The New York Giants were responsible and restrained in free agency.
Despite the much-heralded arrival of John Harbaugh and the new power dynamic, things look much the same as they did when the season ended.
Harbaugh got a few of His Guys, bringing in former Baltimore Ravens TE Isaiah Likely, FB Patrick Ricard, S Ar’Darius Washington, and P Jordan Stout.
The Giants also brought in undersized — but athletic — receivers in Calvin Austin III and Darnell Mooney to compete to be Wan’Dale Robinson’s replacement.
They also (seemingly) signed Greg Newsome II to compete with Tae Banks for the starting cornerback job across from Paulson Adebo. Surprisingly, the team also gave guards Evan Neal and Joshua Ezeudu clean slates to try and earn jobs.
The Giants’ off-season strategy thus far seems to be putting them in position to avoid having to “draft hungry” — that is, draft with an extreme or pressing need. But even so, every team has needs and “better” is a moving target in the NFL. So we want to know what you think the Giants’ biggest need is heading into the 2026 NFL Draft.
