2026 Projections
Signed a four-year, $6.37 million contract with the Giants in May of 2023.
Facing competition
Schmitz (finger) may face competition for the center position in 2026, Paul Dottino of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach John Harbaugh's entrance means that nothing is a given on the Giants' roster. The Giants added Lucas Patrick this offseason, and he could be in the mix for the starting center job with a strong offseason program and training camp.
