The Giants, coming off a 6-11 season that was largely toast by Week 6, have a ton of decisions to make this offseason.
As Joe Schoen & Co. look to rework the roster while creating a team that looks more like the 2022-23 version that many thought had Big Blue on the upswing, here are the two biggest questions they have on their plate:
– What do they do at quarterback? Daniel Jones‘ health and readiness is an open question following ACL surgery, and his Giants future is murky because of his lengthy injury history, poor play this season, and the possibility that they’ll draft his successor in April.
– What do they do with Saquon Barkley? After amassing 1,242 all-purpose yards this past season, Barkley is again a free agent, and the Giants might tag him for a second time … or let him walk … or re-sign him.
Beyond the QB situation and uncertainty surrounding Saquon is a need to finally get the offensive line right, add a legitimate No. 1 option (or close to it) to a wide receiver group that has promise but no sure things, and beef up the defense.
While there were only five teams worse than the Giants in 2023-24 when it came to total yards allowed per game, the secondary was actually somewhat solid — in the middle of the pack at No. 19, allowing 229.3 yards per game.
Part of that of course had to do with cornerback Adoree’ Jackson, who is set for free agency.
Should the Giants bring him back?
Why it makes sense for Jackson to stay
For one thing, Jackson wants to remain a Giant.

It might hurt. That’s the natural human tendency, even when I got released from Tennessee.”
Jackson, who will be entering his age-29 season, is coming off the most games he’s played during his three-year Giants tenure — suiting up…
