New York Giants assistant general manager Brandon Brown, who recently interviewed for the vacant GM position with the Jaguars, has not been selected as a finalist. Brown, a former executive with the Eagles, has faced tough competition in multiple hiring cycles. Despite this setback, he remains a respected young executive in NFL circles. The Giants have made moves to bolster their roster, signing cornerback Nic Jones and wide receiver Montrell Washington to reserve/future contracts.

Jones, a seventh-round draft pick, had limited action last season but showcased potential in his rookie year with Kansas City. Washington, who has experience with the Broncos and Chiefs, will aim to carve out a role, especially in special teams. The Giants also revamped their coaching staff, bringing in new faces to enhance their secondary and quarterback coaching. Meanwhile, former Giants WR Kadarius Toney was arrested on serious charges, adding to the team's off-field concerns.
