Harbaugh Admits He Contacted Titans Owner About Jeffery Simmons

The move signals the Giants' aggressive approach to the Nov. 10 trade deadline by bypassing an unwritten practice that limits contact to general managers.

Overview

  • Giants coach John Harbaugh acknowledged on Monday that he left a message for Tennessee Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk asking about a possible trade for defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons.
  • Harbaugh said he will take calls at any level and rejected an informal norm that only general managers should negotiate, adding that the Giants are transparent internally about trade outreach.
  • New York says it is 'turning over every stone' before the Nov. 10 deadline but stressed any acquisition must fit the team's financial profile and not cost only short‑term draft capital.
  • Yahoo Sports reported the Giants sought ownership contact after limited engagement from Titans GM Mike Borgonzi and that the Chicago Bears had an offer the Titans did not appear to match, but no trade has been completed.
  • The call raises pressure on the Titans to respond before the deadline and signals the Giants’ urgency to add an impact defender while weighing locker‑room fit and longer‑term value.
