When Joe Scheon took the reins as general manager of the New York Giants earlier this year, he inherited a roster that was largely top heavy with overpriced veterans and had little salary cap room to reverse the death spiral that his predecessor, Dave Gettleman, sent this franchise in to.
Gettleman’s poor draft decisions, wasted capital and wanton spending in free agency put so many constraints on the club that Schoen could only unwind things by making unpopular and damaging roster decisions.
But he did it. So far, that is.
