The New York Giants will enter the 2026 season with one of the most talented and promising rosters in the NFL.
The team boasts an elite young core on both offense and defense, and it was widely regarded as the overall winner of the 2026 NFL draft in April. New York also added a strong group of veteran talent in free agency, positioning the Giants to compete in 2026 after a disastrous 2025 campaign.
ESPN analyst Peter Schrager recently shared his thoughts on where the Giants stand following the draft and free agency. Schrager believes New York could reach 11 or 12 wins this season.
“I think this might be an 11 or 12-win team,” he said. “I really do. I think the Jimmys and Joes are there—they have a very good roster. In that offensive room, you’ve got Matt Nagy, Greg Roman, and Brian Callahan: Three really talented play-callers, two of them former head coaches. And then Harbaugh is just the ultimate adult in the room.
"The way he handled the Malik Nabers podcast appearance during the draft, I thought, was a masterclass on leadership. I’m not trying to go overboard, but it has been some dark years for the New York football teams, and I don’t think double-digit wins is crazy for the Giants.”
New York made numerous coaching changes this offseason, most notably hiring former Ravens head coach John Harbaugh.
Harbaugh enters his first season as the Giants' head coach with massive expectations, but Schrager appears fully confident in the team nonetheless.
