Alright, so today I wanna talk about something I was digging into – Joe Schoen’s salary. I mean, the guy’s the GM for the Giants, right? Figured it’d be interesting to see what kinda numbers we’re talking about.
First thing I did was just jump on the web and started googling around. I saw a few things pop up, rumors, speculations, the usual stuff. One thing that caught my eye was this idea that he’s pulling in over $20 million a year. I thought, “Whoa, hold up! Really?”
So, I dug a little deeper. I remembered reading somewhere that Schoen was brought in back in 2022, and he was the first GM the Giants hired in ages who didn’t have any previous connection to the team. That’s kinda cool, right? Fresh blood and all that.
- Started Searching: Initial Google searches on “Joe Schoen Salary”
- Found Rumors: Saw figures floating around, especially the $20M+ mark.
- Cross-Referenced: Checked articles about his hiring in 2022.
Then I tried to find some actual reliable info about GM salaries in general. I mean, finding the exact number for Schoen is tough, these deals are usually kept pretty quiet. But I did see some estimates for General Managers at the New York Giants, placing them anywhere from $77K to $138K a year. Base salary was averaging around $90K. Now, that sounded way off from the $20M rumor. Gotta remember though, that $77K-$138K might be including folks way down the org chart, or maybe is super outdated data.
What I realized, though, is that those numbers are probably just base salary ranges or maybe even outdated info. The real money for a GM probably comes from bonuses, incentives, and all sorts of other stuff that doesn’t get reported publicly. I remember seeing something about how the Eagles, another team that was in the playoffs around the same time as the Giants, had made some serious improvements, even with fewer resources. Made me wonder how Schoen’s doing with the Giants.
Kept digging, tried different search terms, even checked some sports business websites. Couldn’t find a definitive number for Schoen, though. These things are usually under wraps. But I did come across some older articles where Schoen was talking about the draft and not forcing a pick on a quarterback. I thought that was interesting – shows he’s thinking long-term, not just trying to make a splash.
My Conclusion (For Now)
So, here’s where I’m at: I still don’t have a concrete number for Joe Schoen’s exact salary. The $20M figure seems way too high, especially considering the general salary ranges for GMs. But I’m guessing he’s making a pretty penny, especially with the pressure to turn the Giants around. Maybe someday the real number will come out, but for now, it’s all just speculation.
Ultimately, while the exact salary is a mystery, the search was a good reminder that a GM’s job is way more than just drafting players. It’s about building a whole program, making tough decisions, and managing a ton of money. Anyway, that’s my deep dive for today! Hope you found it interesting.
