Giants Mulling Over Possible Lottery Deal

The New York Giants are reportedly contemplating potential lottery partnerships with the state of New York and New Jersey. According to Bob Glauber of Newsday, the NFC East franchise may become the next NFL team to get into the lottery business. Since NFL owners approved a rule change last week that allows teams to enter into deals with official state lotteries, the New England Patriots and the Washington Redskins became the first two teams to sign up for lottery contracts. “We are looking at those potential opportunities closely,” Giants vice president of communications Pat Hanlon told Newsday. Per the report, the New York Jets are also in talks with New York state lottery officials. According to the Associated Press, the Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings and the Tennessee Titans are among the other NFL teams interested in pursuing lottery deals. Also, the Baltimore Ravens have confirmed they’re in talks with the Maryland Lottery. The Cincinnati Bengals and the San Diego Chargers both said that they haven’t determined their plans at this time.
