Jordan Raanan says Joe Schoen is not popular with the players.

[MightyGiants]

I normally would dismiss such a report, but it clearly shook up the Giants organization to the point that Carl and Bob talked about it on their latest podcast (arguing GMs are always unpopular because of the nature of his job.


Appearing on the "Talkin' Giants" podcast, ESPN NFL insider Jordan Raanan said players have been unhappy with Schoen, especially regarding the release of popular cornerback Nick McCloud.

"I've talked to plenty of guys in the locker room and those kind of things bother them," Raanan said of the McCloud release, via Giants Wire. "The GM is not that popular in the locker room at all. So, these things do matter."

Raanan revealed tensions initially surfaced in 2023 when Tyrod Taylor lost his quarterback job to Tommy DeVito because of an injury. Schoen had suggested on HBO's "Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the New York Giants" that Taylor would return as the team's backup. However, that didn't happen.

"The funny thing is their misevaluation of [the situation]. If 'Hard Knocks' was true, they really thought Tyrod might come back," Raanan explained. "He wasn't going to come back. He didn't like that he lost his job by injury again and to Tommy DeVito.

"If the front office really thought that, they're completely out of touch."
