The Giants have a nine-figure affinity for Matthew Stafford.
Big Blue has discussed a $90-$100 million contract with the Super Bowl-winning quarterback should the Rams trade him this offseason, The Post’s Paul Schwartz confirmed.
A two-year deal in that range would give Stafford an average annual average between $45-$50 million, in line with his reported ask of at least $50 million per on his next deal.
Stafford is set to met with the Rams on Friday to discuss his future with the franchise, per The Athletic, and the Giants and Raiders have emerged as top suitors for a trade.
Big Blue has already met with Stafford’s camp, The Post confirmed.
That the Giants are open to making the 37-year-old Stafford one of the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks and provide draft compensation shows the desperation of general manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll to solidify the position entering their critical fourth season.
The Giants could potentially draft a quarterback with the third pick, with Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders the top options, but this draft class is not well-regarded by pundits.
Stafford would immediately provide the Giants with a strong-armed quarterback who could lift the offense, although there have been concerns about injuries in recent years.
Even with that offer, though, there are still obstacles.
The Rams have to be willing to move Stafford and NFL Network reported Friday morning that the two continuing their partnership “feels more likely to those involved.”
Stafford is set to be paid $27 million this season, which is far less than other top quarterbacks, but the Rams have hesitancy to meet his contract wishes.
The sides reportedly hope to finalize any decision before March 14, when the former No. 1 pick is set to receive a $4 million bonus.
If the Rams move on, Stafford would have to choose the Giants over the Raiders or Los Angeles would have to deem the Giants’ trade package better.
While the Raiders have been stuck in the mud like the Giants for quite some time, they have new appeal in the form of minority owner Tom Brady.
Brady and Stafford recently crossed paths in Montana, although the extent to which they discussed a Sin City partnership has been debated among reporters.
