While it was great to finish the season with a big divisional win against the Cowboys, the Giants continued to have issues scoring. They will have Saquon Barkley back next season, but they are still missing a dynamic playmaker if they want to be an elite team.  They definitely have to address it this offseason, likely in the draft.

They have tried to make Evan Engram that guy, but it just hasn’t worked out. It seems likely the team will elect to not re-sign the young tight end despite making his first Pro Bowl. A new change of scenery might also benefit Engram who has never been able to make that next step with New York.
