Travis Kelce is still weighing whether to return for another championship run with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> or choose retirement. After another demanding year, the legend has remained noncommittal, but the organization continues to make it clear how valuable he remains to the offense and locker room leadership.



NFL insider Ian Rapoport recently shed light on the team’s position and the financial realities tied to a potential return for Kelce. “It’s pretty clear that the Chiefs would like Travis Kelce back. There are some things they have to work out with some cap space. They need to clear some space. Keep an eye on Jawaan Taylor as a potential cap casualty to create some space. This is the first time that general manager Brett Veach seems to keep it open ended. They want him back, but they want to respect Travis Kelce’s decision.”



Kelce’s potential comeback would carry enormous implications for the Chiefs’ <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> aspirations. Even in the later stages of his career, he remains a trusted target for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses.



<h2>Travis Kelce: NY Giants rumors for 2026</h2>



A few days ago, Craig Carton sparked a somewhat far-fetched rumor about the possibility that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-rumors-travis-kelce-could-leave-chiefs-to-join-ny-giants-in-2026">Travis Kelce could leave the Chiefs to join the NY Giants in 2026</a>. However, considering the latest report by Rapoport, everything points to there being no other option than Mahomes’ team.


 

 


“We really did not get any indication of, ok, he’s definitely coming back and we just need to work out a deal. They would like to work out a deal, they would like to have him back, but they also want to make sure that if Kelce returns, he’s fully 100 per cent committed. He played great last year. He knows he can do it.”



The interesting thing about the situation is that Travis Kelce has great potential to keep making money off the field and that, in the coming months, the player is getting married to Taylor Swift. “Also, he has significant opportunities off the field to make a ton of money and that factors into it.”

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Giants</a> have the fifth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Given that there are just two months from now to the draft, teams are already scouting at their best to define who they will take. New head coach John Harbaugh provided a huge update on who the G-Men might take.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Harbaugh</a> appeared on The Mike Francesca Podcast and revealed key nuggets of information. “We favor Hall of Fame safeties, so if we have&nbsp;a chance to draft&nbsp;a potential future Hall of Fame safety in Caleb Downs, that would be just fine with me,”&nbsp;he said.



Harbaugh also made clear what the modus operandi will be on the 2026 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Draft. “We’ll take the best player. When you draft that high, you take the best player. It’s not a need pick, it’s a best player pick because you’re going for the guy that’s going to be that kind of player. You’re talking about a player that you would like to see someday wearing a gold jacket if possible.”



<h2>Caleb Downs sure looks like a certified star</h2>



Famous NFL Draft Analyst, Todd McShay, said he considers Ohio State safety Caleb Downs a “Sheriff” for the Giants defense. Russell Clay of Fantasy Guru Site also spoke highly of Downs, “If you don’t want a safety that will be the backbone of your defense for a decade + fine, but stop the narrative that Downs is a limited or low ceiling prospect. You’re drafting the leader of your defense.“



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Caleb Downs taking on the pulling center and making a tackle. That’s the good stuff <a href="https://t.co/BYCF9rgprM">pic.twitter.com/BYCF9rgprM</a>— Ted Nguyen (@FB_FilmAnalysis) <a href="https://twitter.com/FB_FilmAnalysis/status/2022732039305465934?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 14, 2026</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



Caleb Downs’ father was Gary Downs Jr. Hence, he has the Giants in his blood as Gary Downs played for the G-Men inn 1996. Downs is regarded as a generational talent. He has a top-tier IQ for the game, he is versatile, and has great coverage skills.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-rumors-travis-kelce-could-leave-chiefs-to-join-ny-giants-in-2026"></div>


<h2>Caleb Downs has other suitors</h2>



If the Giants don’t take him with the fifth overall pick, they won’t get him. Why? It’s rumored the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cincinnati Bengals</a> are looking very closely at Downs. The Bengals have the 10th overall pick so if the Giants skip them, they will miss him altogether.



As Harbaugh said, it’s the best player available, and it seems like they have a clear mind: the best player is Caleb Downs. Taking into consideration that the Giants have a talented front-seven, and the offense has a great backbone with Jaxson Dart at quarterback, Cam Skattebo at running back, and Malik Nabers at wideout, the secondary takes center stage. Hence, Downs is even more of a lock to get picked by the Giants.

Rumors about the future of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-kelce">Travis Kelce</a> continue to swirl as the offseason approaches, especially with ongoing speculation about whether the veteran tight end could consider retirement. After another demanding season with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>, questions have surfaced about how much longer Kelce wants to continue playing and if the tight end might seek a different environment if he does return.



Kelce has become a legend in Kansas City, helping define an era alongside <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and head coach Andy Reid. Because of that legacy, the idea of him finishing his career elsewhere has often been dismissed as unlikely. Still, the NFL offseason is known for producing unexpected twists.



That backdrop has fueled discussion across sports media, but one recent rumor has stood out for how far it strays from conventional expectations. The suggestion that Kelce might leave a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> contender to join a rebuilding franchise has drawn skepticism, yet it has not stopped the conversation from spreading.



<h2>Could Travis Kelce really join the NY Giants?</h2>



The speculation about Travis Kelce going to the NY Giants gained traction after comments from Craig Carton, who framed the idea as a rumor rather than confirmed reporting.


 

 


Carton said: “The rumor is that Travis Kelce is not going to retire. That he wants to come back for another year, but he doesn’t want to come back to Kansas City. I saw a story that Travis Kelce wants to come back and wants to play for the New York Giants. That way, he and his wife can live in New York City. She goes to every game. She does not have a tour planned for next season. Kelce can be in the biggest media market in America. It’s just a rumor. Do not sleep on the New York Giants signing Travis Kelce this offseason.”



The notion of Kelce leaving Kansas City for the Giants would represent a dramatic shift. While New York offers unmatched media exposure and commercial opportunities as a city, the Giants are in a different competitive phase than the Chiefs, who remain annual Super Bowl contenders.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/chiefs-and-andy-reid-face-a-huge-problem-to-bring-back-travis-kelce-in-2026"></div>


For now, the idea remains highly speculative and widely viewed as far-fetched. Kelce’s decision will likely hinge on his physical readiness, motivation to continue competing for championships, and personal priorities alongside <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/taylor-swift">Taylor Swift</a>. Until he speaks publicly about his plans, the possibility of a move to New York sits firmly in the realm of offseason rumor rather than realistic expectation.

Next NFL season will feature several players who have been in the league for years as professionals. Among them is veteran <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jameis-winston">Jameis Winston</a>, currently on the New York Giants roster, who made a notable comment regarding his future.



Since 2015, Winston reached the pinnacle of football after being selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the first overall pick in the draft. From there, he has built a long career, and retirement still seems like a distant idea for him.



In a recent appearance on a new episode of Pardon My Take, Winston spoke about his future in the league, making it clear that he would like to play many more years as a professional athlete.



“I would love to play 12 years, right? And that’s just 12,” the experienced quarterback said. Will he stay in the Big Apple defending the Giants throughout this time, or will he seek new horizons that allow him to extend his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> career even further?



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/18121923/jameis-winston-3-1920x1080.webp" alt="Jameis Winston" class="wp-image-582156"></figure><figcaption>Jameis Winston #19 of the New York Giants.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>An experienced back for Dart</h2>



With Russell Wilson entering the 2026 NFL free agency after a difficult stint in New York, it is highly probable the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a> will move on from the veteran quarterback. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jaxson-dart-reached-out-to-patrick-mahomes-travis-kelce-as-ny-giants-made-bold-decision-for-2026"></div>


After being demoted to third-string behind rookie Jaxson Dart, Wilson is expected to seek a fresh start elsewhere, clearing the path for Jameis Winston—who remains under contract for another year—to serve as the primary backup and mentor to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jaxson-dart">Dart</a>. 



Winston remains confident in his physical longevity, famously stating, “In terms of my arm, like, I’m blessed. Like, I’m really grateful,” signaling his readiness to provide the Giants with stable veteran depth as they build around their young starter.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Giants</a> want to make some noise next season, and they are moving accordingly. After bringing in John Harbaugh as the head coach, they’ve been doing plenty of moves on the roster and coaching staff. Now, they are setting their sights on a Super Bowl champion for the 2026 NFL season.



The 2026 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> free agency frenzy officially starts on March 11 at 4:00 p.m. ET, but expect the rumors to fly two days early when the legal tampering period opens on March 9. According to FOX Sports, the Giants will address their secondary needs by trying to sign defensive back CJ Gardner-Johnson. 



Gardner-Johnson won the Super Bowl with the Eagles in 2024. Last year, he played for both the Texans and the Bears. He was a key part of the Bears who made it all the way to the NFC Divisional Round.



<h2>Gardner-Johnson is a difference-maker</h2>



While he doesn’t have the individual accolades like All Pros or Pro Bowls, Gardner-Johnson is an excellent player. He has led the NFL in interceptions (2022), he is a versatile player, and he provides decent pass coverage and a wealth of experience. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/17140543/cj-gardnah-johnson-1920x1080.webp" alt=" C.J. Gardner-Johnson #8 " class="wp-image-581501"></figure><figcaption> C.J. Gardner-Johnson #8 </figcaption></figure>



For the Giants, who ranked 16th in passing yards allowed last season, Gardner Johnson would be massively helpful. Gardner-Johnson would also be a cheap, proven option for the Giants.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/ny-giants-hc-john-harbaugh-makes-blunt-statement-about-his-new-oc-matt-nagy"></div>


<h2>The Giants have cap space issues</h2>



New York is not precisely with open bags right now. The Giants have only $7 million to work with. So, if they want to bring new pople, they need to make some moves prior. It will be a game of chess for the Giants front office.

The New York Giants knew they needed a course correction to change their trajectory in the NFL, and that’s exactly what they did. Recognizing the talent already on their roster, they brought in John Harbaugh as their new head coach, who added multi-champion <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matt-nagy">Matt Nagy</a> to his staff.



The confidence placed in the former Chiefs offensive coordinator is significant—so much so that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh">Harbaugh</a> himself, in recent statements to the press, referred to Nagy as one of the best at his position in the league.



“I expect Matt to be the best ever. I’m hoping he’ll be the best offensive coordinator to ever coach the game; that’s what we’re shooting for,” the former Ravens coach said to the press.



<h2>Getting back to the Super Bowl</h2>



Harbaugh’s arrival in the Big Apple is no coincidence: the experienced coach already knows what it takes to lift a Vince Lombardi Trophy and aims to do it again with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a>. In fact, the head coach himself expressed excitement just at the thought of celebrating.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/24172110/John-Harbaugh-head-coach-of-the-New-York-Giants-1920x1080.webp" alt="John Harbaugh, head coach of the New York Giants" class="wp-image-568087"></figure><figcaption>John Harbaugh, head coach of the New York Giants</figcaption></figure>



“I’ve heard people say the parade in New York is the most incredible thing ever,” Harbaugh told Ian O’Connor of The Athletic. “Coach (Tom) Coughlin told me that, and I have a vision, like, ‘Wow, I want it. I want to see that. I want to be in that parade.’


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/ny-giants-hc-john-harbaugh-issues-major-revelation-about-the-assembly-of-his-coaching-staff"></div>


“But with that being said, what I’m thinking about is what the team looks like that earns the right to be in that parade someday. What do we have to build to get there? That’s really what I’m consumed with.”

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-sehawks">Seattle Seahawks</a> captured the 2026 Super Bowl title, and as often happens after a championship run, roster changes are already underway. One of those moves involves Courtney Jackson, who is now set to join the New York Giants, though not as a projected starter. Still, the opportunity could provide him with a legitimate path toward eventually making his professional debut.



The report comes from Dan Benton of GiantsWire. “The reserve/futures deal secures Jackson’s rights for the 2026 season, allowing the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a> to evaluate him during offseason programs. This low-risk addition addresses receiver depth and bolsters the return game amid broader roster changes,” Benton wrote.



Benton also described Jackson as a player who could offer something unique to the Giants if he develops as expected. “The 5-foot-11, 179-pound receiver provides depth at the position and potential special teams value, particularly as a return specialist.”



<h2>Jackson was truly impressive at Arkansas</h2>



Jackson’s entire college career was strong, but it was his final two years of the six he played, four with Syracuse, during the 2023 and 2024 seasons, where he really proved he was ready for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>, totaling 1,183 yards and 9 touchdowns, with 2023 being his most productive scoring year.

</div></figure>



“This is a feat that’s really hard to get to, and there are many players who played in the National Football League who have never had the opportunity to experience what they’re experiencing,” said Arkansas State coach Butch Jones, referring to Jackson and Mehki Butler, who was with the Patriots last season.

There’s still a long way to go before the Giants make a decision on Jackson, but given his strong college numbers and his experience as a Seahawks practice squad member, he could have a slight edge when it comes to the tryouts he’ll face in New York.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jaxson-dart">Jaxson Dart</a> appears more than ready for the 2026 season with the New York Giants. The young quarterback will not only be adjusting to a new head coach but also to offensive coordinator Matt Nagy. Regarding the new addition to the coaching staff, Dart reached out to Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, who know Nagy well from their time together with the Kansas City Chiefs.



The information about Dart consulting <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Mahomes</a> and Kelce regarding his new offensive coordinator came from an article by Jordan Raanan for ESPN. Raanan detailed that multiple sources confirmed the quarterback had spoken with both Mahomes and the Chiefs’ star tight end.



“Dart, fresh off a rookie season with 24 total touchdowns and seven turnovers, talked on multiple occasions with Mahomes about working with Nagy, according to multiple sources close to the QB. He came away impressed. He also told reporters last week that he spoke with Chiefs tight end <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-kelce">Travis Kelce</a> about his former coordinator and received rave reviews,” Raanan wrote.



<h2>What did Dart ask Mahomes and Kelce?</h2>



It’s unclear exactly what Dart asked, as he did not reveal details of the conversations. However, given that Mahomes and Kelce are offensive players, and Dart plays the same side of the ball, it’s likely he inquired about what to expect from Nagy’s offensive philosophy and how it could shape the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a>’ approach next season.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/15171605/matt-nay-and-patrick-mahomes-1920x1080.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-580537"></figure><figcaption>Patrick Mahomes talks with offensive coordinator Matt Nag on November 04, 2024 in Kansas City. (Jamie Squire/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Dart’s rookie campaign was productive. In addition to his 24 total touchdowns, he recorded 2,272 passing yards, less than half of the 5,097 yards Mahomes threw for in his first season as a starter with Kansas City in 2018. Dart also completed 216 passes with a 63.7% completion rate.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/russell-wilson-chooses-the-best-quarterback-of-all-time-between-patrick-mahomes-and-tom-brady"></div>


Nagy posted a strong track record during his time as offensive coordinator with the Chiefs. In his first five seasons in Kansas City, he helped guide the team to four playoff appearances, including stretches without Mahomes as the full-time starter. In his second stint with the organization, he contributed to back-to-back Super Bowl titles, along with another Super Bowl appearance in 2024, capping another successful four-year run.

A new <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season is about to begin its preparations, and many teams will be looking for redemption after what unfolded last year. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">New York Giants</a> are one of them, and their bold move was naming John Harbaugh as their new head coach.



From that point on, everything began to revolve around who would join the former Baltimore Ravens coach on his staff. Dennard Wilson was appointed as the new defensive coordinator in the Big Apple, despite the latest revelation made by Harbaugh himself to the media.



“I talked to Rex (Ryan) about that job at length,” the experienced head coach and Super Bowl champion told Ian O’Connor of TheAthletic.com. “Rex is a guy I love and have a lot of respect for.”



While the head coach’s remarks caught both insiders and outsiders by surprise, there is still no clear certainty about how real the chances were of Rex Ryan once again becoming a member of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh">Harbaugh</a>’s coaching staff.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/15134656/john-harbaugh-rex-ryan-1920x1080.webp" alt="John Harbaugh with Rex Ryan" class="wp-image-580409"></figure><figcaption>Rex Ryan (R) talks with head coach John Harbaugh.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Two old acquaintances</h2>



From 2008 to 2009, John Harbaugh and Rex Ryan formed a powerhouse coaching duo that defined the Ravens’ identity. While Harbaugh revitalized the culture as the new head coach, Ryan served as his Defensive Coordinator, leading a legendary unit that ranked second in the NFL and propelled Baltimore to an AFC Championship appearance before Ryan departed for the Jets.

Eli Manning and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bill Belichick</a> were both left out of the 2026 Hall of Fame class. While Manning’s omission drew attention, Belichick’s snub was even more shocking — and the former quarterback has now delivered a bold message about it.



Despite winning six <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowls</a>, Belichick failed to gain induction in his first year of eligibility. The decision stunned much of the football world, including <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/eli-manning" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Manning</a>, who believes there may be no one more deserving of a place in Canton than the legendary coach.



“Bill Belichick not making the Hall of Fame is pretty shocking,” Eli Manning told ClutchPoints.com. “You have one of – if not maybe the greatest coach of all time — and what he built there in New England, and the amount of Super Bowls they went to, and AFC championships, let alone just the amount that they won, it was incredible. I can’t imagine a more deserving coach to make it in the Hall of Fame than him.”



<h2>The Hall of Fame could face bigger issues in 2028</h2>



With Manning — a two-time Super Bowl champion — and Belichick — a six-time champion — both missing out in 2026, the Pro Football Hall of Fame will face significant scrutiny moving forward.



Several prominent figures across the NFL, including <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-patrick-mahomes-sends-strong-message-to-nfl-after-bill-belichicks-hall-of-fame-snub" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patrick Mahomes, expressed surprise at Belichick’s omission</a>. Some speculate that lingering controversies from his career — including incidents like Deflategate — may have influenced voters.



However, Belichick’s snub also raises a larger question: What happens in 2028 when <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tom Brady</a> becomes eligible? Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, is widely expected to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. If voters penalized Belichick for past controversies, it could spark debate about whether similar scrutiny would apply to Brady.

Most fans and analysts expect Belichick to be inducted in 2027. But if he were to be passed over again, the Hall of Fame’s credibility would likely face serious criticism — especially with Brady’s first year of eligibility looming in 2028.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> will return for the 2026 NFL season with new faces surrounding Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. Matt Nagy will no longer be running their offense, as next year will see him work under John Harbaugh on the New York Giants.



But Nagy might not be the only one to leave Kansas City for New York in 2026. Wide receiver Tyquan Thornton is among the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/chiefs-2026-free-agents-travis-kelce-and-other-stars-running-out-of-contract-in-kansas-city">Chiefs free agents this offseason</a>, and Nagy’s departure could persuade him to join the offensive coordinator on the Giants.



“I’m just going to say: ‘AAF.’ Matt Nagy knows what I’m talking about. AAF,” Thornton said during a recent appearance on the Talkin’ Ball with Pat Leonard podcast, via Giants Wire. “He’s very aggressive. I love his mindset and what he brings to the table. I’m excited to see what he brings to New York. I love him.”



But Thornton did more than just praising Nagy and wishing him luck in his next adventure. The wideout also mentioned how much he loved playing at MetLife Stadium last season, hinting at a potential interest in playing for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a>.

“It was a great experience to play in New York,” Thornton said. “I remember Coach Reid telling us there’s nothing better to do but in New York on a [Sunday] night. And I remember just going out there and trying to be electric and go out there and light the stadium up. What a great stadium in New York. Love the atmosphere.”



<h2>Thornton’s breakout 2025 season with Chiefs</h2>


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/not-only-matt-nagy-ny-giants-set-to-hire-another-two-time-super-bowl-champion-coach"></div>


Selected 50th overall in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots, Thornton spent two and a half years in Foxborough before landing on the Chiefs’ practice squad.



2025 saw him get a bigger role on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Reid</a>‘s plans, with a standout performance in Week 3. Curiously, that game was against none other than the Giants and in New York. Under the bright lights of MetLife Stadium on Sunday Night Football, Thornton shined by catching five passes from Mahomes for 71 yards, including a touchdown.



Those numbers contributed to the Chiefs’ 22-9 win over the Giants, which sealed Russell Wilson’s time as New York’s starting quarterback to make room for then rookie QB Jaxson Dart.



<h2>Thornton might be a WR to watch in free agency</h2>



Thornton continued thriving in Nagy’s system, becoming a key target for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Mahomes</a> with many Chiefs pass catchers getting injured. Thornton went on to record 19 catches for 438 yards and three touchdowns before a concussion forced him to finish 2025 on season-ending injured reserve.



Thornton’s stock definitely went up last season, and with unrestricted free agency waiting for him in March, chances are that Reid and the Chiefs will face competition to re-sign the fifth-year wide receiver.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matt-nagy">Nagy</a> could give the Giants an advantage in a potential race for the wideout, with Thornton claiming that the former Chiefs offensive coordinator “let my light shine and make plays.”



And while Thornton already made it clear that he likes the Giants, he could make sense for the team as well. With Malik Nabers still facing a lengthy recovery from ACL and meniscus tears and Wan’Dale Robinson entering the open market, Thornton could provide much-needed WR depth at a low price. The interest from the player’s side exists, only time will tell us whether Nagy pushes for a reunion too.

Although many months still remain until the official start of a new <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season, roster and staff moves continue to take place. In this case, Shedeur Sanders’ Cleveland Browns are targeting a coach from the New York Giants, who could miss the chance to work alongside <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh">John Harbaugh.</a>



Insider Mike Garafolo, via his X account, revealed that Giants outside linebackers coach Charlie Bullen is being pursued by the Dawg Pound to potentially serve as Todd Monken’s defensive coordinator.



Bullen, who also served in the Big Apple as interim defensive coordinator, has another suitor apart from Cleveland. Apart from drawing an interview request from the Browns, Bullen has also been linked to the Arizona Cardinals’ defensive coordinator opening.



<h2>How much can Bullen contribute to the Browns?</h2>



Charlie Bullen is a top candidate for the Browns’ defensive coordinator vacancy, potentially bringing a high-pressure, aggressive scheme to Cleveland. After a successful stint as the Giants’ interim DC—where he held opponents to 18 points per game and helped Brian Burns reach a career-high 16.5 sacks—Bullen is seen as a coach who simplifies assignments to let defenders play faster. His ability to maximize elite pass-rushers would make him a perfect fit to lead a unit headlined by Myles Garrett.



<h2>A new era for the Giants</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">New York Giants</a> have officially entered a high-stakes new chapter by hiring Super Bowl-winning coach John Harbaugh to lead the franchise through 2030. Tasked with professionalizing an organization that has struggled for stability, Harbaugh brings a disciplined, “no-rebuild” mentality and a star-studded coaching staff featuring Matt Nagy and Brian Callahan. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/ny-giants-news-and-rumors-john-harbaugh-might-help-jaxson-dart-with-former-matthew-stafford-joe-burrow-coach"></div>


By focusing on the development of young quarterback Jaxson Dart and fostering a physically dominant culture, Harbaugh aims to transform Big Blue from a divisional underdog into an immediate 2026 postseason contender.

Although several long months remain before the start of a new NFL season, preparations are already taking shape. The New York Giants’ main goal is to reach the Super Bowl again, and they are looking to add a new coach to their staff following the arrival of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/matt-nagy">Matt Nagy</a>.



According to a recent report from insider Matt Zenitz on his X account, in the Big Apple they are setting their sights on the AFC South, specifically the Tennessee Titans. The name targeted to join the Giants for this season is Frank Bush.



The coach comes with a long career in the league, and the main goal is to add him to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh">Harbaugh</a>’s staff as the new linebackers coach. He has previously worked with teams such as the Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, and Atlanta Falcons.



<h2>Bush already knows what it’s like to win a Super Bowl</h2>



Frank Bush played a pivotal role in the Denver Broncos’ legendary back-to-back championship run in the late 1990s. Serving as the team’s linebackers coach, Bush was instrumental in developing a disciplined and aggressive defensive unit that helped secure victories in Super Bowl XXXII against the Packers and Super Bowl XXXIII against the Falcons.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/11094622/frank-bush-1920x1080.webp" alt="Frank Bush" class="wp-image-577831"></figure><figcaption>Linebackers coach Frank Bush.</figcaption></figure>



His ability to maximize the talent of stars like Bill Romanowski and John Mobley was a key factor in Denver finally reaching the summit of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>. These consecutive titles cemented Bush’s reputation as a top-tier defensive mind and remain a crowning achievement in his long coaching career.

<h2>Nagy’s rings</h2>



After winning consecutive titles in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> LVII and Super Bowl LVIII as the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator, Matt Nagy has joined the New York Giants to lead their offense. 



Tasked with revitalizing the unit under head coach John Harbaugh, Nagy aims to replicate his championship success by taking over play-calling duties and mentoring young quarterback Jaxson Dart. By bringing his “Kansas City” expertise to East Rutherford, he hopes to transform the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a> into an immediate postseason threat.

Fresh energy is in the air in the Big Apple as the future unfolds. The arrival of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh">John Harbaugh</a> has the New York Giants dreaming of contention in the NFC East, and new faces are expected in the near term. A former coach of Matthew Stafford and Joe Burrow is targeted to join the staff, further boosting the talent of Jaxson Dart.



As they prepare for the upcoming NFL season, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants">Giants</a> don’t want to rest on their laurels. It will be crucial to surround Harbaugh with the best possible support to ensure a coaching staff that meets the demands of the situation.



According to insider Mike Garafolo on his X account, one of the names set to be interviewed to potentially join as the new QB coach is Brian Callahan, former head coach of the Tennessee Titans.



<h2>Experience elevating QBs</h2>



Brian Callahan has established himself as a premier developer of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> quarterbacks, marked by his ability to elevate both established veterans and rising superstars. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/10112136/brian-callahan-joe-burrow-1920x1080.webp" alt="Joe Burrow with Brian Callahan" class="wp-image-577458"></figure><figcaption>Cincinnati Bengals’ Brian Callahan looks on as Joe Burrow.</figcaption></figure>



During his stint as the Detroit Lions’ quarterbacks coach (2016–2017), he was instrumental in Matthew Stafford’s evolution into a more efficient passer; under Callahan’s guidance in 2017, Stafford reached a then-career-high 99.3 passer rating, finishing third in the league in passing yards (4,446) and fourth in touchdowns (29).


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/giants-legend-makes-a-bold-comparison-between-jaxson-dart-patrick-mahomes-and-josh-allen"></div>


Later, as the offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals (2019–2023), Callahan played a pivotal role in the meteoric rise of Joe Burrow. He helped mold Burrow into an elite signal-caller who led the NFL in completion percentage in 2021 and spearheaded a historic run to Super Bowl LVI.



<h2>The confidence placed in Dart</h2>



Although franchises are still in the process of building their rosters and staffs, the Giants have one thing clear: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jaxson-dart">Jaxson Dart</a> is set to be the team’s new leader. After the failed experiment with Russell Wilson, New York is placing its trust in what the former Ole Miss Rebels quarterback can deliver in the upcoming campaign.

NY Giants: Harbaugh might help Dart with former Stafford, Burrow coach

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Giants</a> are going to be a team to watch for the upcoming NFL seasons. With the hiring of John Harbaugh as head coach, many things have changed. One of them involves bringing a familiar face of the new HC to his staff.



According to Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic, Harbaugh is hiring former Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman as senior offensive assistant. Roman will now work closely with newly-hired Giants OC Matt Nagy. Also, he could be involved in the development of quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jaxson-dart" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jaxson Dart</a>.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Harbaugh</a> is a man of old-school manners, so bringing a familiar face like Roman is always going to be welcomed for him. However, Nagy and Roman aren’t precisely a modern duo in terms of NFL offenses. Nagy is not regarded as a creative mind and Roman has always been a more traditional play designer. The NFL has drifted away from that, so it will be something to monitor along the way.



<h2>Roman is a Harbaugh guy through and through</h2>



The Harbaugh tree is shared between John and his brother Jim. For example, the Seahawks HC, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-macdonald" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mike Macdonald</a>, worked for John on the Ravens and for Jim in Michigan. Now, Roman is basically the same case, but on the offensive side. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/31125515/greg-roman-1920x1080.webp" alt="Offensive coordinator Greg Roman of the Baltimore Ravens" class="wp-image-571143"></figure><figcaption>Offensive coordinator Greg Roman of the Baltimore Ravens</figcaption></figure>



Roman first worked under Jim Harbaugh when he was in the San Francisco 49ers. After two years in the Bills, he then found his way to John Harbaugh in 2017. He stayed with him until 2022, before going back to Jim Harbaugh for the last two seasons as the Chargers OC. Now, is back to John once again.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/seahawks-hc-mike-macdonald-considers-former-super-bowl-champion-to-be-his-main-mentor"></div>


<h2>Roman had a bad end with the Chargers</h2>



Despite being loved by the Harbaugh brothers, Roman’s stint with the Chargers ended in a bad way. The team lost 16-3 in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs. Hence, the only points scored were by the special teams, not even Roman’s unit.



That prompted Jim Harbaugh to make a change, while it also left Roman without many OC options. Now, he will take a downgrade, but reuniting with John Harbaugh, with the task of helping this <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-giants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Giants</a> offense reach new heights.
