Giants are hiring Ryan Cowden for a front office role per
@rydunleavy
He was the VP of player personnel for the Titans since 2018. Tight with Joe Schoen after their time with the Panthers.
He also interviewed for Giants GM in 2022.
Quote:
has not interfered at all since hiring Schoen. He's letting him bring in whoever he wants and letting restructure as he sees fit. All the handwringing about Mara can end.
And you know this how?
Yes, absolutely. But did he, under the DG Admin.? There was so much criticism, e.g., of Chris Petit, never mind DG, yet it took a clean sweep to get rid of rotting timber and bad apples. Was Mara not glued in or was it complacency or something else? Hard to credit the idea that Petit's toxicity (and incompetence?) were secrets around the league, Schoen axed him as soon as feasible.
(Marty, btw, on your rec, we took to the road to get to Kingston and Le Canard Enchainée, good meal, good fun, for our Anniversary, thanks)

The Giants are adding ex-Titans executive Ryan Cowden to their front office likely as executive advisor to the general manager.
Cowden is a well-respected evaluator. He’s especially close with Giants GM Joe Schoen. Came up together w/Panthers + were in each others weddings
(2) I don't hate Mara. But based on a hong history of horrific decision-making, I don't trust his instincts.
(3) The only thing I am on record as stating in the past year about him with conviction is that he should stop commenting on personnel matters in public. I still stand by that. His father, who was the actual GM at one point for the team, didn't publicly walk on George Young's or Ernie Accorsi's coattails.

The Dwight Schrute-ian title has me thinking Cowden is still getting paid by Tennessee so Giants likely getting him at a discount for this role

Eric --he knows the exact same way you know all the negative stuff you have alleged/assumed/implied. Your Mara hate has become almost comical. Blaming for the bad is fine, we were terrible forever, but then give credit for the good. Inconsistency comes off as petty.
Mara’s the owner. He can do what he wants..He’s allowed to be a fan as well, just as Dad and his Dad before him..He’s left Schoen and Dabes alone

Sure. But just so you understand that he is responsible for 10 years of shit football. Bad decision making is directly responsible for bad football.

Bang! Joe Schoen and the #Giants add another great mind to the front office. All of a sudden the Giants FO has become one of the best in the NFL. Cowden one of the best dudes available is now off the board and headed to NY to join his good buddy Joe Schoen. #NFL #NYGiants
Abrams may retain legitimate ops and admin responsibilities within the front office, but he is not in Schoen's "pecking order" at all, from what I can tell. And I can't imagine that Cowden would come to the Giants if he were going to be too far down the chain, considering he was a viable GM candidate 18 months ago.

Truly a day of firsts, Eric! When has ANYONE pronounced the Giants FO one of the best in the NFL?
I believe Abrams got a shout out from Schoen when discussing the Jones deal.
Quote:
that Schoen keeps mentioning are Hickey, Brown, Rossetti, McDonnell. I don't think Abrams is that tier, but I may be wrong.

Because he's involved in contract discussions. But I can't recall him being mentioned in the scouting process (pro or collegiate).
What movie is that from? My mind is blanking
