Welcome back to He's a Giant, where Monte and Sal break down the dawn of the John Harbaugh era for the New York Giants. In this slightly earlier-than-usual episode, the guys dissect the brand-new coaching staff stacked with veteran experience (Matt Nagy, Denard Wilson, Brian Callahan, Greg Roman, Mike Bloomgren & more), the fascinating front-office power shift with Dawn Aponte reporting directly to Harbaugh, and the aggressive “push-your-chips-in” free-agency philosophy they expect the Giants to take around their young core of Jaxson Dart, Malik Nabers, Andrew Thomas, and Dexter Lawrence. From potential offensive-line overhauls (Tyler Linderbaum, Wyatt Teller, Joel Bitonio, AVT) to wide-receiver and linebacker targets, plus every scheme-fit connection under the new regime, this is the ultimate roadmap for how the Giants plan to load up and compete in 2026.
