Professional football's oldest and most dignified franchise, the Giants helped make New York care about the NFL when the sport was still an afterthought. Four Super Bowl trophies and a century of history demand relevance—and a rebuild that has tested the Mara family's storied stewardship like never before.

After a 4-13 season that saw Brian Daboll fired midseason after a 2-8 start, the Giants landed the biggest coaching fish of the offseason by hiring John Harbaugh. The former Ravens head coach, who won a Super Bowl and made the playoffs 11 times in 18 seasons in Baltimore, brings instant credibility to a franchise desperately in need of stability and competence.
Harbaugh inherits a bare cupboard but also significant draft capital and cap flexibility to reshape the roster in his image. The Giants have one of the worst rosters in football, but having a coach of Harbaugh's caliber leading the rebuild changes the trajectory entirely. GM Joe Schoen remains in place to execute the vision.
Receiver Malik Nabers was the lone bright spot in a miserable 2025 season, catching 78 passes for 1,100 yards despite horrendous quarterback play. Nabers' elite route-running and contested-catch ability give the Giants a genuine building block to pair with their next franchise quarterback under Harbaugh's leadership.
