Overview
- Multiple outlets report the Giants and Harbaugh are in active negotiations on a multi-year agreement, with NFL Network reporting the framework as five years and sources describing the hire as expected barring setbacks.
- Harbaugh spent Wednesday in an all-day interview at the Giants’ facility, and AP reporting says he is no longer meeting with the Titans as he focuses on reaching the finish line with New York.
- ESPN reports quarterback Jaxson Dart participated in portions of the meetings, and the Giants’ appeal includes a young core plus the No. 5 pick in April’s draft.
- New York has fulfilled Rooney Rule requirements with interviews of Raheem Morris and Antonio Pierce, clearing the procedural path to finalize a hire once terms are agreed.
- In parallel, Mike Tomlin has stepped down from the Steelers after 19 seasons; Pittsburgh retains his rights through 2026 with a 2027 option, and ESPN reports he is not expected to coach in 2026 as broadcast interest builds.
