Overview
- SNY’s Connor Hughes reported that John Harbaugh has identified Anthony Weaver as a leading candidate to run the Giants’ defense.
- Weaver previously served on Harbaugh’s Ravens staff from 2021 to 2023 as defensive line coach, run-game coordinator, and assistant head coach.
- In his first season as Miami’s coordinator in 2024, the Dolphins ranked No. 4 in total defense, though Yahoo Sports notes the unit finished 22nd in 2025.
- Weaver has interviewed for head-coach vacancies with the Ravens and Falcons, with interviews scheduled with the Cardinals and Steelers.
- Under NFL rules, Miami can block a lateral move for Weaver, while a head-coach hire elsewhere would bring the Dolphins third-round compensation picks.
