The Buffalo Bills likely have a vacancy within their organization. It’s near the top.
According to multiple reports on Friday, the New York Giants plan to hire Joe Schoen as their new general manager:
Giants are planning to hire Bills’ asst GM Joe Schoen as their GM, per sources.
They still have to work out a contract, but Giants’ other GM finalists have been told that they’re out. If they work out the deal, Schoen is expected to be the Giants’ next GM.

The news on Schoen’s hiring comes only days after the Giants announced that he had a second interview with the team for the job.
With Schoen heading to New York, now the spotlight shines on Buffalo’s assistant coaches. Both defensive and offensive coordinator, Leslie Frazier and Brian Daboll respectively, have had interviews with other teams this offseason regarding coaching vacancies.
Between those two it’s Daboll that’s more closely connected to the Giants’ vacancies.
Just earlier on Friday, a report stated that GM candidates were specifically being asked for their thoughts on Daboll as a head coach. Such a suggestion makes sound as if the Giants have a large interest in the Bills OC.
On Schoen, he came to the Bills via the Miami Dolphins where he was their player personnel director. Beane made Schoen his first hire when he was appointed to his position in 2017.
