Report: Giants agree to terms with backup QB Colt McCoy

The New York Giants have reportedly agreed to terms with backup quarterback, Colt McCoy.

According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, the Giants will add to their backup quarterback options behind Daniel Jones by bringing in McCoy.

McCoy spent the past five seasons with the Washington Redskins. In 2019 he made one start and completed 66.7 percent of his passes for 122 yards and one pick.

In recent days, there was a report that the Giants were interested in bringing in another quarterback — namely Matt Moore — to compete with Alex Tanney, who had his option picked up earlier this offseason.

It appears the Giants have found that guy in McCoy, and that is not good news Tanney’s prospects of being the backup in 2020.

By default, McCoy is easily the better option, as Tanney has played in just two games and has never made a start. Meanwhile, McCoy has played in 39 career games, with 28 starts.
