What Should the Giants Do About Tyrone Tracy Jr.? | Trade or Keep?

Tyrone Tracy Jr. played two snaps for the Giants against Dallas, fumbled on the second one, and did not touch the ball again. Then he got sent home Wednesday with what John Harbaugh called a bad flu, while Najee Harris keeps ramping toward his Giants debut. This episode is about what the Giants should do with the running back who led the team in rushing as a rookie.

The number is seven. Tracy has seven fumbles in 33 regular season games since 2024 per Pro Football Reference, and the Week 1 one came on the drive that would have put Dallas away before halftime. Harbaugh said four balls on the ground is not even close to acceptable. Tiki Barber went on the record this week with the fix.

The room is the problem. Cam Skattebo played 41 snaps and ran 18 times for 81 and a touchdown. Devin Singletary ran 18 routes and caught the other touchdown. Najee Harris, four straight 1,000-yard seasons before the Achilles, is on a one-year deal with nothing guaranteed and Harbaugh says the call on Monday night comes by the end of the week. The Giants dress three running backs. Harris makes three without Tracy.

The money is on screen, per Over The Cap: Tracy is $1.15 million this year and signed through 2027, and trading him saves the same $1 million as cutting him, which means a trade is free value and a cut is throwing it away. The keep case is real too. He fumbled once all of last season and he is the only insurance if Skattebo goes down. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
