Giants senior vice president/general manager Ernie Accorsi is making up for the opportunity he did not get with John Elway, the 1983 draft's No. 1 overall choice. Accorsi is exploring the possibility of acquiring another No. 1 overall pick.
A bust in Cleveland, Tim Couch could land in the Big Apple.
One year after the Giants traded for Eli Manning, New York now is interesting in signing free-agent quarterback Tim Couch, who could wind up competing for the backup job to Manning. Miami, among others, also has expressed interest in Couch, who is 28 years old.
One of the ironies here is Couch nearly signed last October with Chicago, which lost quarterback Rex Grossman last weekend. But Couch wasn't fully healthy, the Bears opted against it, and Couch wound up undergoing surgery on his right shoulder and elbow in February.
Now he is close to being healthy and close to finding a new home. Before the end of the month, he is expected to have one.
