Jaxson Dart Eyes Big Upgrade: ‘Adding Veteran Jakobi Meyers Could Take Our Offense to the Next Level’
As the New York Giants continue to search for ways to boost their offensive game, quarterback Jaxson Dart is openly hopeful about the possibility of adding veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers to the roster. In a recent interview, Dart expressed his excitement about the potential impact Meyers could bring to the team. "I’ve been working hard to develop chemistry with all my receivers, but adding a veteran like Jakobi Meyers would definitely help take this offense to the next level. We need someone who can make an immediate impact, and I’m excited about the possibility," Dart shared.
The Giants’ offense has had its ups and downs, particularly in the passing game, and the addition of Meyers, who has proven himself as a reliable target with excellent route-running and hands, could be just what the team needs. With Meyers coming off a strong season with the Las Vegas Raiders, where he had 80 receptions for 1,100 yards and 8 touchdowns, his addition would give Dart a seasoned playmaker who can immediately contribute to the passing game.
Meyers’ ability to stretch the field and make contested catches would provide Dart with another weapon to target, especially in critical moments during games. The chemistry between a quarterback and his receivers is essential for offensive success, and Dart’s belief that Meyers could help build that chemistry is a strong endorsement of the veteran's skills.
The Giants' front office is reportedly considering several trade options to upgrade their receiving corps, and Meyers has emerged as a leading candidate. At 27 years old, Meyers is entering the prime of his career, and while he’s been productive, the potential to pair him with Dart in New York could elevate his performance even further. For a team that is still trying to find its rhythm, having a reliable receiver like Meyers could provide a much-needed spark for the offense.
Whether or not the Giants can secure Meyers through a trade remains to be seen, but the excitement surrounding the possibility is clear. If the Giants make the move, it could signal a new chapter in their offensive strategy, one that provides Dart with the tools to lead the team to success.
With the trade deadline approaching, all eyes are on the Giants' next steps as they look to make moves that could propel them into playoff contention. If they can land a top-tier receiver like Jakobi Meyers, it could make a world of difference for their struggling offense.
Steelers Part Ways with Injured Offensive Lineman Gareth Warren
PITTSBURGH — After an injury knocked a rookie Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman out of action, his time with the organization has officially come to an end. The Steelers waived Gareth Warren, a massive, 22-year-old offensive tackle, according to the NFL's transaction list.
The move comes after Warren was injured during the Steelers’ second preseason game. Diving for a loose ball, he received a concussion and was unable to return for the rest of preseason action. After being waived with the final roster cuts, the team placed him on the Reserved/Injured List. Now healthy, the team is parting ways with him altogether.
With this designation, Warren is now free to sign with any other NFL team.
Unexpected Rise
Warren joined the Steelers after going undrafted during the 2025 NFL Draft. The 6’6”, 330-pound tackle was passed over after finishing his collegiate career at the FCS school Lindenwood. With several NFL teams interested in signing him as an undrafted free agent, he chose to sign in
The step was a continuation of Warren’s rise up the ranks. Born in Kailua Kona, Hawaii, he was a standout player at Kealakaehe High School before becoming joining the Lindenwood Lions. As a junior, he was a part of an offensive line that dominated the conference and FCS competition. The Lions averaged 39.5 points per game and 509.1 yards per game, both tops in the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC).
Lack of Opportunity
Despite showing promise and potential, the road to a spot on the 53-man roster was long. And the road to becoming an impact player at the tackle position even longer.
It’s no disrespect to Warren, but he’s an unrefined player in need of further development and more attention in order to take that next step. Receiving that in Pittsburgh was a low possibility.
The Steelers have two young tackles they fully believe in already. Troy Fautanu has already become an unquestioned staple on the right side, despite this being his first year of playing regular season games in the NFL.
Broderick Jones has similarly gained more and more trust from the Steelers’ coaching staff and starting quarterback, Aaron Rodgers. He and Fautanu haven’t allowed a sack in two straight games, and the offensive line is gelling more and more as the season progresses.
Behind Jones and Fautanu, the Steelers also have veterans like Dylan Cook and Andrus Peat that can step up in the case of injury.
The result is a crowded path for Warren to become an NFL player, and the Steelers are now giving him the chance to catch on somewhere else.
