Dart out for the regular season after knee surgery, Jameis Winston is the Giants' starter and Jake Haener sits on the practice squad. Now the Giants weigh adding a quarterback, and we rank every option. The free agents: Jimmy Garoppolo (43-21 as a starter, 67.4% career completion, but no pass attempts in 2025) and Jake Browning, released by Tampa Bay at cutdowns. The trade market: Mac Jones, who went 5-3 filling in for Brock Purdy last season but, per Adam Schefter, would cost a lot, and Gardner Minshew, who played for Giants OC Matt Nagy in Kansas City. The upside swings: J.J. McCarthy, now third string in Minnesota after 11 TDs and 12 INTs in 2025, and Joe Milton, a practice squad arm in Dallas. Per Schefter, the Giants have not contacted Minnesota about McCarthy or San Francisco about Jones, and will evaluate after Week 3. We give our board, compare every option to Winston's Week 2, and put it to a vote. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
