Shortly after the New York Giants traded back into the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft to grab Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart at pick No. 25, individuals such as ESPN Giants reporter Jordan Raanan and Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio suggested that head coach Brian Daboll and general manager Joe Schoen made the move in an attempt to remain with the organization beyond the 2025 season.

Not long after the Giants selected Abdul Carter with the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll descended from the second floor of the team facility to discuss the fairly easy decision to go with Carter.

The Giants face the NFL’s toughest schedule in 2025, coming off back-to-back debacle seasons (6-11 in 2023 and 3-14 in 2024). Schoen and Daboll are both on a scorching hot seat. So if the Giants struggle early with Wilson starting, how soon will this regime go to Dart?
