Two members of the Arizona Cardinals front office are reportedly being sought out by the New York Giants for a GM opening.
The Giants have requested permission to interview Cardinals vice president of professional personnel Adrian Wilson for their vacant general manager position, per Fox Sports’ Peter Schrager. In addition, the Giants have also requested to speak with Cardinals vice president of player personnel Quentin Harris about the opening, according to CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones.
The Giants announced on Monday that general manager Dave Gettleman had retired after four seasons on the job. New York was 19-46 in those four seasons and this past season were 4-13.
The departure of Gettleman is a rare one for the Giants, who have only had four general managers since 1979.
