Giants Plan to Add 1 Veteran QB After Jaxson Dart's Season-Ending Knee Injury

Summary
John Harbaugh said the Giants will add a quarterback and left trade, free agency and other routes on the table after Jaxson Dart's season-ending knee surgery.
A veteran appears to be the preference because Jameis Winston struggled against the Rams, but Harbaugh and GM Joe Schoen may have little leverage in a thin market.
Trade targets look limited: contenders are unlikely to move useful backups such as Mac Jones or Davis Mills, while options like Mason Rudolph or Gardner Minshew may not justify the cost.
Street free agents such as Jimmy Garoppolo, Brandon Allen or Josh Johnson may be the cleaner fix, with a J.J. McCarthy trade intriguing but risky for a Giants team already missing its 2027 fourth-round pick.
