  • Regarding the possibility of trading Foles, Peterson said: “We will get Carson Wentz back at some point. Right now, looking at our QB situation if it is not at the top it is 1 or 2 in the NFL. We will see how the Spring unfolds.” (Sirius XM NFL Radio)

Giants

  • Giants GMย Dave Gettleman said of possibly trading the No. 2 pick: โ€œIf someone makes me an offer I canโ€™t refuse, would I move back? It depends on whoโ€™s there. (At 2) youโ€™re drafting what you think will be a Hall of Fame player. You canโ€™t get too cute.โ€ (Ralph Vacchiano)
