The 2025 NFL season is in the books. Congratulations to the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. As of Monday, though, everyone is 0-0 and aside from the partying Seahawks turning their attention to 2026. Where do way-too-early NFL power rankings for next season have the New York Giants?
Let’s take a look.

Offseason in three words: John Harbaugh’s team
The Giants have some solid players, beginning with quarterback Jaxson Dart. It’s partly why Harbaugh took the job this offseason. But this roster is about to get reworked to Harbaugh’s liking. He has already made it known that anybody who doesn’t love football will not be part of the team. Adding a fullback, becoming more physical and building the defense from the back end will all be part of this offseason. Also, finding more playmakers for Dart and the offense.
If they’re right about QB Jaxson Dart, then it’s a short leap for them to at least respectability. Because they have talent that has underachieved. And now, with John Harbaugh, they finally have a capable head coach.
The Giants will be a buzzy team to watch for a big turnaround a la the Patriots in 2025 because of Jaxson Dart’s big second-year passing upside and optimism over John Harbaugh bringing superior Tom Coughlin-like coaching.
n spite of injuries to key contributors and a head coaching change midway through the year, the New York Giants showed plenty of promise in 2025. Throw in a full offseason for Jaxson Dart to work with the team and a head-coaching splash hire in John Harbaugh, and you’re working with something intriguing.
The tandem of Harbaugh and new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy should bring stability to a young Giants offense. Their defensive line is extremely talented, though the secondary looks shaky heading into the offseason. If they can boost their defensive backfield and add a new offensive lineman to the mix, they could surprise a lot of people in 2025.
