Giants' John Harbaugh defends bypassing Titans' Mike Borgonzi
Giants coach John Harbaugh defends contacting the Titans owner directly to facilitate a trade for Jeffery Simmons.
John Harbaugh, head coach of the New York Giants, defended his decision to contact Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk directly to facilitate a trade for Jeffery Simmons. Harbaugh made this revelation during his Week 9 media availability. He said, "I did, I did. I left a message because you re turning over every stone, going to try everything."
Harbaugh emphasized that the Giants are open to any call and that they are not bound by any "secret society oath" that restricts how trades can be handled. While some criticized the move, Harbaugh dismissed the backlash, stating, "We re not in that agreement. We didn t get memoed on that." The decision to bypass general manager Mike Borgonzi and communicate directly with the owner has drawn criticism in the league, but Harbaugh remains unapologetic, leaving the door open for further scrutiny.
