Giants Finalizing Five-Year, Near-$100 Million Deal to Hire John Harbaugh

The reported pact signals an aggressive reset for a 4-13 team.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the sides have an agreement in principle, with contract paperwork and a formal announcement pending.
  • The deal’s nearly $20 million annual average would place Harbaugh among the NFL’s highest-paid coaches.
  • New York outmaneuvered other suitors as Harbaugh canceled a planned Titans meeting after an all-day visit with Giants ownership and GM Joe Schoen.
  • Harbaugh is expected to target Ravens OC Todd Monken for the same role and is eyeing Anthony Weaver for defensive coordinator, with several former Baltimore assistants in consideration.
  • Questions remain about how roster authority will be divided with Schoen as Harbaugh assembles his staff and begins shaping plans around QB Jaxson Dart and the Giants’ No. 5 draft pick.
