John Harbaugh is bringing a few familiar faces to the New York Giants this offseason.

The G-Men bolstered their offensive personnel on Monday afternoon by signing tight end Isaiah Likely to a three-year deal. He had 135 catches for 1,568 yards and 15 touchdowns during his four-year run with the Baltimore Ravens.

In addition to acquiring Likely, the Giants signed former Ravens punter Jordan Stout to a three-year contract. There's no question he'll immediately improve New York's special teams unit.

The Giants wrapped up their spending spree on Monday by signing former Ravens safety Ar'Darius Washington to a one-year contract. Although he missed most of the 2025 season, he proved his value in 2024 by racking up 64 tackles, two interceptions and a fumble.

Ravens fans couldn't wait to go on social media and accuse Harbaugh of "stealing" all their free agents.

"What is this?!?! NY Ravens?! Harbaugh is going make sure whoever was a Raven, Get a GIANT payday in New York," one fan said.

"John doesn’t know ball fr, he doesn’t know how to scout and spot talent, all he knows is familiarity smh," a second fan commented.

"Harbaugh taking a decent amount of Ravens players with him to New York that he couldn’t win enough with in Baltimore," another fan wrote on social media.

"John Harbaugh sabotaged the Ravens last year and you can’t convince me otherwise. Today proved it even more," a Baltimore fan declared.

What will the Giants do in the draft?

Although we're over a month away from the 2026 NFL Draft, the Giants may have a clear target with the No. 5 pick. As of now, their defense is in need of help in the secondary. For what it's worth, Harbaugh has made it known that he's a big fan of Ohio State safety Caleb Downs.

“We favor Hall of Fame safeties, so if we have a chance to draft a potential future Hall of Fame safety in Caleb Downs, that would be just fine with me,” Harbaugh said, via Pro Football Talk. “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.”

It's pretty evident Harbaugh has a lot of power when it comes to the Giants' roster management. We'll see if he gets his wish in the draft.
