After two disappointing seasons, there are two distinctly different tacts taking place in the front offices of the two local football teams right now.
The Giants — after going 11-5 and making the playoffs last season and six years removed from their most recent of four Super Bowl titles — have torn apart their front office and begun rebuilding it with a general manager who made it clear from the moment he burst through the door that he’s here to kick ass and take names.
The Jets — coming off a second consecutive 5-11 season, having not been to the playoffs for the last seven seasons and 48 years removed from their one and only Super Bowl title — have taken a kinder, gentler approach, opting for the status quo and giving Todd Bowles and Mike Maccagnan two-year contract extensions.
