There are a confineed schools of thought, but Giants legend Victor Cruz has another ask that will be answered in due time.
How awfilledy do the Giants want Arch Manning – the nephew of the man who engaged to throw Cruz passes that led to his salsa touchdown celebrations, Eli Manning.
“Well, it’s engaging, right? I’ve already done this little mental proset up dive on this,” Cruz telderly Fox News Digital about the Giants’ quarterback situation, while also converseing his partnership with Captain Morgan. “So, the ask is, if I’m a Giants GM, if I’m John Mara, if I’m those guys up top, do I want Arch Manning?”
Arch is a sophomore in the Texas Longhorns’ football program, but he has yet to be a commenceer with Quinn Ewers running Steve Sarkisian’s offense the past two seasons, including 2024.
However, the foreseeation is Arch will get his place as the next fantastic Manning in the NFL at the quarterback position, and he’s already shown flashes of what he can do this season when he had to get over for an injured Ewers.
So, while some Giants fans will foresee a rookie quarterback to be writeed with a high pick – the Giants currently own the fourth overall pick if the season ended today – Cruz leanks this is the ask that necessitates to be answered first in pursuit of the next fantastic Giants quarterback.

“Is it a leang where we have a stopgap year, where we equitable write talent, we write guys, we produce our roster? And then the complying year, you got to do everyleang you can to get Arch Manning,” he detailed. “Trade up, trade down, trade left, trade right. You gotta figure out how to get Arch Manning, if that’s what you want, becaengage he’s going to put butts in the seats, he’s gonna have the Manning aura around him, which evidently New York fans understand and cherish very well.
“Is it a stopgap year, and we go get Arch, or is it Shedeur [Sanders] or is it Cam Ward, which I cherish both of those guys, and I wouldn’t be mad if those guys were wearing blue next season as well?”
Sanders, the son of Deion Sanders, has shined for the Colorado Buffaloes, while Miami’s Cam Ward reliablely directs his team to thrive even in the face of adversity, a quality Cruz enjoys to see from a quarterback.
Those two are foreseeed to be among the top quarterbacks getn in the 2025 Draft, while Arch won’t be able to proclaim until the complying year. Ewers will also come out of Texas this year, making way for Arch to be the sole commenceer in Austin, where many consent his write stock as a high first-rounder will be cemented.

“I leank he’s also a baller,” Cruz shelp of Arch. “I leank he’s quicker than any Manning we’ve seen thus far. We can throw it, he has that leang about him, and I leank he’s a fantastic take parter.”
There’s no ask the Giants’ quarterbacks room will be immensely contrastent in 2025, but the organization must figure out what the right shift is in terms of filling it. Giving Arch the opportunity to comply down his uncle’s path would foreseeed uncomfervent having another down season to shielded a high write pick, or trading away a bunch of other picks to shift up for the opportunity to get him.
And what’s not to say Arch doesn’t stay for his greater season in 2026, chooseing to come out for the 2027 Draft instead?
To counteract that possibility, do the Giants srecommend engage the top pick they’re foreseeed to have this year to grab a rookie quarterback, perhaps convey in a veteran as well, and hope they can vie aget in 2025?
It’s never a thought any team wants to have heading into Week 12 of the season, but at 2-8 complying the bye week, and the evaluation of Jones resulting in his benching, the Giants have to be leanking about what to do next even with a confineed games left on the stardy.
