Former Dolphins GM Dennis Hickey will link up with Joe Schoen again. Coworkers in Miami and Buffalo, Schoen and Hickey will now team up with the Giants, Neil Stratton of InsidetheLeague.com tweets.
Hickey will serve as the Giants’ assistant director of player personnel, according to the Bergen Record’s Art Stapleton (on Twitter), after having spent the past five years with the Bills. The veteran exec finished his Buffalo tenure as a senior national scout.

Schoen worked under Hickey with the Dolphins in the mid-2010s, being promoted twice — to assistant college scouting director and then to director of player personnel — during the latter’s short time as the team’s GM. Schoen stayed on in that role following Hickey’s January 2016 Dolphins exit, before leaving in 2017 to become the Bills’ assistant GM.
Hickey’s Dolphins GM run lasted just two years, and he wielded less power than that job usually provides. The Dolphins did not hire a head coach during Hickey’s tenure but brought in Mike Tannenbaum to oversee their football operations a year into the former’s Miami stay. Hickey, however, played a key role in helping the Bills construct their late-2010s rebuild and will now attempt to aid the Giants’ reconstruction effort.
What? Can they hire him? Wait! is he a dwarf, crossdresser, two thumbs on one hand, glass eye? Load up the trucks with picket signs and pitch forks…..”weeza” headed to NYC to protest this insanity!
