They Don’t Need Another Project, They Need A Veteran
According to sources the Arizona Cardinals did contact the New York Giants regarding the services of one Matt Leinart. The Giants are obviously not interested in trading for Leinart, who is expected by many to be cut by Arizona on Saturday.
Even as a free agent, Leinart is not an attractive choice. The Giants have their young project in Rhett Bomar, they don’t need another one. They need a veteran backup.

Being around the Giants for bit, now, I can tell you this…..they do not want players of questionable character anymore. That is what Matt Leinart, former Heisman Trophy winner-turned-terrible-NFL quarterback, is.
The Giants have no reason to even consider Leinart for their roster. Personally, I would rather have Rhett Bomar remain the backup than bring in this guy. In fact, Bomar is a better player right now than Leinart is.
Leinart is a turnover machine who is just days away from a visit from the Turk. The Cardinals probably plan on cutting him Saturday. They have Derek Anderson and John Skelton, who are both muuuuuch better prospects. That is why they are dangling Leinart out there right now, hoping some sucker will make a deal for him.
Jerry Reese is smarter than that. As Paul Schwartz of the Post tweeted this morning …“Matt Leinart to Giants? Forget it. Not gonna happen. “Discussions” were probably Cardinals calling Giants and Giants saying “No thanks.”

Adam Schefter of NFL.com is reporting that three teams are interested in trading for embattled QB Matt Leinart. The Giants are among said teams.
The Raiders and Bills are reportedly also interested.
Trading for a veteran is probably wise, but Leinart has not done much to prove he is a better option than Rhett Bomar.
