Drew Lock To Have A Chance At Starting Job?

Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider said on a Seattle radio show on Thursday that he wanted to keep quarterback Drew Lock around, but the New York Giants "basically sold him on the opportunity to compete to be the starter." Schneider said that Lock views the situation with the Giants as possibly being similar to Baker Mayfield in Tampa last year. Lock might think he has a better shot of unseating Daniel Jones in New York for the starting gig under center than in Seattle for Geno Smith, but there's no way of knowing exactly what the G-Men are thinking. Most likely, the Giants are giving themselves more insurance at QB for Jones, who is coming off a torn ACL in 2023. Despite the addition of Lock in free agency, the Giants remain a candidate to trade up in the first round to take a signal-caller of the future. Lock could make starts for the Giants in 2024 if Jones struggles or gets hurt again, but at best, he'd be a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues.
