GIANTS SQUAD SHOW: Can Giants Win the NFC East? Jaxson Dart's Rise & Offseason Grades

The Giants are nearing training camp, and it's time to evaluate the biggest takeaways from an eventful offseason. What has been the most important development under John Harbaugh, and how much better is this roster compared to a year ago?

With rookies reporting to East Rutherford on July 23 before the team heads to West Virginia on July 28, expectations are beginning to build. Can Jaxson Dart take the next step in his development, and what role could he play in the Giants' future success?

We also examine three reasons the Giants could challenge for their first NFC East title since 2011, break down the best and worst moves made (or not made) this offseason, and discuss what still needs to happen before training camp begins.

Plus, a look ahead to joint practices with the Dolphins and the key storylines that could define the Giants' 2026 season.

Jay Berman, Patricia Traina, and Mark Collins break it all down on the latest edition of the Giants Squad Show.
