The John Harbaugh Sweepstakes has begun, and there are three leaders in the room looking to snag the hottest name on the head coaching free agent market.
The former Super Bowl-winning coach has something to prove following his dismissal from Baltimore and watching owner Steve Bisciotti crack jokes at the first public press conference since his firing.
On Wednesday, he met with one of those three favorites, the New York Giants, at their facilities. The meeting reportedly had the man they believe is the franchise QB, Jaxson Dart, in attendance, meeting with the head coach who could help him develop over the next half-decade.
The Atlanta Falcons are also seen as a serious contender, having fired Raheem Morris and believing they have a roster ready to contend in a relatively soft NFC South that is up for grabs.

But the next team that Harbaugh will be meeting with is the surprise contender that has slipped into his apparent top trio, the Tennessee Titans.
The Titans boast a new stadium opening, play in one of the fastest-growing economic cities in America, and have a young QB in Cam Ward that their top brass believes can be a league superstar.
Instead of meeting in Nashville, though, they are going to get a little more comfortable with the former Ravens leader. They will meet and have their first formal interview with Harbaugh at his home, per The Athletic's Dianna Russini.
While multiple sources have indicated that nothing is imminent and that Harbaugh is expected to take his time in finding a new home for the first time in two decades, every meeting is important as the leading trio and other franchises jockey for the best position to secure the experienced head coach.
