Description

The 2024 New York Giants season is one that fans would love to forget—but can’t. From front-office blunders to one of the worst records in franchise history, this year was a disaster from top to bottom. And, thanks to Hard Knocks, the embarrassment was put on full display for the world to see.Offseason Moves: Who Came and Who LeftThe writing was on the wall for this Giants team even before the season started. The front office made some controversial decisions that ended up shaping (or sinking) the year:Key Losses:Saquon Barkley (RB) – Signed with the Eagles on a 3-year, $37.75M deal. He then went on to put up 2,000+ rushing yards and help Philly win the Super Bowl. Let that sink in.Xavier McKinney (S) – Walked in free agency, signing with the Packers, weakening an already suspect secondary.Leonard Williams (DL) – Traded to the Seahawks in 2023, but his absence was still felt in 2024.Adoree' Jackson (CB) – The team moved on, leading to even bigger issues in coverage.Sterling Shepard (WR) – A longtime Giant, gone.Key Additions:Brian Burns (EDGE) – Acquired in a trade with the Panthers to bolster the pass rush.Malik Nabers (WR) – Drafted 6th overall, the rookie was one of the lone bright spots with 109 catches for 1,024 yards and 7 TDs.Devin Singletary (RB) – Signed in free agency to replace Barkley but was nowhere near as productive.Drew Lock (QB) – Brought in as a backup option for Daniel Jones.Isaiah McKenzie (WR) – A depth addition at wide receiver.The Saquon Barkley Fallout & ‘Hard Knocks’ DisasterWe all knew losing Barkley was bad, but Hard Knocks made it 10x worse. The leaked phone call between GM Joe Schoen and Barkley—where Schoen basically told him to test the market—was a disaster for the franchise. Barkley later admitted that he didn’t even know the call was recorded, and once he heard it, he knew his Giants days were over. Fans watched helplessly as Barkley thrived in Philly while the Giants collapsed.Season Recap: Rock BottomFinal Record: 3-14 – The worst in Giants history.Offense: 30th in total yards, 31st in points per game – Not much more needs to be said.Defense: 27th in rushing yards allowed per game (136.2 YPG) – Couldn’t stop a nosebleed.Bright Spots (Yes, There Were a Few)Malik Nabers (WR) – The reason for hope, breaking the Giants' rookie receptions record.Tyrone Tracy (RB) – A surprise contributor with 839 rushing yards, 5 TDs.Dexter Lawrence (DL) – Still a force, leading the team with 9 sacks.Looking Ahead: Rebuilding from Rock BottomThe New York Giants head into the 2025 NFL offseason with a 3-14 record, the third overall pick in the draft, and a desperate need to turn things around. With Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen returning, all eyes are on how they’ll reshape the roster after a disastrous season.2025 NFL Draft StrategyHolding the No. 3 overall pick, the Giants have several directions they could go. While the quarterback position remains a huge question mark, the Giants must also address offensive line struggles, a depleted secondary, and a lack of depth at wide receiver.Can they make the right moves, or will this franchise remain stuck in a cycle of mediocrity? We’re breaking it all down on ‘We Stomped You Out’—don’t miss it!
