The post Lawrence Taylor Autograph Signing 8/29/26 first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

In a recent episode of the Bleed Big Blue Podcast, I broke down why my opinion has changed. While I still believe Schoen’s first few seasons were far from perfect, the way he and Harbaugh appeared to work together throughout the draft has given me a different perspective on the direction of this franchise.

John Harbaugh’s Arrival Changed My Perspective

The biggest reason I’m more comfortable with Joe Schoen staying is John Harbaugh. If Harbaugh signed off on extending Schoen, that’s good enough for me. Ownership clearly trusts their general manager, but just as importantly, their new head coach does too.

Watching the 2026 NFL Draft, it felt like Harbaugh and Schoen were working together instead of competing for control. Harbaugh may have identified players he wanted, but Schoen looked comfortable navigating the draft board. He seemed to know exactly when he could be patient and when he needed to be aggressive. Trading up for Malachi Fields was a perfect example. To me, that’s where a general manager earns his paycheck.

Joe Schoen Still Has to Own His Early Draft Misses

None of this erases what happened during Schoen’s first few seasons. His first draft class included Kayvon Thibodeaux and Evan Neal, two top-10 picks who simply haven’t lived up to expectations. When you’re drafting that high, those are players who have to become cornerstones of your franchise.

At the same time, it’s worth remembering that very few people questioned those selections when they were made. If the Giants hadn’t drafted either player, another team likely would have taken them just a few picks later. That’s the reality of the NFL Draft. Sometimes the consensus gets it wrong, and sometimes talented players never develop the way everyone expected.

Great General Managers Earn Their Money on Day 2 and Day 3

One point we talked about on the podcast is something I’ve always believed. The players at the top of the draft are usually obvious. Most fans can identify the best prospects because we’ve spent months watching highlights, reading mock drafts, and hearing analysts talk about them.

Where general managers really separate themselves is in the middle and later rounds. That’s where you find future starters, quality depth, and the occasional hidden gem that every other team overlooked. Those are the picks that quietly build winning football teams, and that’s an area where I’ll continue to judge Joe Schoen over the next few years.

Was It Really the Players, or Was It the Coaching?

Another thing I’ve started wondering is how much of the Giants’ struggles came down to coaching rather than talent. Harbaugh chose to keep several players that many fans, myself included, had started to lose faith in. That tells me he still sees something worth developing.

Take Evan Neal as an example. I’ve always wondered what his market would have looked like if he had actually reached free agency. I don’t think teams would have been throwing huge contracts at him, but I guarantee there would have been coaches around the league saying, “Give me that player. I can fix him.”

Every sport has coaches who believe they can unlock a player’s potential. Maybe Harbaugh and his staff can finally get more out of some of these former first-round picks.

Looking Back at the Saquon Barkley Decision

Another move that’s still debated is letting Saquon Barkley leave in free agency. I’ll admit it hurt watching him sign with Philadelphia, and it hurt even more seeing him win a Super Bowl with a division rival. No Giants fan enjoyed watching that.

Even so, I still think it was the right football decision. Barkley was an incredible talent, but he also battled injuries throughout much of his Giants career. More importantly, the Giants simply weren’t built to maximize what he did best.

The offensive line wasn’t good enough, the passing game wasn’t good enough, and defenses consistently stacked the box because they weren’t worried about getting beat through the air. The Giants weren’t winning consistently with Barkley on the roster, so paying top dollar for a running back wasn’t going to fix the bigger issues facing the team.

Joe Schoen Has Earned Another Opportunity, Now He Has to Deliver

Joe Schoen’s tenure as general manager hasn’t been perfect. There have been draft misses, difficult roster decisions, and plenty of criticism. At one point, I thought the Giants needed a complete reset, and that included moving on from both Schoen and Brian Daboll.

Today, I don’t feel that way. Ownership believes in Joe Schoen, and John Harbaugh clearly does too. After watching how this offseason unfolded and seeing the approach they took during the 2026 NFL Draft, I’m beginning to understand why the Giants chose to stick with him.

Now comes the part that matters most. The contract extension is signed, the draft is complete, and the excuses are over. It’s time for Joe Schoen to prove the New York Giants made the right decision.

The post Ottis Anderson Autograph Signing 7/31/26 first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

Kayvon Thibodeaux is entering one of the biggest seasons of his NFL career.

The former first-round pick has heard the trade rumors all offseason, but he’s still on the New York Giants roster and appears to be embracing John Harbaugh’s new culture. Reports coming out of camp have been overwhelmingly positive, with Thibodeaux earning praise for his work ethic and attitude.

That raises an interesting question.

How much does he have to do this season for the Giants to bring him back?

There Isn’t a Magic Sack Number

During our latest podcast, we debated how many sacks Thibodeaux would need to record before the Giants should consider signing him to a new contract.

The truth is, I don’t think there’s a specific number.

If he finishes with 10 sacks, that’s a productive season. But sacks alone don’t tell the whole story.

An edge rusher impacts games in a lot of different ways. Quarterback pressures, setting the edge against the run, forcing offenses to change their game plan, and coming through in big moments all matter just as much.

Sometimes you don’t need a stat sheet.

You simply know it when you see it.

Contract Years Bring Out the Best

One reason I’m optimistic is because contract years have a way of motivating players.

When a new deal is on the line, players often find another level. Thibodeaux has every reason to put together the best season of his career, whether it’s to earn a long-term contract with the Giants or prove his value around the league.

Everything we’ve heard so far suggests he’s buying into what John Harbaugh is building.

Of course, some fans have wondered if all the positive reports are simply increasing his trade value. That’s certainly possible, but it could also just mean Thibodeaux is responding to a new coaching staff that’s demanding accountability.

Either way, it’s good news for the Giants.

Will the Giants Bring Him Back?

I still think it would take an outstanding season for the Giants to hand Thibodeaux a long-term extension.

If he has an average year and is looking for elite edge rusher money, I think that becomes a difficult conversation.

On the other hand, if he has the breakout season everyone has been waiting for and his contract demands are reasonable, there’s no reason the Giants couldn’t work something out.

The salary cap isn’t a major issue right now, and you can never have too many pass rushers.

Final Thoughts

For me, this isn’t about chasing a sack total.

It’s about impact.

Does Kayvon Thibodeaux consistently affect games? Does he look like a cornerstone player on a defense that John Harbaugh is trying to build?

If the answer is yes, bringing him back becomes an easy decision.

If not, the Giants will likely let him walk and continue building around the young core they’ve assembled.

One thing is certain: no player on the roster may have more riding on the 2026 season than Kayvon Thibodeaux.

The post Will the Giants Give Kayvon Thibodeaux a New Contract? first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

The New York Giants open the 2026 season against the Dallas Cowboys, and naturally everyone wants to see Malik Nabers on the field.

But if he’s not 100 percent healthy, I think the Giants need to be patient.

I’m not saying Nabers won’t be ready. He very well could be. But if he’s only 80 or 90 percent, I don’t think it’s worth taking the risk. It’s Week 1 of a long season, not the playoffs. As exciting as opening against a division rival is, the Giants have to think bigger than one game.

Sometimes the Best Move Is Waiting

Dallas is always an important matchup, but the Giants play them twice every year. They know each other well, and they’ll have another opportunity later in the season.

If holding Nabers out for one more week means he’s fully healthy for the next four months, that’s an easy decision for me.

We’ve seen too many examples across sports where teams rush star players back only to watch them suffer another injury. During our discussion, we talked about similar situations in other sports where organizations prioritized the short term instead of the long-term health of their star players.

The Giants simply can’t afford to make that mistake with their franchise wide receiver.

This Season Is Bigger Than Week 1

One reason I’d be cautious is because I actually believe this Giants team has a chance to surprise people.

I’ve said before that I think this team can win somewhere between eight and ten games if things break their way. If that’s the expectation, then protecting one of your most important players becomes even more important.

There’s no sense jeopardizing the next 16 games just to force him onto the field for the first one.

If he’s healthy, great. Play him.

If not, let him heal.

Odell Beckham Jr. Gives the Giants Another Option

Since we recorded the podcast, the Giants officially signed Odell Beckham Jr., and I think there’s a very good chance he makes the final 53-man roster.

No, this isn’t the same Odell who took the league by storm as a rookie, and nobody should expect that version to return. But he doesn’t have to be that player to help this team.

If Malik Nabers isn’t ready for Week 1, having a veteran like Odell gives the Giants another capable receiver who understands the spotlight and can still contribute. That’s exactly why bringing him back made sense to me. He can help bridge the gap while Nabers gets back to full strength instead of forcing your young star onto the field before he’s ready.

And honestly, I’d love nothing more than to see Odell come back in a Giants uniform and torch the Cowboys in Week 1. That would be a pretty special way to begin the season. But even if that doesn’t happen, simply having another experienced playmaker available gives the Giants some flexibility and allows them to be patient with Malik Nabers’ recovery.

Final Thoughts

Every Giants fan wants to beat Dallas to open the season. There’s no question about that.

But this season is about much more than one game.

If Malik Nabers is completely healthy, put him on the field and let him go to work.

If he isn’t, the smart move is to wait.

The Giants believe they’ve built a team that can compete this season. Protecting one of the biggest pieces of that future is the right decision, even if it means waiting one more week.

At the end of the day, I’d rather have Malik Nabers available for 16 or 17 games than rush him back for one and risk losing him again. That’s the bigger picture the Giants need to keep in mind.

The post New York Giants Face Tough Malik Nabers Week 1 Decision first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

From Saquon Barkley’s workload to the possibility of losing A.J. Brown, there were plenty of reasons to believe the Eagles may not be the same team Giants fans have grown accustomed to seeing at the top of the division. While they’re still loaded with talent, every NFL contender eventually reaches a point where the cracks begin to show.

Is Saquon Barkley Due for Regression?

Saquon Barkley put together an outstanding season in Philadelphia, but history isn’t exactly kind to running backs coming off heavy workloads.

I’ve always been a big fan of Saquon. In fact, when he was with the Giants, I understood why the front office hesitated to give him a massive long-term contract. It wasn’t because of his talent. It was because of the injuries that followed him throughout much of his career.

Now that he’s entering another season after carrying the load, I think it’s fair to wonder if we’ll start to see some regression. Running backs rarely get better as they get older, especially after they’ve accumulated a lot of touches.

I’m not rooting against him just because he plays for Philadelphia. It’s simply the reality of the position. Eventually, every running back slows down.

Could Losing A.J. Brown Change Everything?

Editor’s Note: This podcast was recorded before A.J. Brown was traded. At the time, trade rumors were heating up, and we discussed what the Eagles would look like if they moved on from their star wide receiver. Shortly after the recording, Philadelphia traded Brown, confirming the speculation.

One of the biggest talking points during our discussion was how losing Brown could completely change the Eagles’ offense.

There’s no question that DeVonta Smith is an excellent receiver, but I don’t view him as the type of player who consistently commands double teams as a true No. 1 option. Brown forced defenses to account for him on every snap. Without that threat, opposing defenses can devote far more attention to stopping Saquon Barkley and make life much tougher on the passing game.

That creates a ripple effect throughout the offense. With Brown now gone, it’ll be interesting to see whether Jalen Hurts can elevate the players around him without one of the NFL’s premier wide receivers.

Can Jalen Hurts Carry the Offense?

Another question we discussed is whether Jalen Hurts can consistently elevate the offense if the supporting cast isn’t as dominant as it has been in recent years.

Philadelphia’s offensive line is still good, but I don’t think it’s quite the unstoppable unit it once was. If the running game becomes less effective and Brown is no longer there to stretch defenses, Hurts may be forced to win more games with his arm.

That’s something I’m still not convinced he can do over the course of an entire season.

Will the Salary Cap Finally Catch Up to Philadelphia?

For years, the Eagles have done an incredible job manipulating the salary cap.

Every offseason, it seems like they’re able to keep signing star players while everyone else wonders how they’re pulling it off. Credit to their front office because they’ve mastered restructuring contracts and pushing money into future seasons.

But eventually, those decisions have to catch up with you.

Maybe it isn’t this year. Maybe it’s two years from now. But at some point, constantly kicking the financial can down the road becomes much harder to sustain.

My Prediction: The Eagles Finish Third in the NFC East

I think the Eagles take a significant step backward this season. If everything we’ve discussed starts to unfold, Barkley slows down, the offense has to adjust without A.J. Brown, the passing game becomes easier to defend, and some of the pressure from their salary cap situation begins to mount, I could see Philadelphia finishing third in the NFC East.

That’s certainly a bold take, especially considering how talented their roster still is, but every year there’s a team that disappoints. I think the Eagles could be that team in 2026.

Will I end up being right? Time will tell.

One thing is certain: if the Eagles stumble early, the pressure in Philadelphia will build quickly, and things could unravel faster than many people expect.

Final Thoughts

The Eagles are still a talented football team, and nobody should expect them to simply roll over. But maintaining success in the NFL is incredibly difficult. Rosters change, players age, injuries happen, and sometimes a team that looked unstoppable one year takes a noticeable step back the next.

Whether it’s Saquon Barkley’s workload, replacing A.J. Brown, questions surrounding Jalen Hurts, or the long-term effects of pushing money into future seasons, I think there are enough warning signs to believe Philadelphia could regress in 2026.

We’ll find out soon enough if this prediction looks foolish or ends up being one of the bigger storylines of the season.

What do you think? Will the Eagles remain one of the NFC’s elite teams, or are they due for a step back? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

The post The Eagles Look Vulnerable Heading Into 2026 first appeared on Bleedbigblue.com.

The New York Giants have one of the biggest question marks on the roster at wide receiver. There’s some intriguing talent in the room, but outside of a few veterans, it’s largely an unproven group.

That makes training camp one of the most interesting position battles to watch this summer. During a recent episode of the Bleed Big Blue Podcast, we broke down who we think makes the final 53-man roster. Since recording, a few things have changed, including the return of Odell Beckham Jr., which definitely changes the outlook.

Odell Beckham Jr. Changes My Prediction

When we recorded the podcast, Odell Beckham Jr. hadn’t signed with the Giants. Now that he’s back in blue, I think he earns one of the six wide receiver spots.

The Giants didn’t bring Beckham back just for the headlines. If he’s healthy, I expect him to make the final 53-man roster and give this young group another veteran presence.

His signing makes the competition even tougher for everyone else!

Is Malik Nabers Ready for Week 1?

One storyline I’ll continue to watch is Malik Nabers’ recovery.

Personally, I don’t think he’ll be ready for Week 1. That’s just my opinion based on where things stand today.

The good news is the Giants don’t have to rush him back. This coaching staff can afford to be patient and make sure he’s fully healthy before putting him back on the field.

What Happens to Jalin Hyatt?

Jalin Hyatt enters one of the biggest training camps of his career.

I said on the podcast that unless he has an outstanding preseason, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Giants look to move him before roster cutdowns.

The talent has always been there, but we’re entering Year 4 and he still hasn’t carved out a consistent role. At some point, potential has to turn into production.

Another thing that’s changed since we recorded the show is Gunner Olszewski’s season-ending injury.

Before the injury, Gunner’s biggest value came on special teams as a return specialist. With him now out for the season, I think Braxton Berrios slides right into that role while also giving the Giants depth at wide receiver.

Special teams often determine the final roster spots, and Berrios checks that box.

Final Thoughts on the Giants’ Wide Receiver Room

John Harbaugh has made it clear that roster spots are going to be earned, not handed out.

I don’t think this is a deep wide receiver room. I think it’s an unproven one.

There’s talent here, but there are still plenty of questions. Can Malik Nabers get back to full strength? Can Malachi Fields contribute right away? Does Odell Beckham Jr. still have something left? Can Darnell Mooney bounce back? Those are all legitimate questions that won’t be answered until training camp and the preseason.

The good news is the Giants have competition at the position, and that’s something they haven’t always had. By the end of camp, we’ll know if this group exceeded expectations or if wide receiver is still a position that needs to be addressed moving forward.

My Prediction

Final 53

• Malik Nabers
• Odell Beckham Jr.
• Darius Slayton
• Darnell Mooney
• Malachi Fields
• Braxton Berrios

Practice Squad

• Isaiah Hodgins
