Report: Giants are expected to give five-year $100 million deal to John Harbaugh
Our Summary
The New York Giants are reportedly set to hire John Harbaugh as their head coach, with a contract valued at $20 million per year over five years, totaling $100 million. This deal signifies a significant shift in NFL coaching salaries, contrasting with past agreements such as Jon Gruden's $100 million contract with the Raiders. The agreement underscores Harbaugh's leverage in the market, though he reportedly prioritized finding the right team fit over maximizing financial gain. The lack of a salary cap for coaches allows teams to potentially provide additional compensation through related companies, though specifics are often undisclosed due to the absence of transparency in coaching contracts.
