Giants Back Up the Brinks Truck for Harbaugh? NFL Rumor Mill Goes Wild

Well now, grab a lawn chair and a cold drink, cause the NFL rumor mill is spinnin’ faster than a mud tire on ice.

According to reports floatin’ around the league, the John Harbaugh could be lookin’ at a mighty tempting offer from the New York Giants. We’re talkin’ real money and real power. The kind that makes owners sweat and fans start arguin’ on Facebook.

Sources claim the Giants might be willin’ to give Harbaugh close to $20 million a year, along with serious say-so over the roster and possibly even who’s sittin’ in the general manager’s chair. That ain’t your average “here’s the playbook, coach” deal. That’s more like “here’s the keys, don’t scratch the paint.”

Now let’s slow the tractor down for a second.

While FOX Sports and other outlets say the Giants are open to giving Harbaugh just about whatever he wants, none of this is officially locked in. No contract. No handshake photo. No press conference with awkward smiles. Just heavy-duty negotiations and a whole lotta league chatter.

What is confirmed is this:

• Harbaugh has met with the Giants.

• The Giants are serious about landing a proven winner.

• Harbaugh is in a position of power, sittin’ pretty after years of success with the Baltimore Ravens.

And let’s be honest, the Giants ain’t been exactly lightin’ up the scoreboard lately. When a franchise is desperate, they don’t shop at the bargain bin. They go big or they go home mad.

So is Harbaugh packin’ his bags for New York? Nobody knows yet. Could this all blow over and he stays put in Baltimore? Sure could. But one thing’s certain: the Giants are swingin’ for the fences, and the rest of the league is watchin’ with popcorn in hand.

Stay tuned, cause this ain’t over. Not even close.
