Assistant General Manager of the Giants Brandon Brown is interviewing for the Las Vegas Raiders general manager opening.
Assistant General Manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers John Spytek is considered the favorite for the job, but it would be great for Brown and the Giants if he gets the job. The Raiders’ request to interview Brown was first reported by CBS Sports.
Brown, 36, would climb despite his association with the Giants’ past three seasons that have dragged the franchise to a league-worst 3-14 record in 2024, tied with the Titans and Browns.
The Giants would receive a third-round compensatory pick in each of the next two NFL drafts for hiring a minority employee by another club as a head coach or principal football executive.
Brown, who the Giants hired from the Philadelphia Eagles in 2022, would mark the second departure this offseason from Giants general manager Joe Schoen’s inner circle.
Ryan Cowden, executive advisor to Schoen, I just left to join the Patriots and reunite with Mike Vrabel, his former colleague from the Tennessee Titans, as New England’s new number 2 behind executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf.
Cowden comparatively had a cup of coffee with the Giants from June 2023 to January 2025.
He is best known for screaming “Fuck! » in the Giants draft room during a scene from HBO’s Hard Knocks in reaction to the Houston Texans’ selection of corner Kamari Lassiter with pick No. 42.
The Giants badly needed a corner last offseason, but Schoen traded the team’s 39th overall pick at the start of the second round for Edge Rusher Brian Burns.
The Saints took Kool-Aid McKinstry at No. 41. The Texans took Lassiter at No. 42. And the Giants at No. 47 were left with safety Tyler Nubin, who was baptized by fire during a rough rookie season.
Other Giants personnel changes — in addition to Wednesday’s firings of defensive backs coach Jerome Henderson and safeties coach Mike Treier — include defensive assistant Ben Burress heading to South Carolina, manager of strength and conditioning Frank Piraino who follows Vrabel to New England after a year in New York. , and departing Director of Sports Nutrition and Performance Steve Smith, by The Athletic.
