The New York Giants (2-3) will host the Cincinnati Bengals (1-4) at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday evening in a Week 6 battle.
That, in fact, gives these of us right here at Giants Wire the chance to hypothetically steal from the Bengals’ roster seeking depth and/or expertise upgrades for Massive Blue.
Reality be advised, there’s actually not a lot to select from out in Cincinnati. Sure, there’s celebrity extensive receiver Ja’Marr Chase, however that theft could be a luxurious. What the Giants actually want are roster upgrades.
Possibly it’s a testomony to normal supervisor Joe Schoen, however there aren’t many upgrades out there when wanting over the Bengals’ roster. Mike Gesicki is one chance given the restricted manufacturing from the Giants’ tight ends this season, however wouldn’t it be sufficient of a lift to warrant the steal? Most likely not.
Finally, there’s just one reliable possibility: Quarterback Joe Burrow.
Sure, Daniel Jones has performed nicely over the previous 4 video games and is holding the Giants aggressive, however Burrow is on a distinct degree. He’s a Tier 1 NFL quarterback when wholesome and would open issues up for the offense, particularly downfield.
The identical manufacturing Burrow will get from Chase could be replicated by rookie Malik Nabers and the argument might be made that Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt are a greater WR2/WR3/WR4 mixture than Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas and Trenton Irwin.
Toss in operating backs Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Burrow would have a area day in East Rutherford.
What are your ideas, Giants followers? Would you choose Joe Burrow or would you steal a wholly completely different participant from the Cincinnati Bengals?
