New York Giants assistant general manager Brandon Brown is expected to return to the team in 2025 after being passed over by the Las Vegas Raiders.
On Wednesday, it was reported that the Raiders would be hiring assistant general manager John Spytek for their GM role following an extensive search.

Brown received both a virtual and in-person interview with the Raiders, the most recent of the two coming earlier this week. It was the second consecutive cycle in which he was considered a finalist but failed to land a job.
Last year, Brown interviewed with the Los Angeles Chargers and Carolina Panthers but was ultimately passed over.
Despite expectations that Brown will return to East Rutherford, there is one general manager job that remains open.
The Jacksonville Jaguars “parted ways” with Trent Baalke on Wednesday amid their head coaching search, creating the final opening of this cycle. Whether or not they’ll request to interview Brown remains to be seen.
Current Giants general manager Joe Schoen signed Brown away from the Philadelphia Eagles in 2022 after he had spent five seasons with the team, serving in multiple roles, including director of pro scouting and director of player personnel.
Should Brown land a GM job, the Giants would be compensated with a third-round compensatory pick in each of the next two drafts under the Rooney Rule.
