Joe Schoen makes important Giants vow after keeping his job
NY Post
The Giants are finally finished losing games, but there is still ample opportunity for Joe Schoen to throw a Hail Mary.
The general manager vowed not to.
On the day co-owner John Mara announced Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll are returning next season but declined to commit to the regime beyond 2025, Schoen said he will not manage the offseason like someone with a job to save.
“I’m not going to do a Hail Mary for self-preservation or anything like that,” Schoen said. “We have a plan in place that we believe in, and we’re going to stick with that.”
It would be the natural human inclination for Schoen to spend big in free agency and mortgage future draft capital in order to buy victories and show short-term progress — especially with a franchise-sized hole at quarterback.
Schoen’s predecessors, Jerry Reese (2016) and Dave Gettleman (2021), took big swings when they were on the hot seat and — while Reese’s produced a playoff berth — both sprees harmed the salary cap in later years.
