The New York Giants were in need of a hard reset after a disastrous few seasons. They fired head coach Brian Daboll during the 2025 season and replaced him with John Harbaugh in the offseason, but the changes didn’t go all the way up the food chain.
General manager Joe Schoen was retained, despite many fans thinking that he should also go along with Daboll. Now, the Giants are committing to Schoen long-term. New York has signed the 46-year old to a multi-year contract extension, per NFL insider Mike Garafolo.
“The Giants have signed GM Joe Schoen to a multi-year contract extension, securing his future alongside new HC John Harbaugh, sources tell me and @RapSheet,” Garafolo reported on X, formerly Twitter.
Schoen has taken some heat for some of his moves in the past, namely the Daniel Jones contract extension and the decision to let Saquon Barkley walk in free agency. Kayvon Thibodeaux, Evan Neal and Deonte Banks all have not lived up to their first-round draft status, which also made his seat hot in recent years.
However, he has made some strong moves in the last few seasons that have clearly restored the franchise’s faith in him. Malik Nabers and Abdul Carter both look like home-run draft picks, and Jaxson Dart has showed promise that he can potentially be a franchise quarterback in the Big Apple. Schoen also flipped disgruntled defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals for a top-10 pick, which is a big return for someone who needed a massive contract extension anyway.
Of course, the pressure will be on for the Giants to win on the field. New York has had what are perceived to be a couple of strong drafts, and it made a home-run coaching hire with John Harbaugh. However, if those young players don’t pan out and the Giants continue to lag behind the likes of the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East, noise around Schoen’s job security will surely start to bubble back up.
