The New York Giants have officially hired Carmen Bricillo and here are six things to know about the team’s new offensive line coach.
New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll completed their comprehensive and in-depth one-person search for a new offensive line coach on Thursday.
The team announced that Carmen Bricillo, the only man publicly known to have interviewed for the job, had been hired to replace Bobby Johnson, who was fired on Monday.
Here are six quick things to know about Bricillo.
This week on the Giants Wire Podcast, we discuss the Brian Daboll-Wink Martindale drama, injuries and another lost season for the Giants.
Editor’s note: This podcast was recorded early on Tuesday morning before additional details of the Brian Daboll-Wink Martindale drama came out and before the two sides “mutually parted ways.”
This week on the Giants Wire Podcast, we discuss the humiliating circus drama that is the New York Giants. What went wrong between head coach Brian Daboll and defensive coordinator Wink Martindale? Neither should be immune to criticism.
Daboll’s decision to hold an 8:30 a.m. press conference on Black Monday to avoid answering questions about Martindale was a poor choice that created bad optics.
Martindale’s “24 hours” display in Week 18 was equally as immature.
Also, how are the Giants still among the NFL’s most-injured teams? Is this an issue the organization will ever get a handle on?
Those topics (and more) are discussed in the latest episode of the Giants Wire Podcast, which is hosted by Ryan O’Leary (@RyanO_Leary on X) and joined by site editor Dan Benton (@TheGiantsWire).
The Giants Wire Podcast will air every week during the regular season and occasionally throughout the offseason. You can listen below:

The New York Giants’ 2023 season wasn’t all bad. Despite the drama issues, there are six players who surprised us with their performance.
The 2023 NFL season has come to an end for the New York Giants, who finished with an ugly 6-11 record.
There’s already been a ton of upheaval across the league, and the Giants are no exception. Still, as hard as this season was to watch, it wasn’t all bad. There were some high points, including a handful of wins under a third-string quarterback.
That’s not the only highlight of the season. Despite the turmoil in the front office, there are players on both sides of the ball who surprised us with their performance on the field.
Giants Wire votes on and hands out 2023 season awards, including MVP and Rookie of the Year, for the New York Giants.
The New York Giants finished the 2023 regular season with a record of 6-11 which was a far cry from their playoff appearance (and single playoff win) a year ago.
Despite the regression, there were quite a few bright spots that deserved recognition.
While the NFL announces its official awards at a later date, we’ll be discussing who deserves the MVP, Rookie of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, and Defensive Player of the Year awards for the Giants in 2023.
The New York Giants will have 30 free agents to deal with come March and at least eight of them should be allowed to walk.
The New York Giants have a lot of decisions and work to do this offseason after a disappointing 6-11 season.
They have a slew of players headed for free agency and will have to make decisions on whether to bring them back next season.
Here’s a quick list of players they should let walk.
The New York Giants have wrapped the 2023 regular season. Here are some important dates to monitor heading into an important 2024 offseason.
The New York Giants put a bow on their 2023 season with a 6-11 record. That record earned them the 6th overall selection in the upcoming 2024 NFL draft.
Giants general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll conducted their 2023 postseason press conference on Monday, announcing several coaching changes including the firing of special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey. There is also the pending departure of defensive coordinator Wink Martindale.
Schoen will have many other decisions to make this offseason, including whether or not to draft a quarterback or roll the dice again with Daniel Jones, find a new offensive line coach, and replacements for those well-respected coordinators.
The Giants will have anywhere from $34 to $38 million in salary cap space (depending on which website you choose to believe) to spend on free agents this March and lots of holes they will be seeking to fill.
As a team that has not qualified for the postseason, they have already begun signing players to reserve/future contracts. All 10 players they have added thus far spent time on their practice squad this season.
With the 2023 season in the books, here are some important dates to know heading into the 2024 offseason.
In most recent mocks of the 2024 NFL draft, the New York Giants focus on offensive linemen and receivers as opposed to quarterbacks.
The New York Giants enter the offseason with several pressing needs and even more unanswered questions. They’ll need to address their coaching staff before anything else, but then it’s on to in-house free agents and, ultimately, free agency itself.
What they do during that period will dramatically impact what they do during the 2024 NFL draft. And while the fan consensus is a quarterback in Round 1, that has not been the case in the eyes of most experts.
In several early offseason mock drafts, the Giants actually trend towards offensive linemen and receivers with their first overall pick.
Here’s a round-up of the most recent mock drafts and who they have the Giants selecting.
The 2023 regular season has come to an end and for the New York Giants, these 11 players earned the lowest grades from Pro Football Focus.
The New York Giants finished the 2023 regular season with a record of 6-11, which was a far cry from their surprise playoff appearance a year ago.
Injuries dominated the headlines in East Rutherford beginning all the way back in Week 1 and that trend never relented. Despite an increased effort to remain healthy, the Giants once again finished the year among the NFL’s worst in man games lost.
Because of the injuries, there was a significant shuffling of personnel at almost every position. As a result, multiple players underwhelmed and compiled less-than-stellar grades.
Here’s a look at the 11-lowest-graded Giants played from the 2023 season courtesy of Pro Football Focus.
Note: To quality, a player must have seen a minimum of 300 snaps.

The New York Giants wrapped up the 2023 regular season this past Sunday with a dominating 27-10 upset of the playoff-bound Philadelphia Eagles.
One year removed from a surprise postseason appearance, the Giants regressed significantly and finished with a 6-11 record. Injuries were once again the story in East Rutherford as they both created and compounded the team’s issues.
But not all was negative. Several Giants players stepped up and had career-best seasons or otherwise performed well enough to note.
