Giants’ chaotic draft-day maneuvering for Jaxson Dart trade included mystery team ‘backing out’
NY Post
The Texans might not have been Joe Schoen’s first choice in the Jaxson Dart trade.
Behind-the-scenes footage released by the Giants from draft night shows Schoen on the phone with an unnamed general manager during the first round asking, “Are you still good to do this?”
It then cuts to Schoen telling the rest of the Giants brass that the mystery GM backed out on the deal.
“All week he said he would do this deal and now he’s backing out on us,” Schoen says.
The ensuing series of cuts leave it deliberately unclear whether what comes next is part of the same conversation, but it’s clear Schoen was stressed about how the 2025 NFL Draft might fall from there.
“Does that tip the hand, New York’s now trying to move up?” he says at one point.
