The New York Giants are in need of a quarterback, and Trevor Lawrence may need a change of scenery.
The Giants are at a crossroads at quarterback after they benched Daniel Jones, demoted him, and then released him from the roster on Friday. The team announced that Jones had asked for his release and that it would grant his request.
Now that the team is back at needing a starting quarterback, WFAN’s Tiki Barber thinks he knows where they need to go in order to find one.
Instead of going through the draft, the former New York Giants running back says the team should go after the former No. 1 overall pick, Trevor Lawrence.
“The only way this works is if the Jaguars decide they are moving on from Doug Pederson and are gonna strip everything down,” Tiki said. “They may want to start over at quarterback.
“The guys running the Giants need to consider that as an option. Figure out the package it’s going to take and trade for Trevor Lawrence.”

Barber thinks Lawrene can easily get back to his 2022 Pro Bowl form with a better system. He believes the Giants can provide that.
Should the Giants do this, they would be committing to another big contract, as Lawrence signed a five-year, $275 million contract before the start of this season.
“He’s only 25 years old. He has the talent…he hasn’t had consistency in his coaching staff,” Tiki said. “If you’re worried about the turnovers, what was Brian Daboll’s greatest accomplishment with Daniel Jones?
“It gives them a chance to find success quicker. They need success. They can’t keep throwing losing records on their resume.”
Trevor Lawrence Needs A Change of Scenery
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has thrown for 2004 yards and 11 touchdowns throughout the first nine games of the 2024 season. He also has six interceptions.
What makes his numbers disturbing is that in those nine games, Lawrence has failed to clear 200 yards passing in five games.
His time may be up in Jacksonville since there has been so much change when it comes to the coaching staff since he has been there.
