Kenneth Walker could help change Giants’ culture, not just their offense | New York Daily News

The Giants’ need for a true No. 1 back, of course, traces back to GM Joe Schoen’s infamous decision to let Saquon Barkley walk to the rival Philadelphia Eagles and lead them to a Super Bowl in Feb. 2025. They didn’t just lose a top player that day. They lost a team leader, too.

The Giants need more of both. Walker seems to check both of those boxes at running back, if the team decides the investment is worth it as a big slice of the pie.

How John Harbaugh will leave his imprint on the Giants’ roster-building | New York Post

There are so many decisions to be made.

Some have already been discussed and a consensus reached. So many more will surface in the coming days with NFL free agency fast approaching.

36. Wan’Dale Robinson, WR. What he brings: A 5-foot-8, 185-pound slot receiver with the short-area speed to uncover, Robinson displayed more vertical ability last season for the Giants. He produced a career-best 14 receptions of 20 or more yards for New York, which was without Malik Nabers for much of the season. With at least 92 receptions in each of his past two seasons, Robinson is a volume target who can work multiple levels between the numbers.

67. Cor’Dale Flott, CB. What he brings: A long and lean corner (6-foot-1, 175 pounds), Flott lacks big-time ball production with three career interceptions. But he has the recovery speed to create disruption at the catch point. In 14 starts last season, Flott had one interception and seven pass breakups.

82. Jermaine Eluemunor, OT. What he brings: Eluemunor started 16 games at right tackle in 2025, with the mass and anchor to take on power rushers. But Eluemunor, who had a below-average 88.8% pass block win rate, should be graded as a lower-tier starter in free agency.

10 high-priced NFL free agents who come with question marks | PFF

WR Wan’Dale Robinson. On the heels of his first 1,000-yard campaign, Robinson profiles as one of the stronger receivers on the free-agent market. In fact, it would be a surprise if the 25-year-old didn’t command at least $15 million or more per season.

Yet his career production doesn’t seem equivalent to that type of value. Robinson has never exceeded a 70.9 PFF receiving grade, finishing with 69.8 mark even in 2025, and his career 1.49 yards per route run is only slightly above average (56th percentile). Likewise, his career 6.7-yard average depth of target is in the 5th percentile since 2022. Combined with mediocre career production and a more limited usage profile given his size, teams will have to weigh whether or not Robinson is worth his expected cost.

Giants’ top 5 candidates to replace released defensive leader | NJ.com

Tremaine Edmunds (Bears): This would be a big-splash move, via a trade with Chicago. Since Edmunds is entering the final year of his contract, the Giants surely would give him a lucrative new deal upon trading for him. They’ll have competition for his services, since he’s still young and effective. Edmunds will be 28 when next season begins. The Giants must improve against the run. Edmunds earned an 81.1 Pro Football Focus grade as a run defender in 2025.

Quay Walker (Packers): The top available free agent inside linebacker, according to ESPN. He is plenty young — just 26 come Week 1 in 2026. But he didn’t exactly have a great season in 2025 (54.4 run defense grade, 40.9 in coverage). Edmunds is a much better option, but he will be costly.

Isaiah Likely, TE, New York Giants. Connection: HC John Harbaugh. Yes, they have Theo Johnson at tight end, but Jaxson Dart needs additional weapons (Wan’Dale Robinson is a free agent) and both Harbaugh’s Ravens and new OC Declan Doyle’s Bears ran a ton of 12 personnel last year. Third- and seventh-most in the league, to be exact. Likely is young and talented, like the rest of Big Blue’s offensive corps, and Harbaugh knows his skill set already. He’d be a smooth fit with immediate Pro Bowl upside.

New York Giants hire Mike Nobler as Director of Football Video Operations | USAToday.com

Nobler joins the team after serving in the same role with the Miami Dolphins for the past 11 seasons, bringing extensive experience in managing NFL-level football video departments.

The move addresses previous limitations in the Giants’ video operations, which had been undermanned compared to most league teams under prior regimes. The department previously operated with a two-man staff, and Nobler’s addition represents an expansion rather than a replacement.
