After several months of questions about his future in New York, Giants general manager Joe Schoen will remain in his current position for the foreseeable future.
The Giants and Shoen agreed to a multi-year contract extension, the team announced Thursday. Details about the length of his contract have not yet been made public.
New York’s endorsement of Schoen came four months after the Giants cleaned house and finally hired John Harbaugh as head coach. While Schoen was part of the management that landed Harbaugh, who spent 18 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, including winning the Super Bowl in 2012, there was some speculation that New York could let him go. Now, Schoen is set to work alongside the Super Bowl-winning coach for the foreseeable future.
Schoen’s tenure in New York has come under scrutiny for his decision to allow running back Saquon Barkley to leave in free agency during the 2024 offseason. Barkley proceeded to sign with the Giants’ rival, the Philadelphia Eagles, where he had a career year, rushing for 2,005 yards and 13 touchdowns, while helping them win Super Bowl LIX.
In coordination with letting Barkley go, the Giants signed quarterback Daniel Jones to a four-year, $160 million contract in 2023. New York then went 9-25 over the next two seasons before releasing Jones, who joined the Minnesota Vikings and eventually signed with the Indianapolis Colts last season, nearly helping them make the playoffs.
Schoen has also helped make other impactful decisions. The Giants traded the No. 39 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft for star running back Brian Burns, who had 16.5 sacks last season. During the 2025 NFL Draft, he and the Giants decided to trade up to the 25th pick to select quarterback Jaxson Dart. Then, four days before the 2026 NFL Draft, New York traded veteran defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals for the No. 10 overall pick, which was used to select offensive lineman Francis Mauigoa.
After signing this extension, Schoen will not only have the opportunity to work with Harbaugh, the coach he helped hire, but will also oversee the young core he helped form. The Giants’ core includes promising players such as Dart, Mauigoa, wide receiver Malik Nabers, running back Cameron Skattebo and linebackers Arvell Reese and Abdul Carter.
