New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen met with retired offensive lineman Chris Snee for several hours last Friday. The two discussed a potential organizational role for Snee — likely as an offensive line or area scout.
It’s a role Snee held with the Jacksonville Jaguars from 2017-2020, but not one he will hold with the Giants.
Following the meeting with Schoen, Snee informed the New York Post that things aren’t going to work out and that there will be no reunion with Big Blue.
“It’s not gonna work out,” Snee said.
That was not for lack of effort, however.
Snee says he watched several hours of film and even compiled a series of reports for Schoen, and felt confident after the meeting was over. Schoen clearly felt differently.
“I thought it went well. It was a great conversation, I left there thinking they wanted me in the building,” Snee said. “I could come in the office, I could watch film there, watch film at home, specifically for that position of need.”
Ultimately, Schoen said that type of role did not exist in Buffalo and he would not be creating it in New York. Accordingly, Snee was shown the door.
“I’d love to help the Giants, I’ve been trying for years,” Snee said. “I want to help this team in so many ways. I played 10 years here, put a lot of heart and blood and sweat here. When they asked me to come in for an interview it was something I wanted to explore. In the end it’s just not going to work out for both sides.”
Snee remains hopeful to land a job with another NFL team, but his dream of returning to the Giants appears to have been squashed.
