The New York Giants just made a stir that could shake the league. With the Baltimore Ravens’ playoff dreams dashed, a $97.5 million Ravens superstar sparked a move to New York, thanks to some next-level recruiting from a Giants OT.
Forget NFL Draft boards and scouting reports; this deal’s giving pure blockbuster energy.
Giants, Ravens Players Spark Trade Buzz After Playful Exchange
A playful exchange on X (formerly Twitter) has fans speculating that Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey might be swapping purple for Big Blue. It all started when Humphrey posted, “I really forgot how toxic this app is… I love it here,” likely following a previous viral exchange he had on X.
Giants offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor quickly jumped in, quipping, “I heard you wanted to come play in NY.” Was it banter or the start of a blockbuster move?

The $97.5 million talent faces an uncertain future with the Ravens. The team’s season-ending loss to the Buffalo Bills triggered a wave of introspection and inevitable roster changes.
“This team is done,” Humphrey said, via Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, acknowledging that some players will stay, and others, himself included, might move on.
“When I look at it, some guys will be here, some guys won’t — who knows what? I know I have no more years guaranteed on this existing contract, so it’s whatever message you have. You could be on this team. You could be on another team. Some guys will stay, some guys will leave, and I fall into that same bucket. So, the message is, ‘We lost. Get over it,’ and we’ll kind of see where the offseason goes.”
With his contract offering no more guaranteed years, the Giants might just be calling. The Ravens, who’ve racked up a 78-38 record since Lamar Jackson’s arrival, find themselves at a crossroads. Key free agents, like fullback Patrick Ricard and left tackle Ronnie Stanley, could reshape their core.
Meanwhile, Ricard’s bold claim that Jackson is destined to win a Super Bowl offers little solace for a team stuck in playoff heartbreak.
For the Giants, adding a player of Humphrey’s caliber could bolster their defense and energize their fanbase. One thing is certain: The Ravens’ playoff exit is only the beginning of this offseason drama. Now, the ball’s in the Giants’ court.
Humphrey Calls for End to Chiefs’ Super Bowl Streak
Humphrey’s got some strong opinions, and he’s not keeping them to himself. He dropped a gem on social media, calling on the Bills, or any NFC squad with a surviving heartbeat, to put an end to the Kansas City Chiefs’ bid for a third straight Super Bowl win.
“We can’t let them keep getting away with this,” Humphrey declared on X.
And honestly, he’s not wrong. After two years of Mahomes and Kelce dominating the postseason, it’s starting to feel like the NFL’s stuck in a rerun. With talk about officiating and the Chiefs’ “swagger,” there are plenty of fans out there ready for a change of pace.
Humphrey, ever the competitor, wants someone (anyone) to break up the Chiefs’ dynasty.
