When it comes to the New York Giants' outlook for 2026, NFL analyst Peter Schrager is seeing nothing but green. After a tough 2025 campaign, the Giants have reloaded in a big way—and Schrager believes the payoff could be massive.
Following a stellar draft class in April (widely considered the league's best) and a productive free agency period, New York has built what Schrager calls a "very good roster." The team's young core on both sides of the ball is drawing rave reviews, and the additions of veteran talent have set the stage for a potential turnaround.
"I think this might be an 11 or 12-win team," Schrager said. "I really do. The Jimmys and Joes are there."
Much of the optimism centers on the Giants' revamped coaching staff. New head coach John Harbaugh, fresh off his tenure in Baltimore, brings instant credibility. But it's the offensive brain trust that has Schrager especially excited: Matt Nagy, Greg Roman, and Brian Callahan—three experienced play-callers, two of them former head coaches—now shape the game plan.
Schrager also praised Harbaugh's leadership during a potentially tricky moment in the draft, when star wideout Malik Nabers made a podcast appearance. "I thought it was a masterclass on leadership," Schrager noted. "It's been some dark years for New York football teams, but double-digit wins isn't crazy for the Giants."
With a re-energized roster and a coaching staff loaded with experience, the Giants are poised to make noise in 2026. For fans who love the game—and the gear that goes with it—this is a season worth watching closely.
