They have several notable free agents: receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, cornerback Cor’Dale Flott, tackle Jermaine Eluemunor and linebacker Micah McFadden. The Giants want all of them back, Harbaugh said. The likelihood of that, however, appears slim.

The New York Giants were connected to a big-name trade candidate amid the latest NFL Combine news and rumors before free agency.

One NFL analyst believes New York Giants CB Cor'Dale Flott will be paid more than many people expect once free agency begins.

Of the other five players, linebacker Jason Worilds and running back Kenyon Drake signed the tender; center Alex Mack and cornerback Kyle Fuller had their offer sheets matched by their original teams; and tight end Charles Clay left the Miami Dolphins to sign with the Buffalo Bills after the Dolphins declined to match his offer sheet.

Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated pointed to the Giants and Commanders as "fascinating" landing spots for Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles.

The NFL has set the 2026 salary cap at $301.2 million, which may not mean much for the currently cash-strapped New York Giants.
