Jan 16 The New York Giants have fired defensive backs coach/passing game coordinator Jerome Henderson and safeties coach Mike Treier, per NFL insider Mike Garafolo. Henderson had been with the Giants since 2020 when he was initially hired by Joe Judge. He is a former NFL player and has been a defensive backs coach in the NFL since 2007. Henderson, 55, has been a highly-respected coach. These moves are perhaps another indication that Bowen will remain as defensive coordinator, and that the Giants could lean into finding players and coaches more in tune with the scheme Bowen wants to run.

Jan 15 While figuring out the quarterback situation is easily the top priority for the Giants this offseason, improving the defense has to be a close second. The Giants ended the season ranking 21st in points and 24th in yards allowed. The run defense was the team's Achilles heel, as the unit finished 27th in rushing yards allowed and 24th in rushing yards allowed per attempt. The Giants held only four opponents to under 100 rushing yards this season, while allowing over 125 yards on the ground nine different times. The one area the defense really found success in was in the red zone. The Giants allowed a touchdown on 29 of 54 trips inside their 20-yard line, with that 53.7 percent red zone defense ranking 11th in the NFL.

Jan 14 The latest on what is known about the 2025 NFL salary cap and where the Giants stand. Postseason accounting is apparently done for the non-playoff teams, and according to Over the Cap, the New York Giants will carry over $1.172 million of leftover 2024 cap space into 2025. The Giants' carryover cap amount is the third-lowest of all 32 teams, behind only the Jets ($345,919) and Panthers ($490,368)..

Jan 13 Expect Shane Bowen to be back with the Giants in 2025 for a second season as the defensive coordinator. Sure, the less-than-shocking news Sunday that Mike Vrabel was hired as the Patriots head coach sparked speculation that Bowen could be headed to New England, considering Bowen made the calls on defense for four years when Vrabel was the Titans head coach. The belief, according to sources, is that Bowen wants to remain with the Giants and that Vrabel is thinking of going in a different direction as he assembles his new coaching staff.

Michael Strahan, Hall of Fame defensive end and beloved New York Giants icon, publicly torched Joe Schoen's decision-making during a FOX broadcast. His target? The offseason moves-or lack thereof-that sent Saquon Barkley and Xavier McKinney packing to rival teams.

Jan 12 The New York Giants thought they had their offensive line woes behind them when they entered the 2024 regular season. General manager Joe Schoen had added two key free agents (Jermaine Eluemunor and Jon Runyan Jr.) to mix in with his young core of tackles Andrew Thomas and Evan Neal and center John Michael Schmitz, and optimism was high. Then, the wheels came off. Little by little the line disintegrated and by the time the season ended, the Giants had used 10 different combinations along the offensive line - tied for the most in the NFL this season and matching last year's fire drill of a system.

Jan 11 Giants general manager Joe Schoen built a roster capable of winning three games and a culture capable of losing 14. From letting priority free agents walk in the name of positional value to helping ensure no team ever signs up for an offseason edition of Hard Knocks ever again, it's been a turbulent two seasons since winning a playoff game in Year 1. His lack of success may only be matched by the criticism he's facing for an October skirmish with veteran corner Nick McCloud.

Daniel Jones has joined the Minnesota Vikings, a team firmly in the hunt for a Super Bowl title and recognized as one of the most consistent in the NFL. Initially signed to the practice squad in November 2024, Jones has now earned a promotion to the active roster. Head coach Kevin O'Connell has already expressed satisfaction with Jones' development, suggesting he could potentially become Sam Darnold's backup quarterback.

Jan 10 If it could go wrong for the Giants this season, it did. They got blown out in the opener and the opposing coach said his team was "more prepared." Twenty players and coaches spoke to ESPN about one of the worst seasons in franchise history. Insecurity, lack of accountability, conviction and veteran leadership in the locker room were some of the reasons pinpointed by those who took stock of what went wrong.

Jan 9 John Mara, one-half of the team's ownership, tried to explain the reasons for running it back with Schoen and Daboll when he met with the media on Monday after the decision was announced. But during his 11-minute session, Mara, who claimed to have confidence in the duo still, seemed to contradict himself.

Eli Manning would be interested in having a Minority NFL Ownership Stake. The Giants aren't for sale, but if the team was, the Giants' all-time passing record holder would be interested in a minority ownership stake.

Jan 8 Given a guarantee that they will have the opportunity to improve the Giants' fortunes, Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll set out to do exactly that. But in separate news conferences this afternoon, they offered scant detail how they plan to do it. Daboll's job security was the subject of much outside speculation over the last six weeks of the season. But Mara deemed the continuity of keeping his G.M. and coach together was better than creating upheaval by re-filling one or both jobs.

Isaiah Hodgins, who starred when he came to the New York Giants during the second half of the 2022 season but saw his role diminish the last two seasons, has left the Giants for the San Francisco 49ers.

Jan 7 The New York Giants are retaining general manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll off a 3-14 season, team president John Mara announced in a statement. Daboll said he was officially told of his return Monday morning. He admitted nothing was good enough this past season, the results were "terrible," and the team has a lot of work to do moving forward.
Schoen and Daboll each has two years remaining on his contract. They will be under pressure to produce a better result immediately. While Mara didn't put a specific timeline on a turnaround, he didn't offer much leeway. "Better not take too long, because I've just about run out of patience," Mara said.

Game 17 Preview - Giants (3-13) - Eagles (13-3)
Last week the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys were tied 7-7 at the end of the first quarter. After that, the Eagles ran away with the game, and had a 41-7 win over the Cowboys.
The Giants scored big in their game with the Indianapolis Colts. Once they took the lead in the first quarter, they never let go, and finished with a 45-33 win over the Colts.

Jan 4 The New York Giants already lost control of the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft by defeating the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday. They aren't going to enter Sunday's season finale against the Philadelphia Eagles worrying about trying to improve their current No. 4 spot in the draft order. They are entering the game trying to finish the season with back-to-back victories. For the Giants, every healthy starter will play.

Jan 3 Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence is an unsurprising Pro Bowl starter for the NFC. It's the third year in a row Lawrence has earned this accolade, the first of which will likely not be accompanied by an All-Pro selection. That's a testament to his health, though, and not his performance. Lawrence finished his year with a career-high nine sacks in 12 games. Receiver Malik Nabers was named an alternate. Edge rusher Brian Burns was also named an alternate.

Jan 2 Malik Nabers didn't just catch the ball against the Indianapolis Colts, he ran long distances once he had it in his hands. The result was the most productive and exciting game in the rookie's terrific rookie season. Nabers scored two touchdowns and finished with a season-high 171 receiving yards on seven catches in the Giants' 45-33 victory against the Colts.

Saquon Barkley gets rest instead of rushing record. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni ended the suspense Wednesday by saying "we're going to rest some guys," saying that includes Barkley. The Eagles have bigger goals, and so does Barkley.

Jan 1 As the calendar flips to 2025, the New York Giants face another off-season of soul-searching after a dismal 2024 campaign. This team doesn't just need tweaks; it needs a complete overhaul. While some issues plaguing the Giants have persisted for years, others emerged as harsh realities this season. These four resolutions will help the franchise escape its rut and restore its reputation.

Dec 31 The Giants got back in the win column when they defeated the Colts, 45-33, at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. The win brings the Giants to 3-13 as they head into the season finale against the 13-3 Eagles in Philadelphia. It was a record-setting day for numerous Giants, as the team put together the franchise's best offensive performance in years. Five things we learned in the Week 17 win.

Game 16 Preview - Giants (2-13) - Colts (7-8)
Last Sunday the Indianapolis Colts held a 38-7 lead over the Tennessee Titans midway through the third quarter. The Titans came up with three touchdowns after that, but it wasn't enough and they finished with a 38-30 loss to the Colts.
On Sunday looked to be a good sign that the Giants scored first in their game with the Atlanta Falcons. After that, they failed to score again, and took a 34-7 loss to the Falcons.

Dec 28 The New York Giants 2024 season is almost at a close and they'll host the Indianapolis Colts for their final home game of the season. The Giants are coming into the game 0-8 at home and are categorically the worst team in the NFL. But even so, they have something to play for as they try to avoid being the first team in the 17-game era to be 0-9 at home. The Colts, meanwhile, are 7-8 on the year and still have some hope of making the post season.

Dec 27 While this season was supposed to be historic for the New York Giants-marking the franchise's 100th season and surpassing 10 wins, a franchise record-the team is on the verge of making some embarrassing history that neither the fans nor owner John Mara are thrilled about.

Dec 26 If the New York Giants aspire to become a powerhouse football team like they were for most of the Tom Coughlin era, it's important that they focus on one area in particular to make that happen: the trenches. Such is the opinion of ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky, who told Kevin Clark that the Giants' shift away from building up the offensive and defensive lines has not helped the team break free from the doldrums since they last won a Super Bowl in 2011.

Dec 25 The Giants are holding a rare Tuesday practice before their Sunday game against the Colts. Head coach Brian Daboll said that quarterback Drew Lock, who underwent an MRI on his throwing shoulder Monday, is on track to play Sunday when the Giants host the Indianapolis Colts in the regular season finale.

Dec 24 For the final time during the 2024 season, the Giants will take the field at MetLife Stadium Sunday as they face off against the Indianapolis Colts. The Giants will wrap up their season with a divisional matchup against the Eagles next week in Philadelphia. Five storylines to follow in Week 17.
