About Carl Banks
Carl Banks, a two-time Super Bowl champion and New York Giants Ring of Honor inductee, has made several media appearances in recent weeks to discuss his career, his role as president of the G-III Sports Division, and the current state of the Giants. On the 1925 New York Giants Podcast, Banks promoted his Starter brand, describing how he was one of the first players signed by the company and how founder David Beckerman's vision made "fandom become fashionable." He also commented on Giants general manager Joe Schoen, saying he believes the organization felt Schoen had "acquired the right amount of talent to move the team in the right direction" and noted that Schoen inherited a "really bad salary cap situation." Banks expressed his opinion that the Giants should have franchise-tagged quarterback Daniel Jones and given running back Saquon Barkley a contract extension, stating, "You put your money where you know the safe contract is." On the Bleav in Bengals podcast, Banks discussed the trade of defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence from the Giants to the Cincinnati Bengals. Banks stated that "Dexter didn't want to be a Giant anymore" and described Lawrence's best play as "demoralizing" to offensive players, comparing his strength to Larry Allen and his interior pass rush to Reggie White. Banks said he hopes the "joy has returned" for Lawrence in Cincinnati. He also commented on the Giants' current roster, expressing optimism about players like Cam Scataboo and Malik Nabers, and said the team is "on their way back."
