Giants named potential landing spot for RB Josh Jacobs, WR Marquise Brown

The New York Giants will enter free agency with obvious needs at multiple positions and could add to that list if running back Saquon Barkley is allowed to walk.

They also have a need for a true WR1, although many anticipate that will be addressed in the 2024 NFL draft.

But not everyone sees it that way, and a trio of Fox Sports writers believe the Giants could be a potential landing spot for wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown.

Brown has just seven touchdown catches in two seasons since Arizona gave up a first-round pick to get him. Can he get back to 1,000+ yards and more scoring? That’s something a new team will probably get to find out, and he’s likely to take a one-year deal to try to re-establish himself as a No. 1 receiver.

In addition to the Giants, the Carolina Panthers and Tennessee Titans were listed as possible destinations for Brown.

Meanwhile, with Barkley possibly departing via free agency, Fox Sports listed running back Josh Jacobs as another likely Giants target.

It’s a cold world for a running back these days, even for someone like Jacobs, who has proved he can run and catch the ball efficiently in his first five NFL seasons. It’s easy to imagine him putting up numbers that rival Christian McCaffrey if Jacobs went to the right team. But it rarely works like that. It’s most likely he tests free agency and returns to the Raiders. If Saquon Barkley leaves New York, the Giants might just look at Jacobs as a worthy replacement. He’d certainly be more reliable than Barkley on the injury front. Plus, Jacobs can be a touchdown machine on the ground. He has two seasons with 12 rushing touchdowns.

The door was left open for Barkley to return, however, and the Giants joined the Chicago Bears and New England Patriots as potential suitors for the superstar back.

The Giants, Bears and Dallas Cowboys were also listed as possible destinations for pending free agent safety Xavier McKinney.
