Jermaine Eluemunor rose from rock bottom. Now, his reward awaits | Competitor
Jermaine Eluemunor believes – in fact, that’s not strong enough. Jermaine Eluemunor knows he’s the best right tackle in the NFL.
“I made sure to let anyone who wanted to listen to me know that I believe I’m the best right tackle in the league and my film proves it,” said Elumuno, who is set to hit free agency after two seasons with the Giants. He’s increasingly hungry for one-on-one matchups with the NFL’s top pass rushers. He vowed that anyone who watched the footage of these battles would believe his bold claims.

Giants checked out LB Devin Lloyd, interested in LB Alex Anzalone | USA TODAY Network
Lloyd, a 27-year-old off-ball linebacker, has emerged as a second-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honoree in 2025 while finishing with 81 tackles, five interceptions and a stellar 6-for-99 yards. His versatility and playmaking ability make him an interesting option in the middle of New York’s defense.

Detroit Lions linebacker Alex Anzalone has been a reliable starter for the Lions, racking up more than 600 career tackles and making solid contributions in run defense and pass coverage during his time in New Orleans and Detroit. As the Giants build a more physical team under new leadership, these linebackers represent potential targets as the Giants look for reliable MIKE linebackers to stabilize the secondary and improve the run game.

C. Taylor Linderbaum. It will cost them, but rightfully so, many around the league expect this move to happen. The Giants have long needed to upgrade their offensive line, and new coach John Harbaugh will insist on that. So why not bring in one of his best players from Baltimore? The 25-year-old is exactly the anchor they need in the middle. He’s durable and has made three straight Pro Bowls, which will give a huge boost to the strong running game Harbaugh wants to build.

2026 NFL Free Agency: Top needs and predictions for 32 teams | ESPN.com
What do you expect to happen: Address the inside linebacker situation in free agency or via trade and possibly the draft. The Giants waived starting middle linebacker and defensive captain Bobby Okereke before he hit free agency. Micah McFadden is a free agent coming off a right foot injury. McFadden will likely re-sign, but the Giants could still add a veteran in free agency and draft Ohio State’s Sonny Styles with the fifth pick. not impossible
The missing piece on every NFL team’s offense and defense | Bleacher Report
Offense: The Giants have a lot of interesting pieces, but they still need the offensive line to bring it all together. Finding successors on the right side for Jermaine Eluemunor and Greg Van Roten will be a huge task. They snagged Francis Moygoya in our latest mock draft.
Defense: The defensive line is terrible, but the secondary leaves a lot to be desired. Reuniting with Marlon Humphrey via trade could help strengthen the unit. Then again, a young free agent like NaShun Wright could be a longer-term solution.

New York Giants: WR Rasheed Shahid. The Giants’ receiving corps looks like an early LeBron James Cavaliers team. Outside of Malik Nabors, they lack a real difference-maker. Adding Shahid to the offense and returning to the game would be a huge win for the Giants.
Why the Giants still view Dexter Lawrence as a ‘super important’ player after a forgettable 2025 | New York Post
Shortly after news broke that the Giants had hired John Harbaugh as head coach, Leonard Williams picked up his phone and sent a text message to one of his best friends, Dexter Lawrence. “I was like, ‘Hey, I love this move from you guys,'” Williams said.
