Giants news: John Harbaugh era set to begin, Matt Nagy, Brian Burns more

Following a difficult stretch featuring a 3-14 record in 2024 and a 4-13 campaign in 2025, the New York Giants have completely restructured their leadership. The franchise dismissed Brian Daboll after an 0-2 start last season, wrapped up the year under interim leader Mike Kafka, and ultimately secured veteran head coach John Harbaugh after his 18-year tenure guiding the Baltimore Ravens.

J. Okoye remain key focal points of the roster.

Ahead of their Week 1 clash against the Dallas Cowboys, Harbaugh took a stern tone with local media members, declining to disclose player rotation details or tactical specifics to avoid giving opposing head coach Brian Schottenheimer an edge. Even with the tightened flow of information, national analysts like ESPN's Jeremy Fowler are already pegging the re-tooled Giants as an intriguing sleeper candidate to reach the playoffs.
