In spite of the Raiders’ pursuit, Giants front office assistant stays put.
Jessie Armstead, a former linebacker and Special Assistant to the General Manager of the New York Giants, has reportedly been approached by the Las Vegas Raiders for a similar position, but he has a contract with the Giants and will stay with them, according to the New York Post. Armstead has a long history with the new Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce, but he is not known to be acquainted with general manager Tom Telesco. When Armstead joined the Washington Commanders in 2002–2003, following a nine-year career in New York, the two were first teammates.
Later, Armstead worked as a part-time front office assistant for the Giants, helping with coaching during training camp while Pierce developed his coaching background at the college and high school levels before joining the NFL.
