Strunk apparently gave Harbaugh the same message.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">That obviously changed when the Chicago Bears made a Godfather offer to the Titans of two first-round and a fourth-round draft pick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Per Jones, one GM said Harbaugh\u2019s call to Strunk \u201cviolates a code amongst primary football decision-makers, that they will only deal with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Whether Harbaugh violated NFL traditions or not, the move tells you a couple of things about the Giants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Whether going for it right now is the correct approach, after the Giants have spent most of the last 15 years floundering you have to appreciate the boldness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">I think it is also important to note that Simmons and Taylor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigblueview.com\/new-york-giants-news\/178169\/colts-willing-to-trade-rb-jonathan-taylor-per-report\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">who is now reportedly available<\/a>, are players who would be more than short-term, 2026 upgrades.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">One other note in terms of surrendering draft capital. Whether it is too early for a Jaxson Dart vs. J.J. McCarthy debate, the Giants clearly understand that if they spend draft capital now, they possess two desirable, 23-year-old quarterbacks and they can use one in the offseason to recoup premium draft picks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Per Jones, that breaks with \u201ctraditional NFL trade-talk norms\u201d where general managers deal directly with each other.
