Overview
- New York completed a reported five-year contract worth about $100 million with the former Ravens coach, ending a multi-day negotiation.
- Multiple outlets reported the holdup centered on contract language over reporting lines and operational control rather than salary.
- Albert Breer reported that Harbaugh will report directly to ownership, a departure from the Giants’ typical structure under the general manager.
- The Giants moved quickly after Baltimore fired Harbaugh 11 days earlier, outpacing interest from teams such as the Falcons and Titans.
- Harbaugh begins evaluating the roster and assembling his staff, with early attention on rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart and the team’s young core ahead of the No. 5 draft pick.
