Good morning, New York Giants fans! Here are the stories you need to know about today.
Harbaugh had a vision of what that would look like. “I want to be in that parade,” he said in the winter. “But with that being said, what I’m thinking about is what the team looks like that earns the right to be in that parade someday. What do we have to build to get there? That’s what I’m really consumed with.”
After 18 years as a head coach in Baltimore and another 10 as an assistant in Philadelphia, the new guy believes he’s ready for this ultimate challenge. When practice starts next Wednesday at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia, millions of fans in the New York area will be wishing Harbaugh the best of luck. He’ll definitely need it.

32. Theo Johnson, New York Giants. With Isaiah Likely joining the Giants, Johnson will likely get demoted to being New York’s No. 2 tight end. He was a worthy pass-catcher when he did start for the Giants last year, placing 19th with 528 receiving yards. Johnson’s five touchdown catches tied for 13th in the NFL, too.
The NFL cliché is that no player’s job is safe after a regime change.
