2. New York Giants

Prescott ending up in East Rutherford would be a nightmare for the Cowboys and their fans, but it's certainly a possibility.

General manager Joe Schoen has all but confirmed this is Daniel Jones' last season with the team. Jones has no guaranteed money left on his four-year contract after 2024, so the expectation is the Giants will cut him loose next offseason.

The pre-draft buzz seems to hint at the Giants selecting a quarterback in the first round, but the sixth overall pick leaves them in a precarious position. Does UNC's Drake Maye potentially fall that far? Will they reach on Michigan's J.J. McCarthy or potentially take Washington's Michael Penix Jr. in round two?

If New York doesn't come away with a QB in round one, that swings the door wide open for them to pursue Prescott in free agency. They only have $34 million in cap space in 2025, but moving on from Jones would free up $30 million and they'd net additional funds if tight end Darren Waller retires.

Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll are under immense pressure after the Giants won six games last season after their playoff appearance in 2022. Signing Prescott would answer all of their questions at quarterback.
