Will Joe Flacco soon be a New York Giant?

Why would the Giants want another aging QB? Seems to me Flacco for Eli is six of one, a half dozen of another. The G-Men will either get someone younger via free agency or pick a QB in the draft.

IMHO Flacco is an excellent pocket passer, still has mobility and with Beckham, Shepherd and Barclay would lead a very credible, effective offense for the next two or three years. There is not a premiere college QB in this years draft. It would give the Giants the time to draft a credible heir apparent in 2020,2021 or 2022. Eli has looked decent recently but would not be enthused about him being the starter in 2019.Bottom line is that the Giants would be credible contenders with Flacco at QB.

There don't seem to be any great QB prospects out there in next year's draft. Word on the street here is that the Giants will draft a QB in the second or third round next year and ask Manning to take a big pay cut to be a "transitional" starter for up to 16 games. This is sort of what happened at the start of his career. The Giants signed Kurt Warner to start the first 8 games of Manning's rookie year, then handed the reins over to Manning as the starter.

The Giants might be very interested in Flacco to fill this "bridge" role if Manning refuses to renegotiate his contract with a big pay cut.
