One of the strangest, and most overlooked, storylines from the early days of the 2025 season has flowed from the Giants’ refusal to allow their backup quarterbacks to speak to reporters. It’s a blatant violation of the NFL’s media rules, and it seems that a message was sent, and received, by the team.
Both Jaxson Dart and Jameis Winston spoke to reporters on Friday, as the Giants prepare to face the Cowboys on Sunday.
Dart was asked about, among other things, the existence (per NFL Media) of a package of plays for the first-round rookie.
“I don’t know if it’s as much as a package of plays,” Dart said. “I’m just preparing for whatever chance that I get. There’s not a specific game plan or anything like that. It’s me just trying to be prepared and be ready whenever my number’s called.”
The comments came after it seemed that Giants coach Brian Daboll at least considered the possibility of making a change from Russell Wilson to Dart after only one game — and at a time when plenty of fans are calling for it. Dart was asked whether he hears any of the noise.
