If the Giants are serious about building something with Cam Skattebo, Jaxson Dart, and Tyrone Tracy Jr., then the last thing they should be doing is shopping Tracy around just to see what’s out there.
Yes, Tracy has value. Yes, a team would likely pay more for him than it would for Devin Singletary or Eric Gray. But that doesn’t mean New York should cash out unless the return is strong enough to justify it - and that starts with a Day 2 pick.
At the moment, that price feels like a long shot.
There’s a good reason Tracy belongs in the Giants’ plans. A year ago, nobody really knew whether Skattebo would take over as the lead back or end up sharing the load with Tracy.
Now the picture looks much clearer. If both stay healthy, they could give the Giants their best running back pairing since Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs.
That’s not the kind of setup you casually break apart.
The Giants also didn’t draft a running back in April, which tells you plenty about how they viewed the position heading into training camp. That doesn’t mean they had to take one over defensive tackle Bobby Jamison-Travis, offensive lineman J.C.
Davis, or BYU linebacker Jack Kelly, all of whom were available in the sixth round. But if they truly saw Tracy as movable, adding another back on a standard four-year deal would have made plenty of sense.
Instead, Tracy still has two years of team control left.
Singletary’s situation doesn’t change that enough. He restructured his contract, but he’ll be 29 in September and has already logged plenty of miles. If the Giants are choosing between the two, Tracy is the more logical piece to keep.
Could a trade become more realistic later? Sure.
In October, if a contender is desperate for help at running back, the market could look very different. Teams in today’s NFL are willing to take that swing when the need is urgent.
But right now, before the season gets rolling, there’s no real reason for the Giants to entertain the idea unless someone is willing to make it worth their while. Tracy has trade value. The Giants gain nothing by pretending otherwise.

Giants Fans Just Got A New Reason To Watch Dart Closely
The Giants spent the 2026 offseason reshaping the roster around a new coaching voice, bringing in John Harbaugh and layering in veterans such as Isaiah Likely, Tremaine Edmunds, Greg Newsome II, DJ Reader and Shelby Harris. They also added Arvell Reese, Colton Hood and Malachi Fields in a draft class that drew strong reviews across the league, giving the team a noticeably different look before a snap has been played.
Amid all that turnover, Jaxson Dart has become one of the more interesting figures to watch. Jameis Winston has already praised Darts work ethic, and the young quarterback enters the year with plenty of attention on how he handles a bigger stage and a retooled supporting cast. The upside is obvious, but so is the pressure to clean up some of the pocket habits that showed up in 2025. [Read more 🡒]
Tremaine Edmunds Might Be The Giants Fix Fans Stopped Believing In
The Giants went into the offseason knowing the middle of their defense needed more than a tweak. Last seasons run defense lived near the bottom of the league, and the signing of Tremaine Edmunds was aimed at giving the unit more size, experience and reliable tackling in a spot where opponents had too much room to work.
Edmunds is expected to be the steady starting point New York has been missing, but the rest of the linebacker room is still sorting itself out. Micah McFadden is fighting for his role, Arvell Reese still has to earn snaps, and the Giants are banking on Edmunds to bring some order to a position group that has not offered much of it lately.

Jaxson Dart Just Entered A Debate Giants Fans Will Love
A recent NFL Media mock draft built around each players 2026 outlook gave Giants fans a little jolt of validation, because Jaxson Dart was treated like a quarterback whose stock is rising fast enough to belong in a conversation with established names. The exercise was not about where players were drafted originally, but about how they are viewed now, and Darts inclusion in that kind of discussion says plenty about the buzz he has already created.
Jalen Hurts is the other half of the debate, and the contrast is what makes it interesting for New York. Hurts has a Super Bowl ring, but he is also drawing fresh scrutiny around leadership, long-term viability and whether he is more of a system quarterback than a true team-elevator, while Dart is being framed as a young passer with legitimate upside and the kind of maturity that has helped his reputation grow quickly. For Giants fans, it is the sort of quarterback conversation that feels less like idle chatter and more like a sign that their own future at the position is starting to get noticed. [Read more 🡒]
