The New York Giants have added the title of vice president of football operations to the duties of assistant general manager Kevin Abrams.
General manager Dave Gettleman
Adidas Dylan Larkin Jersey , who is undergoing treatment for lymphoma, made the announcement Wednesday. Abrams has been with the Giants since 1999.
Mark Koncz, brought in by Gettleman as a consultant before the draft

Chris Pettit has been appointed director of college scouting after spending the previous 13 years as an area scout. He joined the Giants' scouting staff in 2005.
Patrick Hanscomb will be an area scout whose concentration will be the Mid-Atlantic states. Hanscomb spent the previous 10 seasons in the team's pro personnel department.
Marcus Cooper has been hired as an area scout who will focus in the Southeast. Cooper spent the previous seven seasons with the Buffalo Bills.
John (Jackie) Miles is the team's new head equipment manager.
The Pittsburgh Steelers value versatility in their defensive backs. Morgan Burnett should fit right in.
The two-time defending AFC North champions signed the free agent safety to a three-year deal on Tuesday, part of an overhaul in the secondary that began last week when the team cut ties with veterans Mike Mitchell, Robert Golden and William Gay.
The 29-year-old Burnett has played all eight seasons of his NFL career in Green Bay

”I’m coming in to do my job the best I can do, wherever I fit,” Burnett said. ”To be accountable as a teammate and earn the respect of the coaches and get into a routine with the rest of the fellas.”
Burnett moved around late in his tenure with the Packers but spent the majority of the time in Green Bay at safety. It’s a position where the Steelers have a serious need after deciding to part ways with Mitchell and Golden. Sean Davis has shown flashes during his two seasons and has one of the two starting spots. The other remains up in the air

”There’s things in my toolbox I’m capable to move around and play different positions if need be,” Burnett said. ”But definitely I came into the league as safety and that’s where I’m comfortable at.”
Burnett’s signing is the second by Pittsburgh during free agency. The Steelers signed inside linebacker Jon Bostic to a two-year deal over the weekend.
