In Bleacher Report’s latest offseason trade proposals, the New York Giants are encouraged to pursue Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey to bolster their secondary under new head coach John Harbaugh.
The suggested deal is low-risk for New York.
Giants Receive:Â CB Marlon Humphrey
Ravens Receive:Â 2026 fourth-round pick (No. 105), 2026 sixth-round pick (No. 191)
John Harbaugh takes over a roster that is mostly defined by its young, exciting talent in 2026. The former Ravens boss is going to go from a veteran-laden team to a franchise that is looking to build around Jaxon Dart.
The secondary is a specific unit that could use some veteran leadership. Cordale Flott, Paulson Adebo and Andru Phillips were the mainstays at cornerback this season. None are exactly foundational pieces moving forward.
Humphrey might be on the tail end of his peak. He’s 29 and his 2025 campaign didn’t live up to his All-Pro 2024 season.
However, his versatility as someone who can play in the slot and outside along with his experience with Harbaugh could make him a strong addition to New York’s secondary.
At this point, the Ravens can’t ask for too much in a trade because they are getting a significant amount of cap space from dealing a veteran who might be on his last legs.
The Giants desperately need cornerback upgrades after a disappointing secondary performance. With no third- or seventh-round picks available in 2026, surrendering a fourth- and sixth-rounder represents a premium but manageable cost—especially since they hold two other sixth-round selections to offset the outgoing pick.
Humphrey, a former All-Pro with multi-positional flexibility, would bring immediate experience and reunite with Harbaugh, potentially stabilizing a young group.
