Jackson was referring to being an upcoming free agent. But it applies to the Giants in the driver’s seat for next year’s No. 1 overall pick and a chance to fix their quarterback issues by drafting either Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders or Miami’s Cam Ward.

The Raiders defeated the Jaguars, 19-14, and helped to preserve the Giants’ hold of the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft as the two teams had been in a dogfight for the top pick. The Giants took hold of the spot on Sunday afternoon after they suffered a 34-7 loss to the Falcons in Atlanta.

The Las Vegas Raiders’ win over Jacksonville is the most substantial swing we have seen for the No. 1 pick since The Athletic began tracking the race in Week 14. Before kicking off the late window of Sunday’s games, Las Vegas had a 35 percent chance at the No. 1 pick. It now has a 1 percent chance following its win.
