The Giants landed star Penn State pass rusher Abdul Carter with the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft — but that doesn’t mean they didn’t try to take a quarterback.

The Tennessee Titans had plenty of enticing options to trade down from No. 1 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, but ultimately Cam Ward was too enticing an option to pass up. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the New York Giants offered a package of picks including their No.

This comes after months of speculation that the Giants — who are as desperate as any team for a long-term QB answer — would trade up for Ward. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday that new Titans GM Mike Borgonzi rejected a “package of picks” from the Giants that would have included a third-rounder this year.
