The New York Giants<\/a> have made several moves in the early part of the offseason, but have they done enough to field a winning team in 2026?<\/p>\n

In the eyes of Pro Football Focus analyst Mason Cameron<\/a>, the Giants remain a work in progress despite significant roster reshaping in free agency this winter. He ranks them No. 24 overall.<\/p>\n

John Harbaugh\u2019s first offseason leading the\u00a0Giants\u00a0has already spurred significant roster turnover.\u00a0Isaiah Likely,\u00a0Patrick Ricard\u00a0and\u00a0Ar’Darius Washington\u00a0highlight former\u00a0Ravens\u00a0who followed Harbaugh to New York \u2014\u00a0under-the-radar\u00a0talent familiar with the culture Harbaugh aims to build. It will likely take multiple offseasons for the roster to take shape, but those signings will assist in the transition.<\/p>\n

The Giants finished the 2025 season with a 4-13 record. After missing the playoffs for the third straight year, New York hired John Harbaugh\u2014the former Super Bowl champion coach\u2014to lead the team next season.<\/p>\n

The Giants’ free-agency additions addressed key areas of need. However, the departures of wide receiver Wan\u2019Dale Robinson and cornerback Cor\u2019Dale Flott in free agency leave the team without two of their leading contributors at those positions from 2025.<\/p>\n
