Giants beat reporter and colonist for the New York Daily News, Pat Leonard, wrote a story this week talking about the toxic environment within the organization. Leonard explained why he wrote the story on the most recent episode of his podcast Talkin Ball with Pat Leonard.

"This is about the Giants as a process, which is still broken and viewed as broken," said Leonard. "There are still people in the building, and one staffer advised a coach calling about a vacancy and said not to come here because the environment has a toxicity to it."

The franchised regressed in the second year under the leadership of Brain Daboll. The team went 6-11 and missed the playoffs after being 9-7 and winning a playoff game the previous season. The direction of the New York Giants is unknown now that fans know there is clearly tension between the head coach and general manager. Star player Saquon Barkley will once again be a free agent this offseason, and questions about the legitimacy of Daniel Jones as a franchise quarterback will be a topic of conversation.
