The New York Giants offense has seen several noteworthy changes this offseason, especially at the skill positions.
The Giants, of course, watched star running back Saquon Barkley sign with the division rival Philadelphia Eagles and lost Darren Waller, their biggest offensive addition of last offseason, to retirement.
Obviously, the offense is going to look much different entering this season than it did before the 2023 season.
CBS Sports recently released their annual NFL triplet rankings and to no surprise, the Giants dropped to 29th in the rankings.
29. New York Giants
QB: Daniel Jones RB: Devin Singletary WR: Malik Nabers
Daniel Jones under center and Devin Singletary behind him just screams “this is temporary.” New York tried unsuccessfully to replace Jones this offseason, and did not restructure his contract like it did last year, before it had even kicked in. Nabers is obviously here to stay, and hopefully for a long time, but it’s not surprising to see New York tumble from its over-inflated ranking last year.
CBS’ triplet rankings are gathered from a panel of 12 of their staffers grading the expected starters at quarterback and running back and their presumed top pass-catcher for the 2024 NFL season.”
Last year, Big Blue ranked 18th on the list with their triplet being Daniel Jones, Saquon Barkley, and Darren Waller.
When you combine the rough, injury-shortened season of Jones in 2023 with the perceived downgrade from Barkley to Singletary and the fact that Malik Nabers has yet to play an NFL snap, it’s pretty easy to see why the Giants significantly dropped on this list.
With an expected improved offensive line, a more durable back in Singletary, and Nabers being one of the more talented pass catchers Jones has played with, both the passing and running game should be improved.
