Coach John Harbaugh has the team deep in offseason prep mode. Rookie minicamp is underway, and the Giants have been busy building out their roster. They've already signed defensive lineman DJ Reader, claimed defensive lineman Zacch Pickens off waivers, and brought in seven undrafted rookie free agents to compete for spots.
The 2026 draft class is getting fitted for equipment and settling into their new roles. Draft picks have already received their jersey numbers, and the team is working through the early evaluation phase to see what these rookies can bring to the field.
The Clock Is Ticking
