The Giants look to put a 4-13 season behind them and push for a playoff return after a three-year drought. The offseason brought monumental changes: New head coach John Harbaugh was brought in from the Ravens, and new coordinators Matt Nagy (Offense) and Dennard Wilson (Defense) were hired to revamp the schemes. Though the team traded away star defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals, they used the acquired No. 10 overall pick to secure elite offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa.
On defense, the Giants signed veteran linebacker Tremaine Edmunds in free agency to act as the defensive quarterback and drafted athletic freak Arvell Reese at No. 5 overall to complement Brian Burns' pass rush. If quarterback Jaxson Dart can stay healthy and take a Year 2 leap alongside receiving weapon Malik Nabers, the Giants have the firepower to be competitive in a tough NFC East down the stretch.
