So, the Big Blue has released Daniel Jones after a dismal season. All of it happened thick and fast for any party to react to it, but just go with the flow. The flow has led Jones out. Now, in a season that’s almost lost (2-8 start), they are already planning their next move: Shedeur Sanders. Or so the reports say.
I mean, the Giants versus the Cowboys for Sanders? That feels more like a mismatch than an actual rivalry, but hey, anything can happen. Reports are swirling that Sanders is a “top target” for both franchises. Scouts are saying the Cowboys might have the inside track. Think about it—his dad’s history, his Texas roots, and Jerry Jones probably calling him “family” already.
But don’t count the Giants out just yet. Word is, they’ve been flooding Colorado games with scouts like it’s the NFL Combine. It’s clear both teams see Sanders as the golden ticket.

Shedeur Sanders is reportedly a “top target” for both the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants.
Many NFL scouts reportedly believe Sanders “prefers” the Cowboys, given his father’s history, where he grew up, and his ties to Jerry Jones.

Now, so far, it was just the wants and wishes. But the reality might come as a boulder. The other way of viewing this ‘report‘ might give you an understanding of what a laborious game of money, power, and patience this is.
The Giants? Desperate to rebuild a broken franchise. Dallas? Gunning to bring America’s Team back to its glory days. Um… The Cowboys Nation can put a strong case to bring Shedeur as well. Especially after JJ with another (weekly) vague remark: “Any time that we’ve made players the highest-paid, we’ve won Super Bowls.” In short: handing Dak Prescott a $240 million contract is their key to still believing (despite the 3-8 record).
But here’s the wild card: Deion Sanders might veto the pick if his son ends up in New York. Can you imagine that? Coach Prime pulling an Eli Manning move, but this time, it’s reversed and personal. (Remember when Eli refused to play for the Chargers, who had the first pick, forcing a trade to the Giants?). This Shedeur saga seems to be heading in a similar direction.
What’s your perspective on:
Will Deion Sanders pull an Eli Manning move if Shedeur lands with the Giants?
Have an interesting take?
Is Shedeur Sanders the solution to the Giants’ problems?
The Giants are in a free fall this season, sitting at 2-8 and officially cutting ties with Daniel Jones. That move wasn’t shocking—Jones himself reportedly asked to be let go. But now, the hunt for the next QB1 is on, and Shedeur Sanders’ name is dominating the rumor mill.

But here’s the catch: Shedeur is playing it cool when it comes to the Big Blue. His “no comment” when asked about the Giants doesn’t exactly scream anything. And he is showcasing more and more why he is not Deion.
As for the chatters surrounding him, they are understandable. I mean, the CU Buffs QB1 has thrown over 3,200 yards and 27 touchdowns in just ten games. So, that’s proof enough as to why he’s wanted! Coupled with the accuracy, the leadership, and—let’s not ignore—the swagger to give any struggling team a lifeline, he might just be the guy after Jones to revamp the Giants’ O.
However, the gossip is that Shedeur leans toward Dallas, thanks to family ties and his dad’s history with Jerry Jones. So, if the Giants want their man, they might have to fight for him—and maybe climb the draft board, too.

But that’s not the only twist in such a hot up-and-coming QB future. Funnily enough, many sources report Shedeur and his dad seem to have eyes on Sin City. The Raiders? Swoop in, punch out—smooth operator, if true. But, if we are to dissect with what’s at hand, then landing him could change everything for the Giants. Pair that arm strength and out-of-pocket maneuvers with young talents like Malik Nabers, and you might see blue fireworks in New York. Now, the time will tell if the fireworks will get out of the dreams or not. But this is one to keep an eye on.
