They’re finishing the year as an NFC Cinderella team — but what about the upcoming offseason? Check out the complete list of New York Giants free agents for 2023.
The 2022 NFL season has been quite a ride, and the NFC East proved to be an absolute buzzsaw. It was one of two divisions in the NFL, along with the AFC East, in which all four teams were .500 or better entering Week 18. All told, three of those four made the playoffs — including your New York Football Giants.
After refraining from making too many roster changes last offseason, perhaps the biggest factors contributing to the G-Men’s success this season were getting healthy and overhauling the front office and coaching staff rather than the roster itself. They hired former Bills staffers Joe Schoen as general manager and Brian Daboll as head coach, the latter of whom should be under heavy consideration for NFL Coach of the Year.
“I’ve been impressed with coach [Brian] Daboll,” Giants legend Eli Manning told Boardroom. “I’ve been impressed with the whole team, how they’re playing together — not shooting themselves in the foot, not pressing at certain times. Just staying patient and waiting for the right opportunities to strike… and again, closing games out.”
Saquon Barkley has proven he’s one of the best backs in the game. Daniel Jones is showing that he can be a starting QB on a winning club. And overall, the Giants are on track for a bright future, regardless of what happens in the postseason.
That brings us to what the upcoming NFL offseason looks like for Big Blue — and how the team can preserve homegrown talent. Let’s explore the full rundown of 2023 New York Giants free agents.
