Giants head coach John Harbaugh is reported to have contacted the Tennessee Titans’ owner directly in an attempt to work out a trade for All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons. New York Post frames it as Harbaugh “talking to” the Titans’ ownership, tying the move to a broader push to improve the Giants roster.
Other reports from Yahoo Sports add that Harbaugh’s effort involved bypassing Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi during the trade attempt. Yahoo Sports - NFL places the pursuit in context of the Giants seeking defensive tackle help ahead of the NFL trade deadline and describes Harbaugh as active in the negotiations.
While the outlets differ slightly in the emphasis—whether the key detail is Harbaugh’s direct owner contact or the act of bypassing the GM—they converge on the same core storyline: a trade attempt for Jeffery Simmons involving Harbaugh reaching beyond normal channels.
