We don\u2019t know precisely what the Giants\u2019 plan for free agency is, though we\u2019ll find out soon enough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Giants\u2019 draft will almost certainly be influenced, if not outright determined, by free agency. For instance, the decision to release linebacker Bobby Okereke creates a need that could be filled by players like Sonny Styles or Jacob Rodriguez.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It\u2019s significant then, that the Giants have important free agents at the premium positions of offensive tackle, wide receiver, and cornerback \u2014 not to mention the importance of tight end in John Harbaugh\u2019s Baltimore teams. So what happens with right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor, wide receiver Wan\u2019Dale Robinson, cornerback Cor\u2019Dale Flott, and tight end Daniel Bellinger will have a big impact on the Giants\u2019 draft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Giants fans believe that Eluemunor is the most likely to return among the top free agents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Eluemunor is over the age of 30 and is a good \u2014 but not great \u2014 starter, but he still might be the Giants\u2019 most important starter. Losing Eluemunor creates a massive hole that the Giants need to fill, but their options could be limited.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The free agent pool at offensive tackle \u2014 let alone specifically right tackle \u2014 is limited this year. If the Giants cant retain Eluemunor and the pool dries up, the Giants would be forced to turn to the draft. Unfortunately, this year\u2019s tackle class isn\u2019t great either. The top two tackles in the class, Francis Mauigoa and Spencer Fano, might not even be tackles at the NFL level.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Three years from now, we might find that only one or two starting tackles came out of this class.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Robinson and Bellinger are probably the Giants\u2019 two most reliable receiving options, while Flott is coming off of a breakout year at cornerback. However, each of those positions are also easier to fill this year between free agency and the draft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">John Harbaugh has established winning the NFC East as the standard for the Giants in 2026, even though the Giants are <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/navigation\/nfl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">currently the least-favored team<\/a> to win the division per FanDuel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The start of the 2026 NFL free agency period is just around the corner, and it promises to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":798133,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2067],"tags":[7,519,1917,56,7558,2321,2469,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-798132","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-giants","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-giants","10":"tag-new-york","11":"tag-new-york-giants","12":"tag-new-york-giants-free-agency","13":"tag-newyork","14":"tag-newyorkgiants","15":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116187228017680850","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/798132","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=798132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/798132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/798133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=798132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=798132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=798132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
