Welcome to one of the best times of the NFL calendar, New York Giants fans!
Yes, NFL free agency is upon us as teams will be permitted to negotiate with free agents from other teams leading up to (hopefully) deals being agreed to to help enhance the very first roster that will be overseen by head coach John Harbaugh.
At the same time, there will be players who will be moving on, either because they were cut or they chose to sign elsewhere.
It promises to be a crazy time–free agency always is. And it’s going to be fun to see what Harbaugh and general manager Joe Schoen have in store for this roster.

There's been an uptick in chatter regarding the Giants' potential interest in Jets UDA guard Alija Vera-Tucker. No surprise. The Giants desperately need guards. Also, there remains chatter of the Giants' interest in Browns guard Wyatt Teller.
ESPN reports the Giants are expected to be involved as one of the "serious suitors" for land Ravens UFA tight end Isaiah Likely. If the Giants were to land Likely, that would all but end any chance of Daniel Bellinger returning, especially in the wake of the team having re-signed Chris Manhertz on Monday morning.
SNY reports that "things are progressing" between the Giants and UFA cornerback Cor'Dale Flott. Flott, from what we have heard, has options and is interested in seeing what the market has to offer, but we'll see how that works out.
SNY reports that the Giants are looking to get right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor under contract before the starting of the two-day, league-wide negotiating window begins at noon.

Olszewski was a solid return specialist for the Giants last year. He also did well when called upon to fill in at slot receiver for Wan'Dale Robinson, and will get a chance to compete for that role this summer.
Manhertz's contributions as a blocking tight end often went unnoticed, but they were an integral part of the running game and figure to continue to be as such. This signing also likely means the end of Daienl Bellinger's time with the Giants, though we'll see what his market looks like.
Given the depth of this year's lienbackers cass in the draft, Okereke's $9 million cap savings was just too good to resist. He'll catch on somewhere though as he still has a lot to offer.
Hudson's fate was sealed after an epic meltdown in Week 2 which rendered him untrustworthy. When rookie Marcus Mbow passed the veteran on the depth chart, that sealed his fate.
Singletary's agreeing to a pay cut came as a surprise, but a pleasant one at that as he was the team's best short-yardage back last season and the best of the three running backs in the run-blocking department. He also has some value as a punt returner.
Here is the list of the Giants' unsigned unrestricted free agents. We'd venture to guess that more than half will not be back. The only question is will those who aren't back land with other teams which would potentially help the Giants with comp picks for 2027?
We don't anticipate the Giants will tender any of their restricted free agents (RFAs) as the lowest tender granting the Giants right of first refusal is $3.52 million. Instead, we look for the Giants to try bringing back Ford-Wheaton and Fox on lower-cost deals which would allow them to compete in training camp this summer.
An ERFA who has been tendered a one-year contract at the league minimum (based on his credited seasons), cannot negotiate with other teams.
While we wait for confirmation on which of the ERFAs have been tendered, the early thinking is that Green and Jones will receive tenders not just because the cornerback depth is so thin but because both were solid contributors on special teams.
