Brian Burns is the only New York Giants player named to the AP NFL All-Pro Team for the 2025 season. Burns was also recently voted to the Pro Bowl for the third time in his seven-year career. This is the first time he has been named All-Pro.
Burns set career highs in sacks (16.5), quarterback hits (31), tackles for loss (22), and forced fumbles (tied with three) while starting all 17 games.
Burns’ 16.5 sacks are tied with Jason Pierre-Paul (2011) for fourth-most in a single season by a Giants defender. His 31 quarterback hits, meanwhile, are the most by...

If things go according to plan, the New York Giants will be introducing John Harbaugh as their newest head coach by the end of next week. That is the belief of one prominent New York sports columnist.
“I think both parties really want each other, and I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t work out,” Ian O’Connor, columnist for The Athletic, said on the ‘Valentine’s Views’ podcast. “If you said I have to put down 20 bucks on a candidate today, absolutely, John Harbaugh will be the head coach of the Giants by the end of next week. That’s...

Bob Brodman asks: Ed, I assume that Flores wouldn’t accept an interview offer from the Giants or the other teams in his lawsuit who he thinks had sham interviews to satisfy the Rooney Rule. We also know that you can’t just make an job offer to a coach without interviewing at least one minority candidate from outside the organization. So here is my question. Can a team make an offer to a minority candidate without interviewing anyone else? Can the Giants just offer the job to Flores right now?
Ed says: Bob, no, that can’t happen. The hiring process established...

Good evening, New York Giants fans! Welcome to the second semifinal game of the 2025-2026 college football playoffs! Tonight we’re treated to a showdown between (1) Indiana and (5) Oregon.
This is actually a rematch from their Oct.11th game, which Indiana won 30-20. That game was the only loss on Oregon’s record, and the reason why they weren’t a top seed in this year’s playoffs. Of course, considering top seeds are 1-7 over the last two years, that may have been a blessing in disguise.
As with the Fiesta Bowl, I’m not going to bother going through both rosters to...

The New York Giants limped to an abysmal four-win finish in the 2025 season, landing at the back end of the top five in the 2026 NFL Draft. The 2025 offseason brought yet another spending spree, as Joe Schoen tried to patch a weak secondary for then–defensive coordinator Shane Bowen — an effort that ultimately failed in year one, but that doesn’t mean it will fail with a new coordinator.
Schoen also added veteran quarterbacks and front-seven pieces for the defense, and he took a jab at swing tackle. Some of these contracts worked out better in year one than...

The Miami Dolphins are hiring Green Bay Packers VP of Player Personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan as their next General Manager, per a report from Dianna Russini of The Athletic.
Sullivan, 50, has been a member of the Packers’ front office since joining in 2003 as a training camp intern. He since ascended the organization’s ladder and was named the VP of Player Personnel in 2022. Russini adds that the Dolphins’ philosophy is to hire their GM, then pursue a new head coach.
The obvious question is how this impacts the New York Giants’ pursuit of Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh....

With the Miami Dolphins’ firing of head coach Mike McDaniel, the John Harbaugh sweepstakes just got more interesting, as Ed discussed Thursday. The New York Giants and the Dolphins are only two of eight teams searching for a head coach this coming off-season, but as Ed reported, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has long ties to the Harbaugh family and apparently had been in touch with Harbaugh even before firing McDaniel. That makes Miami probably the most serious competitor for Harbaugh’s services.
Let’s put aside those things and imagine that we’re John Harbaugh, and ask a simple question that Harbaugh may...

Good evening, New York Giants fans! We’ve arrived at the Fiesta Bowl and the College Football Playoffs semi-final, featuring (6) Ole Miss facing off against (10) Miami. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Football has been chaos this year at both the collegiate and NFL levels, and the semi-final round of the College Football Playoffs is a perfect example of this. Few people predicted Miami taking (1) Ohio State behind the woodshed or Ole Miss beating (3) Georgia, and I don’t think anyone predicted both of those powerhouses falling.

The New York Giants are once again searching for a new head coach, their fifth full-time head coach since letting Tom Coughlin go in 2015.
Since that time, the Giants have been through full-time head coaches Ben McAdoo, Pat Shurmur, Joe Judge and now Brian Daboll. They have had interim head coaches Steve Spagnuolo for four games replacing McAdoo in 2017 and now Mike Kafka taking over for Daboll.
Can Kafka, getting his first opportunity to be a head coach after interviewing for several open jobs the past three offseasons, earn the job? Will the Giants look for an experienced...
