NJ Advance Media’s Ryan Novozinsky reported that the Giants were “hellbent” on acquiring Stafford, and The Athletic reported Friday that the Giants had discussed a two-year deal between $90-100 million and reports indicated the Giants were willing to go to $50 million a year.

So, the Giants were all-in for Stafford especially when you consider they offered more money than the Rams but also went and added his brother-in-law to the coaching staff. Going to those lengths and still being turned down only shows that the Giants were the last thing on Stafford’s mind from the start.
