The Giants went 4-13 in 2025 under Brian Daboll, who was fired and replaced by John Harbaugh. QB Jaxson Dart (2025 1st-round pick) showed promise and is the franchise QB going forward.

Traded 2026 3rd-round pick to Houston Texans to move up and draft Jaxson Dart in 2025 1st round. Acquired extra 6th-round pick from Miami in Darren Waller trade. Have three 6th-round picks total.
Critical Needs
Despite signing Tremaine Edmunds (3yr/$36M), the Giants still have a massive long-term need at off-ball linebacker.
The interior OL is the biggest non-glamorous hole on the roster.
Important Needs
Cor'Dale Flott, the team's best coverage corner in 2025, signed with Tennessee.
The Giants had the league's worst run defense in 2025 (31st, 145 rush yards/game allowed).
Depth Needs
Both Jevon Holland ($45.3M, 3-year deal) and Tyler Nubin (2024 2nd-round pick) underperformed significantly in 2025.
Malik Nabers is the WR1 but tore his ACL in October 2025 — his Week 1 availability is uncertain.
Minor Needs
The Giants have a viable three-man committee with Cam Skattebo (returning from a dislocated ankle suffered in Week 8), Tyrone Tracy Jr.
The signing of Isaiah Likely (3yr/$40M from Baltimore) was a scheme-defining move, pairing him with Theo Johnson in a 12-personnel heavy attack.
- Released Bobby Okereke (LB) — created massive LB void, saved ~$9M cap
- Signed Tremaine Edmunds (LB, 3yr/$36M from Bears) — addresses LB but not a long-term solution, still likely to draft LB at No. 5
- Re-signed Micah McFadden (LB, 1yr/$3.75M) — provides LB depth alongside Edmunds
- Signed Isaiah Likely (TE, 3yr/$40M from Ravens) — scheme-defining move, TE is no longer a need
- Re-signed Jermaine Eluemunor (RT, 3yr/$39M) — OT is no longer a need; bookend tackles of Thomas/Eluemunor locked in
