Giants claim quarterback Nathan Rourke off waivers from Patriots
NY Post
It turns out that the Giants were not done adding quarterbacks just because the NFL draft passed.
The Giants claimed Nathan Rourke off of waivers Tuesday from the Patriots, The Post confirmed.
The twist is that Rourke previously tried out for the Giants as a receiver during rookie minicamp in 2021, during the final year of the Dave Gettleman-Joe Judge era.
Rourke went undrafted out of Ohio University in 2021 but earned his ticket to the NFL by starring in his native Canadian Football League.
He set the CFL single-season record by completing 78.7 percent of his passes in 2022, when, despite missing eight games with a foot injury, he was named the league’s Most Outstanding Canadian after a 25-touchdown season.
Rourke, 25, was the odd man out in New England after the drafting of two quarterbacks — first-rounder Drake Maye and sixth-rounder Joe Milton.
One man is already seemingly trying to get his foot in the door to become the next head coach of the Jets.
PHOENIX — You think of Tom Thibodeau, you think of defense.
It feels right that on the day we celebrate Aaron Judge joining an elite pantheon of athlete — the multi-time winner of the Most Valuable Player award — that we take a walk back to the beginning, when Judge was little more than a 6-foot-7, 280-pound curiosity who mostly specialized in striking out.
The NFL has warned its players to take precautions against a “transnational crime ring” that is suspected of orchestrating a number of break-ins of athletes’ homes including Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.

PHOENIX — Jalen Brunson didn’t want to comment on the NBA looking into his father’s promotion and contract as a potential salary-cap circumvention, but the point guard certainly had a message to anybody questioning Rick Brunson’s coaching credentials.
PHOENIX — Wednesday brought some cautiously optimistic updates for the Knicks frontcourt.
The Greatest Escape in franchise history was perpetrated by Glen Sather, when the general manager extricated himself and the Rangers from the final five years of Scott Gomez’s contract by moving the $7,357,143-per-year center to Montreal on June 30, 2009 after two years in New York.
The Yankees publicly are on the same page: Hal Steinbrenner, like Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone before him, said that issues with the club’s fundamentals did not hover over the team all season.
The first day of the rest of Daniel Jones’ dwindling time with the Giants arrived Wednesday, with Jones in the building, in the meetings, on the practice field (although not doing very much) and not at all part of the game plan for the next game, relegated to a non-participant role for the remainder of the season.
