Brian Daboll has been fired as Giants head coach, source confirms.

From tonight’s #NFLNightcapRecap - The Giants need to fire Brian Daboll. He’s treating Jaxson Dart like his personal job security ticket, rather than the Giants’ most important cornerstone. And he’s a coward.

Jakobi Meyers was one of the most mentioned WRs who could be moved at the deadline, during my conversations with league sources … After requesting a trade back in the summer, the Raiders send Meyers to the Jaguars for a 4th and 6th round pick.
Have to wonder if a Brian Thomas Jr. trade is next.

From tonight’s NFL Nightcap Recap: Take nothing away from Rico Dowdle and the Panthers, but I cannot take the Packers seriously.
This team too often plays up to and down to its competition to have any real chance of meaningfully contending.
