– Coaching and roster control: Harbaugh is trimming most of the Daboll-era staff, keeping only linebackers coach Charlie Bullen and tight ends coach Tim Kelly. He’s taking a bigger hand in personnel decisions, and his “stronger voice” could reshape the roster this offseason alongside GM Joe Schoen. Expect bold moves and potential turnover of former Schoen picks.
– Deonte Banks on the radar: PFF views Banks as a top trade candidate entering the 2026 cycle. The 2023 first-rounder hasn’t lived up to the hype: a rough 43.8 PFF grade and a high 110.9 passer rating allowed when targeted. With Adebo’s deal in mind, the Giants might seek better corners, even if Banks is moved.
– Fit in Harbaugh’s scheme: If Harbaugh brings a Ravens-like plan, expect heavy man coverage (Ravens ranked among the league’s top man-coverage teams). That could keep Banks under the microscope and accelerate his Giants tenure’s end if he struggles in a more man-heavy system.
– Trade value reality: Banks’ stock isn’t high right now. With rookie-year penalties piling up (7 penalties in 2023; 21 total in three years), a big return isn’t likely. If a deal happens, a late-day-three pick could be the best-case win.
– Takeaway: The Harbaugh era promises a roster overhaul centered on his vision and scheme. Expect potential shakeups at corner, possible cuts, and a vigilant eye on who fits the new Giants blueprint. The offseason should be a fireworks show for Giants fans. 🏈📊🔥
