Fireside Giants - A New York Giants Podcast
For the die-hards, by the die-hards, on Empire Sports Media. Stay updated about the New York Giants with "Fireside Giants!"
🚨 Giants Pay Greg Newsome. Now Go Get Jonathan Taylor.
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...
Giants Trade Deadline Wishlist: Jonathan Taylor, Grover Stewart, Tony Pollard
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...
Giants Without Both Starting Tackles? | Week 6 Injury Report
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.

Giants vs Commanders Takeaways: Winston's Comeback, Zvada's Misses, 3-1-1
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...
Should the Giants Trade for Marvin Harrison Jr.? | Mock Trade
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...
🚨 Giants Release Odell Beckham Jr. | Start Jameis or J.J. McCarthy?
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...
🚨 BREAKING: Giants Acquire J.J. McCarthy From the Vikings. Live Reaction
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...

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.

Can the Giants Win Without Jaxson Dart? | Giants vs Titans Preview
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...
Giants Reportedly in the Quarterback Market | Ranking Their Options
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...

What Should the Giants Do About Tyrone Tracy Jr.? | Trade or Keep?
Tyrone Tracy Jr. played two snaps for the Giants against Dallas, fumbled on the second one, and did not touch the ball again. Then he got sent home Wednesday with what John Harbaugh called a bad flu, while Najee Harris keeps ramping toward his Giants debut. This episode is about what the Giants should do with the running back who led the team in rushing as a rookie. The number is seven.
