    Welcome to the offseason. By the way, why are the Giants keeping Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll?

    The Giants' season has ended, and with a 3-14 record, you would think there would be changes, starting with General Manager Joe Schoen and Head Coach Brian Daboll. Despite owner John Mara's lack of "patience," he is bringing them back.

    In our Talk is Cheap "supershow," Darryl Slater, Ryan Novozinsky, and Chris Franklin discuss the decision to retain Schoen and Daboll. The trio also discusses the free agents the Giants should re-sign or target, as well as what the team should do with the third overall pick.

    Will the Giants mess things up again and win their season finale against the Eagles?

    The Giants unexpectedly won last week's game against the Atlanta Falcons, dropping them from the No. 1 pick to No. 4 in the draft, with the possibility of falling even further if they defeat the Eagles and their backup players Sunday afternoon. Talk Is Cheap co-hosts Ryan Novozinsky and Chris Franklin discuss whether the Giants will win again and slip further down the draft board. They also explore whether general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll could survive Black Monday if the team ends the season with a two-game win streak, and whether Drew Lock should or could be a candidate to serve as a "bridge" quarterback next season.

    The holiday season is still going on, and the Giants continued their 2024 tradition of losing at home again, this time to rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday.

    Should the Giants consider drafting Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward, or should they trade back in this year's draft?

    The Giants are 2-12 and in position to secure the top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. With three games remaining, they face an intriguing decision at quarterback, as two of the top prospects are likely to be available if they choose to go in that direction.

    Talk is Cheap co-hosts Ryan Novozinsky and Chris Franklin explore whether the Giants should draft Colorado's Shedeur Sanders, Miami's Cam Ward, or trade back to acquire more picks. They also discuss the team's chances of landing the top pick, preview the upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons and their new starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr., and share behind-the-scenes details of a recent story about a banner plane displaying a message meant for owner John Mara.

    Are the Giants stuck in a 'dumpster fire,' or can John Mara find the right people to rebuild the team?

    The Giants' 14-11 loss to the New Orleans Saints dropped their record to 2-11 this season and 0-7 at home. Fans are frustrated, with one hiring a plane to fly a banner reading, "Mr. Mara Enough — Plz Fix This Dumpster Fire."

    Talk Is Cheap co-hosts Darryl Slater and Chris Franklin discuss whether there should be any confidence in Mara rectifying things and bringing in the right people to turn the franchise around. They also examine the Giants' struggles at home and debate whether the Giants or Jets present a better job opportunity for a coach or general manager.

    Should the Giants turn to Kirk Cousins, Jameis Winston, or someone else to be their bridge QB next season?

    The Giants will be looking for a quarterback next season, and they are in position to grab one of the top prospects in the draft after their Thanksgiving loss to the Dallas Cowboys dropped their record to 2-10. While the young quarterback learns the ropes, the Giants could bring in a veteran to hold the fort. Talk Is Cheap co-hosts Ryan Novozinsky and Chris Franklin discuss potential veteran options. They also discuss whether Drew Lock or Tommy DeVito should start the final five games of the season and whether the Giants will tank for the No. 1 pick in the draft—or end up spoiling their chances by winning a game or two.

    Have Giants players quit on head coach Briah Daboll?
