1 week ago | sports.yahoo.com | Connor Hughes

The offseason program is over. It’s officially summer break for the Giants. That doesn’t mean this team is off your mind, though. We figured it would be a good time to open the mailbag and answer your questions as the team takes a few weeks off before getting back together for training camp. AdvertisementOff we go …There’s nothing Dart can do to win the starting job out of training camp. There is no competition. Russell Wilson is the guy.

The offseason program is over. It’s officially summer break for the Jets. That doesn’t mean this team is off your mind, though. We figured it would be a good time to open the mailbag and answer your questions as the team takes a few weeks off before getting back together for training camp. AdvertisementOff we go…You’ll get a clearer picture of that come training camp. Organized team activities and minicamp are largely just passing camps. There’s very, very little running absent a play here or there.
Giants Minicamp Notes: Jaxson Dart proves he belongs, but there's no QB controversy

You see fights often in training camp. Players are in full pads. Temperatures near or eclipse triple digits. Bang into the same person for two weeks and the last thing you want to do is bang into them again. One pushes. Another pushes. Fight. During the offseason program, though? Condensed, padless workouts resembling summer camp? No. Players don’t fight then. AdvertisementThat’s what made that brawl between Kayvon Thibodeaux, Brian Burns, James Hudson, and Jermaine Eluemunor so fascinating.

FLORHAM PARK – They didn’t have to be there. Absolutely no right-minded person would have faulted cornerback Sauce Gardner and receiver Garrett Wilson for skipping the Jets' voluntary offseason program, and paying the $100,000 price for a minicamp absence, too. The two are among the best at their positions. In Gardner’s case, his two first-team, All-Pro honors put him in the hierarchy of all players in the league. Both are on their rookie contracts. Both are eligible for contract extensions.

EAST RUTHERFORD – The Giants' plan at quarterback evolved during their second week of organized team activities. Jaxson Dart, the 25th overall pick in this year’s draft, worked primarily with the second unit. Russell Wilson remains the starter. AdvertisementDart struggled some throughout the afternoon. He completed 5-of-9 passes with two interceptions. He took a sack and had two passes broken up at the line of scrimmage. The majority of his completions came within five yards of the line of scrimmage.

EAST RUTHERFORD – The Giants have a plan for their quarterbacks. Brian Daboll has no desire to tell anyone what that plan is or what that plan will look like, but it’s there. Before Wednesday, the only thing anyone knew was that Russell Wilson was the starter and the team would develop rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart. How many reps would each get? How did Jameis Winston factor in? Would Tommy DeVito have any chance to do anything? Would first-team reps be awarded to anyone else?

The Giants begin their offseason program this week. It’s two-hand touch. Not real football. But it’s football-like things on a football field for the first time this year. That builds hype, intrigue and excitement. AdvertisementWe figure it would be a good time to open the mailbag to address your concerns on the state of the Giants before they take the field this week. Let’s get right to it. In a perfect world, the Giants won’t turn to him until 2026.

Connor: I did it again. I hooked up with a client Friday night. C: But that’s a FaceTime conversationKiki: Haha but can you give me a preview?? C: yeah, ok. On Thursday night, she was a client of mine. We talked throughout the massage and she was flirty and complimentary the whole time. I returned her flirtations, but in the toothless way I flirt with my old women clients (“Oh Kitty! I love your cardigan!”).

The Jets wrapped up their first media-open organized team activity on Wednesday. Here are a few takeaways from the practice. Every coach says that before the start of the offseason program. Everyone wishes it was, though. That’s especially the case with a new staff. This is a chance to get on-field experience running the offense and defense. AdvertisementGood news for head coach Aaron Glenn: He said the Jets had 100 percent attendance on Tuesday and he believes they had the same on Wednesday.

There’s no playoff hype with the Jets. No one is talking or thinking Super Bowl. Actually, no one is really talking about the Jets at all. They’ve flown under the radar this entire offseason – exactly the way coach Aaron Glenn likes it. His focus is on the Jets' on-field product. He’ll talk when there’s something to talk about. They haven’t played a game. They haven’t won a game. So what’s there to say? AdvertisementWell, now the Jets' road to wins is known.
