According to multiple reports, the New York Giants are currently slotting Dave Gettleman as the man most likely to take over as the National Football League franchise's new general manager.

This is according to both Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.

“Gettleman was the Giants’ pro personnel director from 1999 to 2012, before leaving to become the Panthers’ general manager,” Schefter wrote. “The Panthers fired him on the eve of training camp in July. The Giants still think highly of Gettleman. Many around the league believe he is the favorite to land the job, but the Giants would like to speak with others, as their scheduled interview with [John] Dorsey indicated.”

“Co-owners Mara and Steve Tisch almost always hire individuals with ties to the organization, and Gettleman has that,” Rapoport wrote. “He was the Pro Personnel Director and the Senior Pro Personnel Analyst with the Giants until Carolina hired him away in 2013.”
