The stunning trade on Monday night of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo from the New England Patriots to the San Francisco 49ers has some implications for the New York Giants.
First, it means that when the Giants face the currently 0-8 49ers Week 10 in San Francisco they will likely facing a team led by the former Patriots backup. If Garoppolo does not play this weekend when the 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals, which seems likely as he learns the San Francisco playbook, Garoppolo’s 49ers debut could come against the Giants.
