"We are pleased and proud to name Joe as our general manager," Giants co-owner John Mara said in a statement. "Throughout our search, Joe impressed us with his ability to communicate a progressive and comprehensive vision for our team.  His philosophy and collaborative approach to building a roster and coaching staff align with what we were looking for in a general manager."

Schoen had been the assistant GM in Buffalo for the last five seasons. He had a helping hand in reshaping the organization and taking it from a team that barely made the playoffs into a conference title contender. The Bills made the playoffs four out of the last five seasons.

"Joe is the kind of exceptional leader we sought to oversee our football operations," Giants co-owner Steve Tisch added. "We will do whatever it takes to support Joe’s vision and strategic plan for success. We are excited to begin this next chapter with Joe as our general manager."
