What are the 10 biggest questions as we enter the NFL offseason? | New York Post
1. Can John Harbaugh get the New York Giants turned around? Harbaugh was compelled to join the Big Blue out of respect for the iconic brand and legacy. But he’s also intrigued by young quarterback Jaxson Dart, whom the Giants traded back into the first round of last year’s draft to select out of Mississippi. Dart was the most impressive rookie quarterback in the NFL, and it looks like he has the chops to be a pretty big deal. Maybe even the next great Giants quarterback.
As a starting point in his new gig, Harbaugh could have done far worse. With the quarterback seemingly in place, all eyes will be on Harbaugh to see if he can bring his Baltimore competence and winning ways to New York. And sooner rather than later.

25. New York Giants. Offseason in three words: John Harbaugh’s team. The Giants have some solid players, beginning with quarterback Jaxson Dart. It’s partly why Harbaugh took the job this offseason. But this roster is about to get reworked to Harbaugh’s liking. He has already made it known that anybody who doesn’t love football will not be part of the team. Adding a fullback, becoming more physical and building the defense from the back end will all be part of this offseason. Also, finding more playmakers for Dart and the offense.
Dart’s pre-draft preparation included attending the Manning Passing Academy for several years, and he developed a close relationship with the NFL’s first family of quarterbacks. Eli and his dad, Archie, also played their college ball at Ole Miss. They took a special interest in Dart’s future and will continue to do so.
“(The Mannings) were just such an amazing asset for me when I was at Ole Miss,” Dart said. “Obviously going down to the Manning Passing Academy and spending more time with them there, and then Archie just being consistent with texting me, and he made sure to give me a good luck today, and then Eli, I couldn’t ask for a better resource than that. … I’m going to continue to lean on them a little bit, and I couldn’t be more blessed to have them in my corner.”

It’s that time of year, Mock Draft season. The Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl champions, and as the confetti falls, a new day is upon us. The chase to be the team that hoists the Vince Lombardi Trophy a year from now has already begun.
For the New York Giants, just when we have gotten a feel for the philosophy of the personnel and scouting departments under Joe Schoen, there’s a new coach in John Harbaugh with carte blanche to change the way this roster is built.

5. New York Giants: T Spencer Fano, Utah. Developing and protecting quarterback Jaxson Dart should be a top priority for new head coach John Harbaugh. Fano produced a position-best 92.0 PFF overall grade over the past two seasons and would slot in seamlessly as the Giants’ right tackle opposite of Andrew Thomas.

Former Giants coach Ray Handley died at the age of 81 late last week. Via Doug Rush of FanSided.com, Handley’s nephew confirmed the news that the former coach had died last Thursday.
Handley succeeded Bill Parcells as Giants head coach in 1991 and held the job through the 1992 season. New York went 8-8 under Handley in 1991 and 6-10 under Handley in 1992. He had formerly been the Giants’ offensive backfield coach until his promotion. After he was fired by the Giants, he did not coach again.
