New York Giants officially decide on new general manager!

The first step in rebuilding the New York Giants from the National Football League's basement is now complete, as the team has announced that they've officially hired Joe Schoen as their next general manager. The role had been vacated by Dave Gettleman, who retired after four years and a 19-46 record.

"Now, the work begins," Schoen said in a statement. "My immediate focus is to hire a head coach, with who I will work in lockstep with to create a collaborative environment for our football operations."

Schoen was part of the braintrust that's turned the Buffalo Bills into a contender, and he'll be hoping for a similar result with his new team.
