New York Giants headlines for Monday
Good morning, New York Giants fans!
DC Shane Bowen not expected to join Mike Vrabel
According to the New York Post, the Giants expect to retain defensive coordinator Shane Bowen despite his ties to newly-hired New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel.
The Post writes:
The belief, according to sources, is that Bowen wants to remain with the Giants and that Vrabel is thinking of going in a different direction as he assembles his new coaching staff.
Now that Vrabel officially has the job, he could, of course, ask the Giants for permission to speak with Bowen. The Giants could block the interview, if requested, for what would be a lateral move.
The plan at this point is to move forward with Bowen, even though his unit did not distinguish itself amid a 3-14 season — although Bowen’s defense certainly performed better than the offense directed by head coach Brian Daboll.
Daboll wants Bowen to return.

Joe Schoen expected to lose advisor
I’m hearing #Giants personnel advisor Ryan Cowden is expected to be added to the #Patriots personnel mix, but not with a GM title. I believe Eliot Wolf will retain personnel power. However Cowden’s addition to the front office is Vrabel’s preference. Dynamics will be interesting.

“It’s not going to change how I think about my football career and what playing football has meant to me, what playing for the Giants has meant for me and what it’s provided for me,” he said. “To be amongst the best to ever do it would be an unbelievable honor. It truly would. But if it doesn’t happen this year or if it doesn’t ever happen, it’s still not going to change how I feel about the game and about the NFL and about my time as a player.”
