The New York Giants have a lot of work ahead of them this off-season to beef up both sides of the ball, a process that will commence with trying to re-sign key free agents such as quarterback Daniel Jones, running back Saquon Barkley, safety Julian Love and defensive end/outside linebacker Jihad Ward, to name a few.

After having a month to go through the roster and formulate a plan, it will be interesting to see how things unfold for general manager rJoe Schoen, head coach Brian Daboll and the rest of those who will be involved in refining the roster so that it's closer to being a Super Bowl contender.

And speaking of Super Bowl contenders, Fan Duel is out with some early odds regarding each NFL team's chance of winning next year's Super Bowl. The popular sportsbook site has the Giants 20th (+4000) behind obvious favorites like the Chiefs (this year's winner), Bills, Eagles, Bengals, 49ers, and Cowboys.

Obviously, those odds will change as teams gain and lose players and coaches, but one thing the Giants appear to have in their favor, at least at this point, is that their coaching staff should be returning intact. The Colts are reportedly set to hire Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen, meaning that Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka and defensive coordinator Wink Martindale have both been eliminated from consideration.

Kafka is still reportedly in the mix for the Cardinals head coaching job. Still, Arizona is reportedly interested in speaking with Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon for the vacancy, which will reportedly be filled at some point this week.

Aside from the coaching staff and their free agents, the Giants need to add talent on both sides of the ball to help close the gap between them and some of their potential playoff competition. Among the priorities, the Giants are likely to address include linebacker, receiver, offensive line, cornerback, and defensive line.

The Giants are also likely to try extending some of their own talent, such as defensive linemen Dexter Lawrence and Leonard Williams, left tackle Andrew Thomas, and safety Xavier McKinney, just to name a few.
