The New York Giants have already made one major move this offseason, getting John Harbaugh to become their next head coach. Now, they’ve got a few more moves to make to help themselves get into playoff contention.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Well, FOX Sports NFL<\/a> writer Greg Auman<\/a> has the Giants landing two players in his top 100 NFL free agency list<\/a>. In fact, one of those players was in the top-five of his ranking.\u00a0<\/p>\n New York has roughly $6 million in cap space this offseason. So, the Giants might need to clear some cap to make some moves this spring.\u00a0<\/p>\n But let’s take a closer look at Auman’s two free agent predictions for the Giants.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sign Bears<\/a> S C.J. Gardner-Johnson\u00a0<\/p>\n (90th-best free agent, eighth-best free agent safety)<\/p>\n Auman’s thoughts: “Gardner-Johnson, 28, is such a mixed bag, with six picks each in 2022 and 2024 in Super Bowl<\/a> seasons with the Eagles<\/a>, but he bounced from the Texans<\/a> to the Bears last year, with two picks, three sacks and inconsistent play. Giving him a valuation is difficult \u2014 is he the guy who got $9 million a year not that long ago, or the one who was cut in-season and took a league-minimum deal with the Bears? Pairing him with the right coach to get him focused and playing at a high level again is a gamble that could still pay off.”<\/p>\n Sign Ravens<\/a> C Tyler Linderbaum<\/p>\n (Fifth-best free agent, best free agent center)<\/p>\n Auman’s thoughts: “Linderbaum, 25, has been to three straight Pro Bowls and was PFF’s No. 4 center in 2025. The Ravens had declined his fifth-year option, pricey at $24 million or so, and while he’s likely the highest-paid offensive lineman in free agency, that should be at less than $20 million a year. The league’s top-paid center right now is the Chiefs<\/a>‘ Creed Humphrey<\/a> at $18 million a year, so he’ll likely want to trump that. With coaching changes, will he stay in Baltimore, or look at joining John Harbaugh with the Giants<\/a> or Todd Monken with the Browns<\/a>?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Giants have already made one major move this offseason, getting John Harbaugh to become their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":748261,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2067],"tags":[117,1172,391,54,7738,7,519,253,110,122,1917,56,2321,2469,6,109,505,7427],"class_list":{"0":"post-748260","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-giants","8":"tag-baltimore-ravens","9":"tag-c-j-gardner-johnson","10":"tag-chicago-bears","11":"tag-cleveland-browns","12":"tag-creed-humphrey","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-giants","15":"tag-houston-texans","16":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs","17":"tag-national-football-league","18":"tag-new-york","19":"tag-new-york-giants","20":"tag-newyork","21":"tag-newyorkgiants","22":"tag-nfl","23":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","24":"tag-super-bowl","25":"tag-tyler-linderbaum"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116061021388542049","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=748260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748260\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/748261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=748260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=748260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=748260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
