The Giants spent their offseason trying to upgrade their backup quarterback situation. Maybe the solution was always right in their own backyard.
Chad Pennington, released Thursday by the Jets, is apparently on the Giants' radar screen as they search for a viable backup to Eli Manning. They already have veterans Anthony Wright and David Carr on the roster battling for the job, but GM Jerry Reese didn't deny they might have an interest in the now ex-Jet.
"We take a look at everybody that's out there," Reese said after the Giants' preseason-opening 13-10 loss to the Lions. "That includes him."
