Overview
- Multiple outlets reported a five-year contract in the vicinity of $100 million, placing Harbaugh among the NFL’s highest-paid coaches.
- Talks stretched into Saturday as the sides resolved contract language on organizational authority and who the coach reports to, not financial terms.
- Harbaugh previously reported directly to Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, a structure that differs from the Giants’ typical coach–GM model under Joe Schoen.
- The drawn-out finish affected other searches, with interest from teams such as the Titans and Falcons and candidates waiting on New York’s outcome.
- With the deal done, Harbaugh turns to assembling his staff and planning the offseason around quarterback Jaxson Dart and the No. 5 draft pick.
