Giants Adding Drew Lock To Quarterback Room

9 months ago

The New York Giants are signing free-agent quarterback Drew Lock to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday. Lock will head to the Big Apple and will presumably serve as the backup to Daniel Jones (knee), who is coming off a torn ACL, in 2024 now that Tyrod Taylor is with the Jets. The former second-round pick of the Denver Broncos in 2019 out of Missouri showed some upside in his four appearances (two starts) as Geno Smith's backup for the Seattle Seahawks last year, going 48-for-76 for 543 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. Lock has been in a backup role since throwing 16 touchdowns and a league-high 15 picks in 13 starts in 2020 before being traded to Seattle before the 2022 season. At best, Lock would probably be a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues if Jones is hurt again in 2024.
