ESPN's Adam Schefter broke the news on Friday morning, reporting that other candidates had been informed “that they’re out,” and that a deal was in the works with Schoen.

Before taking the job with New York, he had been assistant GM in Buffalo for five years, helping the franchise become a true Super Bowl contender. 

Before heading to the Bills, he spent a decade with the Dolphins. He began his NFL career in the Panthers ticket office in 2000, before taking a front office role under Brandon Beane, now the Bills GM, in ‘01. 

A top candidate for the Giants‘ coaching job: Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. With Schoen in the front office, he has to be a name to watch for that job, as is the team's defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier.
