Several changes have come to the New York Giants this offseason. They’re one of 10 teams to hire a new head coach, and they landed the most accomplished one, in John Harbaugh. He’s since been busy filling out his coaching staff.
On Tuesday, the Giants hired two-time Super Bowl winner Matt Nagy as the offensive coordinator/playcaller. They previously announced the hires of Dennard Wilson as defensive coordinator and Chris Horton as special teams coordinator.
The latest Giants hire doesn’t come from another team; they’ve gotten this one from the league office.
According to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan, the Giants have hired Dawn Aponte as their vice president. Aponte had been working for the NFL since 2017 as the chief administrator of football operations.
Yet, she’s previously worked for the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, and Miami Dolphins, so this won’t be the first time in a similar role. Her previous titles include working as a salary cap analyst, senior director of football administration, and senior V.P. of football operations, which is also her new title with the Giants.
Aponte replaces Kevin Abrams, who had been with the Giants for 27 years, but was let go in January as the team enters a new phase. Now she’ll be one of the highest-ranked members in the organization, but she brings plenty of experience to the table.
