New York Giants hire Dave Gettleman as new GM

Dave Gettleman

The New York Giants on Thursday announced that Dave Gettleman has been hired as the team’s new GM.

Gettleman is a familiar face for the organization, as he served as a personnel executive for the Giants for 15 years before becoming the Carolina Panthers’ GM.

The Panthers were successful during Gettleman’s four seasons as team GM. They went 40-23-1 from 2013-2016 under him. However, Gettleman was not exactly Mr. Popular as he was criticized by some former players for the way he handled their departures. Gettleman notoriously led to Steve Smith’s departure from the team.

Gettleman was one of four to interview for the Giants GM job. The team says interim GM Kevin Abrams, Giants VP of Player Evaluation, Marc Ross, and ESPN analyst Louis Riddick were the other candidates.
