Summary

Schoen Stays

Rumors that Giants executive Joe Schoen would be fired after the 2026 NFL Draft proved false.
The Giants hired NFL executive Dawn Aponte as vice president of football operations and strategy after Giants executive John Harbaugh’s hire.
Giants executive John Harbaugh now serves as chief executive, with both Harbaugh and Schoen reporting to owner John Mara.
The franchise says Schoen still leads scouting while Harbaugh and Aponte handle pro-personnel decisions.

History

Historical Context

In 1998, Ernie Accorsi became the Giants’ GM and secured the franchise’s future by trading the No. 1 overall pick and three other selections in 2004 for Eli Manning. In 2024 owner John Mara extended GM Joe Schoen past 2026 and brought Dawn Aponte and veteran coach John Harbaugh into the front office, mirroring Accorsi’s long-term approach.
