Giants roster bubble breakdown: Odell Beckham Jr., third QB question and draft busts hanging on - New York Post

What the report says

The New York Post reported that the Giants’ upcoming roster cutdown may leave fewer true competitions than the usual “roster bubble” framing suggests. The article says the team must reduce from 91 players to 53 before the regular season, and it frames the process around a new regime led by John Harbaugh, who is described as having final roster authority.

Odell Beckham Jr. is presented as one of the notable names trying to earn a place after beginning his bid during OTAs in June. The Post also highlights the quarterback room, saying Jaxson Dart is viewed as secure regardless of training-camp mistakes, while the “third QB” question remains part of the broader roster math. Brandon Allen is shown in the article’s camp context alongside Dart.

Several other positions are portrayed as more unsettled. The Post notes that Brian Burns returns to lead a strong pass rush after a 16.5-sack season in 2025, while Tyrone Tracy Jr. is cited with a 4.3-yard rushing average across 32 Giants games. At cornerback, Paulson Adebo is described as penciled in as a starter, with the opposite spot still unresolved and Deonte Banks entering camp on the bubble. Evan Neal is also singled out after working with the third-team offense during spring practices.

The significance is the Giants’ evaluation of inherited contracts, recent draft investments and depth pieces before final cuts. As reported by the Post, the headline names may attract attention, but the central issue is how many roster jobs are genuinely available once core players and likely locks are accounted for.
