Overview
- As of late Friday into Saturday, the Giants and John Harbaugh have not finalized a deal, with insiders stressing the issues are contractual language and organizational setup rather than base compensation.
- Multiple reports point to questions over who holds final say on roster and draft decisions, with Schoen’s role cited as a sticking point, though some voices close to talks downplay a power fight and describe extensive legal review.
- Several outlets have circulated an expected framework near five years and roughly $100 million, while one veteran reporter says length and money are still being discussed.
- Harbaugh maintains leverage as other teams pursued him, with the Titans preparing a “huge” offer and the Falcons previously in the mix, contributing to a wider pause in the NFL coaching carousel.
- Initial word of a near-agreement surfaced late Wednesday, but by Friday night reporting indicated negotiations could extend into Saturday, with many still expecting a resolution and talk of an introductory event next week.
