I would hate to lose him.

Schoen should have been fired and Brown promoted

@Ed Vette and @Brooklyn Dave,

Can you elaborate on why you think so highly of Brown as an assistant GM or GM candidate?

He's well bred from the successful Eagles Organization. I've heard him speak and he's intelligent and has a coaches mentality. He served in every important position of player personnel and scouting. Someone you don't want to lose. Mara should pay him to keep him and expand his title.

No disagreement here that he's well spoken and intelligent. I'm just unsure of what he has actually done in his time here to warrant a major promotion. The fact that he worked for the Eagles at one point isn't enough for me. What exactly has he contributed in the last three years? Schoen worked for the Bills during a very successful period there, during which they went from being awful to being a Super Bowl contender.

In any event, losing Brown and receiving picks is better than him staying and ultimately getting fired, which is more likely than not to happen if the Giants have another rotten season in 2025. It's pretty obvious that Mara will clean house with both hands if the Giants stink it up again. Looking at everything, I'd say that's distinctly possible. Personally, I'd rather get something than nothing. Two third rounders is meaningful.

After 13 years, he's ripe.
