One reason for optimism for every team after NFL Draft, free agency | CBSSports.com
Winning culture back in the Big Apple . After nine straight losing seasons, the Giants needed drastic changes, especially in culture. That’s exactly what they have in John Harbaugh, who is determined to quickly bring the Giants back to championship contention.
With Harbaugh heavily involved, the Giants added a slew of proven veterans during free agency, including several former Ravens. In addition to improving the defense, Harbaugh also improved the situation for Jaxson
Dart by adding several new pass-catchers and restocking the offensive line with first-round pick Francis Mauigoa and veterans Lucas Patrick and Daniel Faalele.

Biggest roster holes for all 32 NFL teams following the draft | ESPN.com
New York Giants: Center. Now that the Giants have signed Shelby Harris and DJ Reader to fill holes along the defensive front, they don’t have any glaring holes in the starting lineup. However, they do have weaknesses, and one of them is John Michael Schmitz Jr., who has never quite lived up to his second-round draft potential in the center of the offensive line.
Last year, Schmitz ranked 23rd among starting centers with a 94.1% pass block win rate and 27th with a 65.1% run block win rate. The Giants brought in veteran Lucas Patrick to back up Schmitz, but Patrick played in only six games for the Bengals last season, partly due to a calf injury, and will be 33 years old this season.

What makes sense — and doesn’t — for a Giants-Odell Beckham Jr. reunion | New York Post
There’s a Netflix series called “Nobody Wants This’’ that’s about a rabbi dealing with a challenging relationship. It is not the title of what is going on with the Giants and Odell Beckham Jr.
Plenty of people want to see a reunion. Plenty do not. Head coach John Harbaugh has a history with Beckham and Beckham certainly has a history with the Giants.
NY Giants in play for overseas game as 2026 NFL schedule release nears | The Record
There’s a good chance the New York Giants will play an overseas game this season in John Harbaugh’s first season as their head coach. Those chances appear even better in one European city, but we’ll get to that.

Ryan McCrystal’s 2027 NFL Mock Draft: First-Look Projections | Sharp Football Analysis
10. New York Giants, 2027 Draft Pick Prediction: David Stone, DL, Oklahoma Stone is smaller than Dexter Lawrence but plays a similar role in Brent Venables’ defense and has that same bull-in-a-china-shop energy.
Key stat to know about David Stone: Recorded a tackle on 22% of his snaps against the run when lined up from the two-tech position or further inside, eighth best among Power Four interior linemen.
