“You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” No, that’s not Brian Daboll quoting The Dark Knight. But it might as well be, considering his latest move. Word on the street is that the New York Giants’ head coach might be eyeing a switch to the other side of MetLife Stadium. Yep, we’re talking about the New York Jets. The same Jets who seem to collect quarterback controversies like Pokémon cards.

As per Ian Rapoport’s X update, “The #Giants have interest in Aaron Rodgers.” But why would Daboll even consider diving headfirst into that chaos? The answer might just be the NFL’s favorite drama: quarterback controversies. With the Jets’ offense looking like a bad sequel and their QB situation resembling a game of musical chairs, Daboll’s interest raises eyebrows and heart rates alike. The idea of him swapping blue for green has fans spinning faster than a Zach Wilson interception. And let’s not even get started on Aaron Rodgers’s injury saga — that’s a whole Netflix limited series in itself.

But let’s be real: This would be one bold move. Daboll jumping ship might be like Dwight Schrute switching branches in The Office — the chaos would be endless and oddly entertaining. The Jets’ front office might be ready to eat some of that $7.5 million from Cooper Kupp’s contract if they can snag him too.

As Ian Rapoport spilled, “And the Rams have said privately that they’re willing to pick up the $7.5 million, or whatever it is — that they could do that. They could eat some of the salary, making it more palatable to trade. The question is, would somebody still wanna trade for him? And then for them, is it worth paying that $7.5 million versus the draft pick that they would get in the event they trade him? It seems to me more likely than not that it’s headed for a release.” Kupp might not be pulling in $20 million next season, but the idea of him catching passes in green could be a plot twist right out of Game of Thrones.

The Jets’ quarterback room is, to put it lightly, a mess. Daboll’s QB-whisperer skills are evident; he developed Josh Allen into an MVP candidate and even improved Daniel Jones’s performance. If there’s anyone who might fix the Jets’ QB disaster, it’s him. Plus, the Jets have weapons. Garrett Wilson is out there running routes smoother than a Sinatra ballad. And Breece Hall’s legs are fresher than a TikTok dance trend.

Daboll’s masterpiece: Tommy DeVito makes a Giant entry

Meanwhile, over in the blue corner, the Giants just re-signed their cult hero, Tommy DeVito, to a one-year deal. The guy who still lived with his mom during his rookie year and has a fanbase that sounds like they stepped out of a Goodfellas sequel. Known lovingly as “Tommy Cutlets,” DeVito’s return brings a dash of spice to the Giants’ QB mix. In 2023, he went 3-3 as a starter with eight TDs and a 65.3% completion rate. Well, that might not scream “franchise QB,” but it’s enough to keep the Cutlets faithful fired up.

DeVito’s re-signing makes it clear the Giants aren’t ready to roll the dice on a new quarterback just yet. They’re holding on to the undrafted underdog who took more sacks than a grocery clerk on Black Friday. But let’s be honest: if Daboll bolts, the Giants’ offense could end up looking like a group project where the leader suddenly dips out. And with Cooper Kupp potentially out of L.A., the NFC East is shaping up to be juicy.

Kupp’s future, though, remains foggy. After a solid but injury-hampered 2024, his $29.8 million cap hit for 2025 is a heavy lift. As Rapoport put it, “It seems to me more likely than not that it’s headed for a release.” The Rams might need to make that tough call unless they find a taker for that contract. And if Kupp does hit free agency, you can bet the Giants will be one of the first in line. Especially if Daboll decides to stick around.

The thing is, Kupp’s not just any receiver. The guy’s got a Super Bowl MVP and the kind of hands that belong in an Allstate commercial. His 625 receptions in the first 100 games set an NFL record, and even with injuries, he’s still the type of receiver who makes defensive backs question their life choices. His chemistry with Stafford has been smoother than McVay’s hair gel, but that chapter might be closing.

So, what’s next for Daboll, DeVito, and Kupp? Maybe Daboll becomes the Jets’ QB whisperer. Maybe DeVito steps up as the Giants’ starter. And maybe Kupp catches passes in a whole new jersey. Whatever happens, this off-season is shaping up to be as wild as a Breaking Bad finale. One thing’s for sure — September might turn MetLife Stadium into the most dramatic place in football.
