New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen is sticking around, despite a series of losing seasons. The Giants announced Thursday that the team and Schoen have agreed to terms on a multi-year extension.
Schoen will now work alongside new Giants head coach John Harbaugh, who was hired by the team in January, for the long-term future.

Though there was some questions as to whether Harbaugh would bring in a different GM after arriving in East Rutherford, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported Thursday that Schoen and Harbaugh have hit it off. That partnership sparked discussions over Schoen’s extension over the past few weeks.
Schoen, 46, was hired by New York ahead of the 2022 season. In his first year, he led the Giants to the playoffs. However, in the three years since, the franchise has gone 13-38.
In January, after the third straight losing season with Schoen at the helm, Giants owners John Mara and Steve Tisch confirmed that Schoen would stay on as GM despite the disappointment, saying in a statement that “continuity and stability in the front office is important to our progress.”

The Giants had fired head coach Brian Daboll partway through the 4-13 season, following a 2-8 in November. Harbaugh was then hired in January, 10 days after the Giants owners said that Schoen would be staying.
So far this offseason, Schoen and the Giants have gotten the Harbaugh era off to good start. The team has signed multiple key free agents, including a three-year deal for tight end and top free agent Isaiah Likely. Schoen also performed well at the 2026 NFL Draft, using the team’s two first-round picks to pick up edge rusher Arvell Reese in a steal at No. 5 overall and take offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa at No. 10.
