How Giants plan for Jaxson Dart offense to live in ‘different worlds’ | The Record
New York Giants coach John Harbaugh believes Jaxson Dart, his quarterback, has plenty of room to grow before coming anywhere close to the ceiling within his game.
The man leading that charge is Matt Nagy, who will run the offense being built from the ground up with Harbaugh’s new offensive coordinator at the forefront as he goes from coaching Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City to Dart back home in New Jersey.

Giants’ 6 biggest lingering issues as offseason workouts begin | NJ.com
Tremaine Edmunds taking charge: Bobby Okereke is out, and Edmunds is in at middle linebacker. Which version of Edmunds will the Giants get? Remember, he performed unevenly during three seasons in Chicago. Harbaugh needs Edmunds to not only set a tone as a run stopper — the Giants were putrid in that area last year — but also as an overall defensive leader. That process begins this spring.
In past years, it would have been Scheon’s call alone. Now, with Harbaugh leveraging a direct line of reporting to ownership, the coach and G.M. are on equal footing. If anything, Harbaugh has more juice.
To date, Harbaugh has praised Schoen. The mere fact that Harbaugh’s opinion of Schoen even matters shows how dramatically the Giants’ power structure has changed. Previously, the coach of the Giants worked for the G.M. Now, it already feels like the G.M. is working for the coach. And the Lawrence conundrum gives Harbaugh an opportunity to evaluate Schoen’s skills and abilities when it comes to finding a solution and negotiating a contract that allows the Giants to have enough cash and cap space to build a contending team.
What’s next for Dexter Lawrence and Giants following trade request? Opposing teams weigh in | SNY.tv
SNY surveyed a dozen teams across the NFL. The need to extend Lawrence, and his production dip, makes return compensation complicated. Every team expressed a desire for Lawrence on their team, but most weren’t willing to part with what they believed it would take to get him.
The most common expected return value: a late 2026 first-round pick, a 2027 first-round pick, or a second-and fifth-round pick. “I’d love him for a third,” one source said, “but obviously that’s not happening.”

More likely, this will play out in the coming weeks leading up to the April 23 start of the NFL draft. The Giants at this point have no interest in parting ways with Lawrence and want him to play out their remaining two years on his contract.
Could there be some sort of compromise? Sure. But if Lawrence, currently averaging $21.8 million per year, is looking to move into the range of the Eagles’ Jordan Davis and the Patriots’ Milton Williams (both at $26 million annually), at this point that appears unlikely to happen.

While that may be enough time to add depth, it’s a lot harder to reconfigure the entire offseason defensive plan without Lawrence. New defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson was especially bullish on keeping Lawrence this offseason, even though the team received calls about potential trades, a source told ESPN.
After internal discussions, the Giants were intent on moving along with Lawrence in the middle of their defense, in part because he’s a player who demands respect. Lawrence was second among all players last season with a 55.5% double-team rate, according to NextGen Stats. He was still fourth on the Giants with 14 run stops.

Giants re-sign wide receiver Ryan Miller | Giants.com
The New York Giants have re-signed wide receiver Ryan Miller, who was an exclusive rights free agent. Miller was claimed off waivers last December from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he played in 25 games and made six starts after originally joining the team as an undrafted rookie in 2023. He has yet to appear in a game with the Giants.
Miller’s career numbers include 14 catches for 162 yards and three touchdowns, in addition to 14 special teams tackles. Miller, 6-2 and 221 pounds, has also appeared in one postseason game and logged another special teams tackle
Giants Bolster Performance Staff, Hire George Sechen as New Assistant Trainer | SI.com
The New York Giants have hired George Sechen as their new assistant athletic trainer, according to the team’s website. Sechen will join Adam Bennett, who was hired as the team’s new head athletic trainer earlier this year.
Sechen first broke into the NFL as an athletic training intern with the Tennessee Titans in 2021. He later served as a seasonal athletic training intern for the Baltimore Ravens, where his career obviously first crossed paths with current Giants head coach John Harbaugh. Sechen was then hired full-time in 2025 by the Washington Commanders, with whom he spent a year before coming to the Giants this month.
