Giants’ Jaxson Dart reveals what he loves most about John Harbaugh | NJ.com

As John Harbaugh gets ready to build around Jaxson Dart — with free agency beginning next Monday — the Giants’ prized second-year quarterback recently spent some time raving about his new coach.

“He loves the way that I play the game. And I think that was one thing that kind of drew our relationship from a competitive standpoint. Like, he knows how much I love the sport, how passionate I am to go out there and compete at a high level, and he’s the exact same way.

So I can’t wait to play for a coach like him, who instills a relentless mindset — from his coaching staff to his players to the whole organization.”

New York Giants. The Giants are willing to trade outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux, but they aren’t going to give him away. The No. 5 pick in the 2022 draft is due $14.8 million in 2026 on his fifth-year option. Trading Thibodeaux, who is behind Brian Burns and Abdul Carter on the depth chart, would create significant savings that could be spent to fill holes elsewhere. But if the Giants can’t get adequate value (think a Day 2 pick or a quality player), they’re content to hold onto the 25-year-old to maintain the strength of their pass rush.

Report: New York Giants interested in Bears LB Tremaine Edmunds | USAToday.com

Edmunds was granted permission to seek a trade earlier this week. A first-round pick (No. 16 overall) by the Buffalo Bills in 2018, Edmunds has established himself as a versatile and productive off-ball linebacker. He earned Pro Bowl honors in 2019 and 2020 during his time in Buffalo, where he overlapped with current Giants general manager Joe Schoen, who served as assistant GM there.

One player who has strong trade value and a decent chance to be dealt is Bears linebacker Tremaine Edmunds. The Titans, Raiders and Giants are among teams interested in high-end linebackers, and they like Edmunds, who’s only 27 despite eight years in the league. He was granted permission to seek a trade earlier this week.

Giants NFL Combine Notes: Are Kayvon Thibodeaux and Dexter Lawrence trade candidates? | SNY.tv

The recent hiring of Dawn Aponte is a significant move. Multiple sources at varying levels described her as a “killer” — intended as high praise. Aponte is confident in her expertise and has little tolerance for incompetence or dysfunction. She will not surround herself — or allow others to surround the organization — with anything that is not working.

“Between her and John,” one source said, “that building better be on their sh-t.”

Aponte was heavily involved in informal meetings with agents throughout the week. SNY checked in with several who met with the Giants. The groups varied, which is typical. Agents met with some combination of Aponte, Charles Tisch, Joe Schoen, Ed Triggs, Chris Rossetti and Tim McDonnell. Others joined at times. Schoen was a frequent topic of conversation in Indianapolis. The Giants insist his role has not changed, but that has not stopped speculation across league circles. The simplest way to quiet that chatter: extend Schoen. If he and Harbaugh are as aligned as they say, formalize the partnership beyond the 2026 draft.

2026 NFL cut candidates for each team | PFF

New York Giants: G Jon Runyan The Giants had little guard depth in the 2025 season, meaning veterans Greg Van Roten and Jon Runyan started the entire year and each played over 1,000 snaps. Runyan’s 52.9 PFF grade was 65th out of 79 guards, and though he could remain as valuable depth for an offense that needs it, the Giants could aim to move on from him and address their needs at guard in the draft and free agency. Cutting Runyan would save the Giants a valuable $9.25 million as they veer toward free agency. There’s every chance they could take an offensive lineman in their first few picks, even with the No. 5 selection in the 2026 NFL Draft.

NFL World Raises Concerns About Cam Skattebo’s Injury Amid Rumors of NY Targeting Kenneth Walker III, Jeremiyah Love | ProFootballNetwork.com

Yahoo’s Matt Harmon tweeted “So much smoke around the Giants wanting to add a back this offseason and way too many available names in free agency, before you even consider the draft, to think an addition isn’t coming. Maybe I’m wrong but it feels like it would be a surprise if Skattebo doesn’t at least face steep competition atop the depth chart coming training camp.”

NFL insider JP Acosta added “It makes sense tbh. Skattebo coming off an injury and isn’t as explosive as Walker/Love. Even if they don’t get those guys I think they’re gonna bring in some competition in that room.”

NFL mock draft: Projecting every NY Giants selection post-Combine | The Record

Round 4, Pick 105: Malachi Fields, WR, Notre Dame. The 6-foot-4, 222-pound Fields had a coming-out party on the practice fields leading up to the Senior Bowl, displaying the size and the speed to stand out among all playmakers. The Giants will likely add at least one receiver in free agency – keep an eye on the Packers’ Romeo Doubs, the Vikings’ Jalen Nailor and the Chiefs’ Tyquan Thornton, who could be on the verge of a breakout – and Wan’Dale Robinson could exit as a pending free agent. They could go for a weapon earlier in the draft, but Fields is a potential sleeper.
