Overview
- Atlanta announced it completed an interview with Harbaugh on Monday, marking his first formal meeting since his Jan. 6 firing by Baltimore.
- League reporting indicates the Giants and Falcons are viewed as Harbaugh’s top options, with the Titans considered a distant third and some mutual interest noted with the Browns.
- Harbaugh plans to limit interviews to roughly three or four teams and has been studying quarterbacks Jaxson Dart and Cam Ward while contacting team decision-makers and potential assistants.
- Claims that he requires a $20 million salary and full roster control are disputed, with sources saying those are not conditions to hire him though a high salary and some say on personnel are expected.
- The Dolphins and Titans are still seen as contenders to pitch him, with Atlanta’s lack of a sitting GM potentially offering influence and the Giants recruiting aggressively after satisfying Rooney Rule requirements for a swift hire.
