State of the NFC East – Where Do New York Giants Stand Entering 2024?

As a result of the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles’ losses during the Wild Card weekend, the four NFC East teams—the Washington Commanders and the New York Giants being the other two—are officially done for the foreseeable future. Despite having a dismal and injury-plagued season, the Giants finished 6-11, although they did manage a 3-3 record versus division opponents. But two of those victories came against the Commanders, who, while they’re still getting used to life under new owner Josh Harris, finished fourth in the division. The Cowboys, who unseated the Eagles as Division champions, made their predictable one-and-done showing in the postseason, with questions swirling regarding the futures of head coach Mike McCarthy and quarterback Dak Prescott. And the Eagles, who lost to the Giants in Week 18, face even bigger questions regarding head coach Nick Sirianni’s suitability to lead the team back to the promised land. So, while the Giants fell short of their goal to close the gap with the Eagles and Cowboys, who combined to beat the Giants in three division games, each by at least two scores, let’s take a deeper dive into the NFC East.

And just as everything seems to be bigger in The whispers surrounding owner Jerry Jones’s next move are just as real in Texas. Getting the eventual Hall of Fame head coach in Bill Belichick would be a major boon for Jones. However, don’t count on that happening until Jones is prepared to give up command of the general manager responsibilities he appears to value highly. Dak Prescott, the Cowboys’ quarterback, is a bigger question mark since he consistently fails to deliver in crucial moments, as demonstrated against the Packers in the Wild Card round. The decision facing the Cowboys is whether to go in a different way or try again with Prescott, who has one more year left on his deal that includes a $5 million roster bonus.

Although Dallas’ prospects of selecting a top quarterback prospect are slim given their current position in the draft order (24th), there is no official rule stating that a franchise quarterback has to be selected in the first round.
