The New York Giants and Tennessee Titans are having an intertwined NFL offseason, with coaches and players potentially changing sides between the two teams. Former Giants head coach Brian Daboll is now the Titans' offensive coordinator, while former Titans head coach Brian Callahan is now the Giants' quarterbacks coach and pass game coordinator. Additionally, several free agents from both teams could end up switching teams this offseason.

Why it matters

The crossover between the Giants and Titans highlights the fluid nature of the NFL coaching carousel and the potential for players to follow their former coaches to new teams. It also raises questions about whether the coaches are better suited for their new roles, and how the personnel changes could impact both teams' performance next season.

The details

Former Giants offensive coordinator Brian Daboll is now the Titans' offensive coordinator, where he will work with quarterback Cam Ward, a player the Giants tried to trade up for in the 2025 draft. Meanwhile, former Titans head coach Brian Callahan is now the Giants' quarterbacks coach and pass game coordinator, where he will work with quarterback Jaxson Dart, the player the Giants traded up to select after missing out on Ward. Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson, a former safety, is now the Giants' defensive coordinator, and his experience working with safeties like Brian Dawkins and Ed Reed could benefit the Giants' secondary, including potential draft target Caleb Downs. Several free agents, including Giants right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor, wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson, and cornerback Cor'Dale Flott, could also end up switching teams this offseason.

What they’re saying

“The one thing that always stood out in my mind about Brian Callahan's introductory press conference with the Titans is the point he drove home [about] the importance of his relationship with the quarterback. He wants to be in lock in step with that quarterback every every minute of every day. Off the field, on the field, doesn't matter.”

“Dennard Wilson can't get out there and play for them. He can only coach the guys that are available.”

— Chris Belcher, Host, Bleav in Titans podcast

“I think if if you're looking for a spot in the secondary and you marry that with a Dennard Wilson, former safety, you marry that with that defensive coordinator, I think it's a no-brainer for the Giants.”

— Chris Belcher, Host, Bleav in Titans podcast
