New York Giants GM Joe Schoen is expected to return in 2025.

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen held his annual bye week press conference on Tuesday and answered the questions most attendees wanted to hear answered.

Will he return to GM in 2025?

“Yes.” Schoen spoke quickly and confidently. “I always communicate with the owners. (Director Brian Daboll) I know you keep saying that every time this question comes up. We have a really good relationship with ownership. I have confidence in the plan and the direction we are heading in.”

At the same time, Schoen acknowledged that this season has been disappointing so far.

“Of course we sit here from 2 to 8. “It’s not where we want to be, and no one is happy about it,” he said. And he reminded everyone that there are still seven games left.

But Schoen believes in the plan and the process, and said the team is “not too far away” and “has the players in the building to do this.”

When asked who was responsible for continuing the losing streak, Schoen did not want to give specifics.

“It’s execution,” he said, then reminded everyone that the Giants are 1-5 in one-score games and that their red zone issues (they are last in the league in that category) have hurt the team.

Schoen basically didn’t want to talk much about individual players, but he did praise many of the young players, especially the 2024 draft class.

“I’m excited about the young players we have. As you progress through the build, it can be difficult at times, but you have to get through it to get to the other side. Here are some young pieces. “We are not far away,” he said.

That may be true. The Giants lost six games that could have been considered winnable, including the one-run game Schoen mentioned.

Next year will be his fourth general manager position. To say the heat will be high would be an understatement.
