Giants' Joe Schoen Won't Give NFLPA Report Card 'Any Validity' After Getting Lowest GM Grade

General manager Joe Schoen isn't concerning himself with the low grades he received from New York Giants players in the NFLPA report card.

Speaking to reporters from Phoenix at the annual league meetings on Monday, Schoen explained that he's "not going to give any validity" to the survey in which his D-plus grade was the lowest of any GM in the league.

"Not really going to talk about the report card," Schoen said. "I'm not going to comment on that. I'm not going to give any validity to it. ... There's a process in the way that they do it. And we're just not going to speak upon it."

When pressed further about the grading process, Schoen pushed back: "Do you know the background on how they come up with that? Is it a scientific survey? Next question. You do your homework."

Even though the NFLPA report cards weren't officially made public, ESPN's Kalyn Kahler obtained the grades for all 32 teams.

Schoen was one of four GMs who didn't receive a "passing" grade of B-minus or better. The others were Duke Tobin (Cincinnati Bengals), Andrew Berry (Cleveland Browns) and Omar Khan (Pittsburgh Steelers).

Khan was given a grade of C-plus, while Tobin and Berry both received a C.

Despite Schoen's low grade, it actually wasn't the worst category for the Giants. Their locker room was graded as a D, while the home field at MetLife Stadium received an F-minus.

Among Giants coaching and front-office personnel from last season, Schoen's grade was tied with defensive coordinator Shane Bowen for the lowest on the team.

Schoen's comments come at a time when his job status has been very much up in the air. He was retained for the 2026 season, but new head coach John Harbaugh reports directly to team owner John Mara.

Both Harbaugh and Schoen downplayed the situation during Harbaugh's introductory press conference, but co-owner Chris Mara has called Harbaugh "the most important cog in the wheel" in terms of personnel decisions.

Schoen's current contract only runs through next season, though Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reported in January he's expected to receive an extension, likely closer to the draft at the end of April.

Since Schoen was hired as general manager in January 2022, the Giants' 22-45-1 record is the sixth-worst in the NFL. They made the playoffs in his first season, defeating the Minnesota Vikings in the wild-card round, but have won just 13 games in three years since then.

One thing working in Schoen's favor is the quality of New York's last two drafts and how it may have set the foundation for future success. Malik Nabers, Abdul Carter, Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo were all selected in the past two years.

On top of that, the Giants also have the No. 5 overall pick in the 2026 draft to add another high-ceiling player into the mix.
