With John Harbaugh at the helm, a seven-round Giants mock draft envisions immediate and long-term impact by adding versatile defenders and line depth: Mansoor Delane (CB), Jake Golday (LB), Billy Schrauth (OL), Cyrus Allen (WR), Pat Coogan (C), Cole Wisniewski (S), and Joshua Weru (EDGE) to accelerate a return to NFC playoff contention.
NFL coach John Harbaugh said Odell Beckham Jr. is a top option to consider and has a strong relationship with him, leaving the door open for a possible OBJ-Giants reunion. The Giants are rebuilding at receiver with Malik Nabers returning from ACL surgery and additions like Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin III, while Wan’Dale Robinson departed; Beckham’s recent injury history and a PED suspension complicate any decision, which will hinge on what’s best for Beckham and the team as 2026 free agency unfolds.
Despite a busy free-agent period aimed at boosting offense, analysts remain skeptical the Giants will rise in 2026, with multiple power rankings placing them around the low 20s despite new additions. Observers note insufficient offensive-line upgrades and interior-defensive help, and emphasize the need for Jaxson Dart to develop under new coach John Harbaugh, potentially pushing the team to be more active in the draft to stay competitive.
Fullback Patrick Ricard is signing with the New York Giants on a two-year deal reportedly worth about $7.63 million in base value (up to ~$8.5 million total), reuniting with coach John Harbaugh. Known for his blocking rather than touches, Ricard earned a 2025 Pro Bowl nod and is expected to fill a similar blocking role with the Giants after nine Ravens seasons.
The New York Giants have agreed to a three-year contract with tight end Isaiah Likely, reuniting him with coach John Harbaugh.

The New York Giants have hired former Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy as their new OC, reuniting him with head coach John Harbaugh to run the offense in 2025. Nagy, who guided Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City and helped the Chiefs to top offensive marks, will work with QB Jaxson Dart to energize a unit that has faced recent struggles.
Reactions to Matt Nagy’s hiring as the New York Giants’ offensive coordinator are mixed among Big Blue View writers: some praise his experience and culture, while others question his distinct offensive philosophy and fit for a young quarterback room, noting his ties to Andy Reid and the potential blend of a New West Coast style with RPOs and Air Raid concepts.

The New York Giants have hired Ravens-connected coaches Dennard Wilson as defensive coordinator and Chris Horton as special teams coordinator/assistant head coach, reuniting with John Harbaugh’s staff strategy to boost the defense and kicking game. Wilson, previously Ravens defensive backs coach after stints with the Eagles and Jets, arrives after the Titans stint and a prior near-miss with Giants. Horton, a longtime Harbaugh colleague and former Ravens special-teams coordinator, is returning to the Giants after a playing and coaching arc that includes time with UCLA. The hires cap two of the team’s most important staff moves as the Giants also pursue an offensive coordinator and navigate Rooney Rule interviews, hoping to improve special-teams performance and complement their young investments.
John Harbaugh will build his first Giants staff by retaining only two Daboll-era assistants—outside linebackers coach Charlie Bullen and tight ends coach Tim Kelly—while Carmen Bricillo isn’t expected back; the Giants will replace the rest with Harbaugh’s hires, keeping core players under contract and seeking continuity from the new coaches.

The Baltimore Ravens hired 42-year-old Jesse Minter, a former Ravens assistant and the Los Angeles Chargers’ defensive coordinator, as head coach after firing John Harbaugh.
