New York Giants
The New York Giants got their man and John Harbaugh will be their next head coach.
Their immediate concern will be filling out Harbaugh’s coaching staff and laying the groundwork to enact his vision for the Giants. That, of course, will all be done against the backdrop of the process leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft.
And on that front, the Giants and Harbaugh weren’t the only newsmakers on Wednesday. The 14th was also the deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft, and Oregon quarterback Dante Moore announced that he was returning to school.
The decision was the...

The New York Giants invested heavily in their secondary during the 2025 off-season. Their biggest investment was cornerback Paulson Adebo, who signed a three-year, $54 million contract with $38.5 million guaranteed. Adebo was the clear-cut number one cornerback heading into training camp, with Cor’Dale Flott and Tae Banks alternating as cornerback two, and Dru Phillips as the nickel defender.
The rotation of Flott and Banks was a predictable failure, as the Giants used Banks in man coverage and Flott in zone coverage. Banks’ atrocious run defense and inconsistent effort forced him to the bench, while Flott seized the day and...

It is a gorgeous day in the world of the New York Giants, who have landed the belle of this coaching cycle by hiring veteran Super Bowl champion John Harbaugh as their next head coach. Accomplished offensive coordinator Todd Monken is expected to follow Harbaugh to New York, and presumably, other positional coaches may soon follow as well.
The Ravens are set to have 19 unrestricted free agents; the list courtesy of Bobby Skinner:

OLB Kyle Van Noy

TE Isaiah Likely

With the blockbuster news of John Harbaugh agreeing to become the New York Giants’ next head coach, the question becomes: How is he going to lift this team out of the doldrums of the past decade? The Giants have question marks on both sides of the ball. Who Harbaugh hires as defensive coordinator is an important question for a team whose defense, or absence thereof, was the primary reason they did not contend for a playoff berth in 2025.
Still, offense pays the bills in today’s NFL. Harbaugh took over a Baltimore Ravens team in 2008 that had declined from...

There is a clock ticking for the New York Giants and their new head coach John Harbaugh. The inexorable process that is leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft is under way. And while the Giants have their next head coach, they need to get a coaching staff together.
January 14th was the hard deadline for underclassmen to declare for the upcoming draft. The Panini Senior Bowl also released its final (barring withdrawals or late invites) roster with declarations made. Senior Bowl practices will be begin on January 27th, and the Giants will want the overall structure of their coaching...

The New York Giants came to an agreement with former Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh late Wednesday night.
In doing so, the Giants immediately brought stability to a rudderless franchise and delivered true hope to the fanbase for the first time since the 2023 off-season. The veteran coach is lauded as a “culture builder” who eschews concentrating on either side of the ball in favor of overseeing the whole roster and leaving his offensive and defensive coordinators to run their units.
That, however, brings us to the question of who will run the offense and defense for the Giants....

Earlier this week, I wrote that the New York Giants desperately needed to land the plane and convince John Harbaugh to be their next head coach because the losing, and the creeping irrelevance of an NFL crown jewel franchise, had to stop.
Mission accomplished.
The Giants got their man, with word leaking out in the wee hours of the morning on Thursday that Harbaugh was cancelling other meetings and would become the team’s head coach.
The Giants were not relevant to the NFL landscape on Wednesday. Nobody talked or wrote about them unless they had to. There was no excitement....

John Harbaugh has been hired as head coach of the New York Giants. After an aggressive pursuit, the Giants have landed the most hotly sought-after coach in this hiring cycle.
NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported this morning that the Giants and Harbaugh are finalizing a five-year deal and that “Harbaugh has accepted the job.”
Harbaugh, 180-113 (.614 winning percentage) with a Super Bowl title and 12 playoff appearances in 18 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, was the Giants’ top target to replace Brian Daboll from the moment the Ravens fired him the day after the regular season ended.

The New York Giants and John Harbaugh are nearing a deal to make Harbaugh the Giants’ next coach.
The report, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, came late Wednesday following a long meeting between the two parties during the day.
Schefter posted a few more times on the topic, expressing the Giants’ aggressive pursuit of the veteran coach. An agreement is expected barring a setback.
The Baltimore Ravens turned the 2026 coaching cycle on its head when they made the decision to fire Harbaugh after 18 years. Harbaugh immediately became the most sought after coach on the market and the Giants’...
