Giants consider trading for Saints QB Spencer Rattler after Dart injury
Summary

The New York Giants are exploring a trade for New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler following a knee injury to starting QB Jaxson Dart during Week 2. Dart was injured in a game against the Los Angeles Rams, raising concerns about the Giants’ quarterback depth. With Jameis Winston’s struggles to stabilize the offense off the bench, the Giants view Rattler, currently serving as a backup for the Saints, as a potential solution. Reports suggest a trade involving a 2027 fifth-round pick from the Giants in exchange for Rattler and a 2028 seventh-round pick could be beneficial for both teams. Rattler has experience as a starter and could provide necessary support if Dart's absence is prolonged.
