Free agency is also about re-signings, which the Giants proved this offseason. One of the big pieces to come back was Jermaine Eluemunor, providing continuity as a bookend with Andrew Thomas. Eluemunor, who played 1,000+ snaps for the first time in his career in 2025, was set to become an unrestricted free agent.

Eluemunor’s return also marks a reunion with Harbaugh, whose Ravens originally selected him in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He was named to the Pro Football Writers of America All-Rookie Team in his first of two seasons with Baltimore.

“Well, I’m nowhere close to the player I was back then, I can tell you that,” Eluemunor said. “Coach Harbs is the type of guy that’s going to love you hard, but he’s going to coach you harder. And like I said, he’s going to hold you accountable for everything. He’s going to hold you to a certain standard and a certain expectation when you’re practicing out there, the way you carry yourself, the way you represent the franchise, and just the way you are as a person. He wants great players, but he also wants great men and great people, and he’s a big believer in that. I think that’s something he’s done great job of throughout his career and how long I’ve known him.

“As for the player, obviously I wasn’t a good enough player back when I was in Baltimore, that’s why they traded me. But again, standing in front of Harbs and telling him the player I’ve become and the player I’m going to be in the future, it was really cool just to be able to sit in front of him and just see him again and let him see the man I’ve become. Because I was, back when I got drafted, obviously that was almost 10 years ago now, or I guess it will be 10 years ago this season. So, I’ve grown a lot, matured a lot, and coming into my own as a player and as a person, and I’m just really glad that Coach Harbs gets to see that.”

The Giants re-signed three other offensive linemen in Evan Neal, Joshua Ezeudu, and Aaron Stinnie.

Neal, the former seventh overall pick, and Ezeudu, a third-round choice, are motivated to rewrite their stories.

“They haven’t broken through yet, but why can’t they?” Harbaugh said at the NFL Annual League Meeting. “George Bernard Shaw [said] some men see things as they — you ready for this one? Let me make sure I get this right: Some men see things as they are and they ask why. We see things as they aren’t and ask why not. That’s what I kind of say with those two guys. I could have said that better but you get the point, right? Why not? Why not give them an opportunity?”

Harbaugh added: “They came to the office and sat down and laid out a plan and a vision of the type of players they want to be. They showed us what they’re doing to make that happen right now. So let’s give them a shot. Let’s give them an opportunity. They’re talented. They’re tough. They want to be great. They have dreams. They have big dreams. So if they’re going to dream big, I would like them to do it right here in our building and try to realize those dreams with us. We will give them a shot to do that.”

The plan for Neal is to continue his switch from tackle to guard, a process that was derailed with an injury in training camp.

“Evan is still 25,” general manager Joe Schoen said. “He’s a big human being that played at a high level at ‘Bama and played well for us Year 1, and for whatever reason it didn’t work out. At the end of the day, you take 14 offensive linemen to training camp, and with the way the deal is structured, the deal that we got him at, he is motivated. He’s been working hard all offseason. He’s another guy that gets a fresh start with a new staff and in a familiar environment.”

Ezeudu also dealt with an injury last year but still brings versatility with experience at both guard and tackle spots.

“Those types are good to have on the roster,” Schoen said.

Meanwhile, Mbow, a fifth-round choice, gained 324 snaps of experience as a rookie. He made his first career start at right tackle in place of Eluemunor, who missed one game with a pectoral injury, in the middle of the season and then two more at left tackle to end the season.
