New York Giants assistant general manager Brandon Brown continues to generate significant interest among teams currently seeking to find a new GM.
Brown has met with the Carolina Panthers and Los Angeles Chargers for their vacant roles, and the Panthers have already circled back.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that Brown had a second GM interview with Carolina earlier this week.
The #Panthers had second interviews this week with multiple general manager candidates, including #Giants assistant GM Brandon Brown and #Eagles assistant GM Alec Halaby, per sources. Carolina’s assistant GM Dan Morgan also is in the mix as the process moves forward.

As Pelissero notes, Philadelphia Eagles assistant general manager Alec Halaby has also earned back-to-back interviews, while in-house candidate Dan Morgan remains in the mix.
Carolina fired general manager Scott Fitterer on Black Monday after a 2-15 regular season. That record normally would have earned the Panthers the top pick in this year’s NFL draft, but Fitterer traded that pick to the Chicago Bears last year for the right to draft Alabama quarterback Bryce Young.
Brown, the Giants’ assistant general manager for the past two seasons under Joe Schoen, has been a rising star in the organization and it’s no surprise that he’s being considered to run an NFL front office.
Before joining the Giants, the 35-year-old Brown worked in the Eagles’ front office since 2017 in various roles.
If Brown is hired by the Panthers (or any other team), the Giants would receive two third-round selections — one in each of the next two drafts.
