Joe Schoen, the Assistant GM of the Buffalo Bills, has earned a promotion. He’s heading downstate to be the next general manager of the New York Giants, according to a report from Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafalo of NFL Network. The duo say that, while both sides are working on deal specifics, Schoen is the choice for John Mara’s team.
Schoen brings a fresh face to a Giants franchise that desperately needed new thinking. Dave Gettleman’s tenure as GM was a disaster, with the team registering an NFL-worst 19-46 record in the past four seasons.
