Report: ‘No indication’ Giants will fire GM Dave Gettleman

New York Giants GM Dave Gettleman appears safe with multiple reports suggesting no changes are imminent in the near future.

Black Monday, staying true to its name, is generally a dark day in the NFL. Here in 2021, it’s been no different with multiple head coaches being handed a pink slip and major changes getting underway for several franchises.

Surprising to some however, things have been remarkably quiet in East Rutherford. And by all accounts, it’s going to remain that way.

Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports that there is “no indication” the New York Giants intend to make a change at general manager, meaning Dave Gettleman is safe for at least one more season.

Garafolo’s report was substantiated by Ralph Vacchiano of SNY, who also reports that Gettleman is expected to remain in place.

Though nothing has been publicly made official, and likely won’t be until Mara has his season-ending press conference in the coming days, all indications are the Giants will be bringing Gettleman back for at least one more season as the team’s general manager. There has been no indication that a change is coming, according to multiple team sources, and several people who know Gettleman believe the 69-year-old is not planning to retire on his own.

The Giants also intend to make Gettleman, who was actively scouting for the team during the college football season and who signed several players to reserve/futures deals on Monday, available to the media later this week.

More often than not, general managers headed out the door aren’t spared on Black Monday and then made available to reporters later in the week. They also aren’t usually afforded the opportunity to hand out contracts and scout for the NFL Draft.

Barring something completely unforeseen, it would appear as if co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch have decided to stick with Gettleman for at least one more year, giving him the opportunity to “finish what he started.”
