Rookie RB's Dream Season Collapses as Giants Leak Early Agency Rights
The New York Giants received mixed grades for their haul over the first week of free agency, including one overly harsh take.
After a busy stretch of moves during the NFL's legal tampering window and the opening week of free agency, the New York Giants have significantly reshaped their roster. General manager Joe Schoen and head coach John Harbaugh targeted upgrades across multiple positions, adding both proven veterans and intriguing depth pieces as the team looks to rebound in 2026. While the full impact of those moves won't be known for months, analysts across the league have already begun handing out grades.
Here's how the Giants fared. Yahoo! Sports : B- The Giants had a lot of high-priced players coming and going (and mostly going to the Titans).
Receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, cornerback Cor’Dale Flott, tight end Daniel Bellinger and center Austin Schlottmann all went to Tennessee. The Giants added tight end Isaiah Likely, linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (who is presumably replacing Bobby Okereke), cornerback Greg Newsome II and punter Jordan Stout while retaining right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor. Maybe the losses and gains cancel each other out, but changing a roster that was 13-38 the past three seasons isn’t the worst idea.
CBS Sports : B The Giants could stand to dedicate more resources to offensive line help, even after smartly retaining Eluemunor. Otherwise, John Harbaugh made some nice inroads to improve his team's roster. Likely is just 25, and though the production has been inconsistent, he has all the tools and has flashed all the skill to be one of the league's better and more dynamic receiving tight ends.
