Let’s look at that as we continue our player-by-player profiles of the 90-man roster the Giants will bring to training camp.The basicsHeight: 6-foot-2Weight: 240Age: 31Position: LinebackerExperience: 7How he got hereA journeyman linebacker/special teams player, Stupar was signed by the Giants after being let go by the New Orleans Saints at the end of the preseason. Stupar has played for the Philadelphia Eagles, Jacksonville Jaguars, San Francisco 49ers Youth Eli Manning Jerseys , Atlanta Falcons and Saints.With the Giants a second ago he was second on the team to Michael Thomas in special teams snaps (336) and tackles (7).2019 outlook The Giants have a number of young linebackers bidding for rosters spots, including Ryan Connelly, Tae Davis, Mark McLaurin and Joseph Tauaefa. If Stupar is to hold them off it will be because of his acumen on coverage teams Eli Manning Jerseys Stitched , not his ability as a linebacker. Washington clearly needs a quarterback.And they may be interested in jumping ahead of a division rival who does too.According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Washington has “explored” moving into the top five picks in the 2019 NFL Draft.(In a related note, the boss just mentioned this as a possibility in his one-and-only mock draft, which is why you should click here and read the whole thing.

(Though the Jets clearly have the third overall pick for sale).It would also serve to leapfrog the Giants, who pick sixth overall and need a quarterback whether they admit it or not.Washington traded for Case Keenum, but needs a long-term plan after Alex Smith‘s gruesome broken leg from last year. Backup Colt McCoy‘s also recovering from three procedures on his broken leg.
