The New York Giants are adding former Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals executive John Ritchie to their front office, according to a report on Saturday from NFL insider Aaron Wilson.
Ritchie spent the last eight seasons with the Houston Texans, and carried the title of co-director of college scouting. Prior to ascending to that job, he had been an area and national scout for Houston.
Ritchie also worked for the Arizona Cardinals for six seasons before landing in Houston. He overlapped with Giants
GM Joe Schoen and senior vice president of football operations and strategy Dawn Aponte when he was a scouting assistant with the Miami Dolphins in 2011.
The Giants do not have a director of college scouting in their front office. Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post believes that is the role Ritchie will assume.
This is the first reported change in the Giants’ front office since the end of the 2026 NFL Draft. There have been no reported firings or defections.
