Welcome to another exciting episode of "2 Giants Goofballs: A New York Giants Podcast," hosted by Drew and Rob. In today’s live show, we dive deep into the latest news, updates, and rumors surrounding the New York Giants as they continue to shape their roster and navigate the challenges of the NFL season. From player signings and surprising cuts to scouting for future talent, the Giants are making headlines, and we've got all the details right here.

First up, we discuss the return of Adoree Jackson to the Giants on a one-year deal.
