New York Giants
The idea that the New York Giants are staring down a brutal, season-killing schedule in 2026 doesn’t really hold up. If anything, this latest strength-of-schedule drop gives New York Giants fans a reason to lean a little more optimistic than expected.
Warren Sharp’s model based on Vegas win totals rathert than last year’s records slots the Giants at 24th overall in strength of schedule. Translation: slightly tougher than average, but nowhere near the gauntlet tier that buries seasons before they start.
That alone shifts the conversation.
Last year, one of the easiest ways to write off the Giants was by...

The New York Giants completed the offsesason transformation of their defensive front seven with the signing on Tuesday of veteran nose tackle D.J. Reader. A 10-year veteran, Reader spent the last two seasons with the Detroit Lions. So, we turned to Jeremy Reisman of SB Nation’s Pride of Detroit to find out a little bit more about what Reader brings to the Giants.

The signing on Tuesday of veteran nose tackle D.J. Reader might have been the last significant personnel move of the offseason for the New York Giants. So, let’s look at players who sit firmly on the roster bubble following an active, perhaps transformative, offseason for the Giants.
I keep getting asked whether I think a return to a more aggressive approach in the secondary will help Banks, drafted to play in Wink Martindale’s system, recapture the promise he showed as a rookie.
The truth is, I think Banks’ emergence as a home run threat on kickoff...

The New York Giants are taking the volume approach to replacing star nose tackle Dexter Lawrence, traded to the Cincinnati Bengals before the 2026 NFL Draft, to an extreme. On the same day they signed veteran nose tackle D.J. Reader, the best defensive lineman left on the free agent market, the Giants claimed yet another defensive tackle on waivers.
The Giants on Tuesday were awarded Zacch Pickens off waivers from the Kansas City Chiefs. Pickens, 26, was a third-round pick by the Chicago Bears in 2023. Pickens spent two seasons with Chicago, and was signed to the Kansas City practice...

The New York Giants and D.J. Reader have finally ended their courtship, with the veteran defensive tackle agreeing to a two-year, $12.5 million contract. NFL insiders Ian Rapport and Jordan Schultz posted the news simultaneously on X.
Reader, 31, gets a two-year deal worth $12.5 million, per multiple reports. Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reported that Reader will get $5.25 million in guaranteed money, all in 2026.
Reader visited the Giants, who were already in the market for defensive tackle help, before they traded Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals a week ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft....

New York Giants UDFA offensive tackle Dodji Dahoue (pronounced DOH-jee DAH-way) certainly stands out in a crowd, and not just for his uncommon physique. He stands 6-foot-9 and roughly 300 pounds, which is even out of the ordinary in an NFL locker room, but Dahoue’s path to the NFL is even more unique.
Dahoue is very new to the game of football, only picking up the game in 2022. And in fact, Dahoue wasn’t an athlete at all growing up.
Dahoue was born in France and his family moved to Washington DC a few months after he was born, where...

Players selected on Day 3 of the NFL Draft are not ones teams are counting on to be stars. They simply hope for contributors, and many of these late-round picks carve out long, successful NFL careers.
The New York Giants had only three picks on the third day of the 2026 NFL Draft, all in Round 6. They selected defensive tackle Bobby Jamison-Travis No. 186, offensive lineman J.C. Davis No. 192, and linebacker Jack Kelly No. 193.
Today, we are asking you which player you believe will have the best NFL career.
At first blush, it would seem that Jamison-Travis...

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen said during an appearance on Sirius XM NFL Radio that the Giants were not going to move down from No. 5 in the 2026 NFL Draft when it became clear Arvell Reese would be available to them.
“We had a couple players in mind that if they were there (at No. 5) we were going to stay,” Schoen said. “We had a couple opportunities to potentially move back.
“Arvell Reese fit that mold.”
As it turned out, those players were Reese and offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa, who the Giants selected at...

How does a 6-foot-7, 320-pound offensive lineman with obvious physical gifts and athleticism nearly fall through the cracks of both the collegiate and NFL levels?
Welcome to the story of Ryan Schernecke, an undrafted free agent from Division II Kutztown University who signed with the New York Giants after the 2026 NFL Draft.
Schernecke, out of Upper Moreland High School in Willow Grove, Pa., was largely unnoticed by bigger colleges coming out of high school.
Kutztown head coach Jim Clements said that Schernecke “was kind of growing into his own body and his junior film was not good.”
Scherenecke’s senior...

The NFL Draft wrapped up on Saturday, April 25, and the evaluators weighed in right away via knee-jerk draft grades and a mountain of analysis and commentary. You know who else is telling us what they think? Gamblers. And the New York Football Giants received some noteworthy action in the week following the draft.
Specifically, both DraftKings and BetMGM reported late last week that on their platforms, the Giants are the most-bet team to win the Super Bowl since the draft (more money came in on Kansas City, but more bets came in on New York). DraftKings also reported that...
