The New York Giants are continuing to build their roster with familiar faces. General manager Joe Schoen took over last offseason after serving as the assistant general manager of the Buffalo Bills from 2017 to 2021. Upon his arrival in New Jersey, Schoen plucked many of his old players from Buffalo.
This offseason, Schoen is continuing to fill out the Giants’ roster with former Bills players, like tight end Tommy Sweeney. The Giants’ tendency to steal players from Buffalo has created some nervousness from Bills GM Brandon Beane.

“Whenever we cut down our practice squad, we know we can lose guys, but particularly with Joe and Brian moving to New York, they knew our players and so you know it’s going to be harder to get guys through the cracks,” Beane told NJ Advance Media at the NFL Owners Meetings.
