John Harbaugh Goes Over Titans GM Head to Directly Call Owner Amy Adams After Being Told No Over Jeffery Simmons Trade

Head coach John Harbaugh has significant influence on the New York Giants ‘ football decisions. When the team hired him earlier this year, it was revealed that Harbaugh would report directly to the Giants’ ownership rather than operating under general manager Joe Schoen. So it’s easy to understand why Harbaugh was involved in former Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons’ pursuit. Per The Athletic ‘s Jonathan Jones , Schoen reached out to the Titans general manager, Mike Borgonzi, to acquire Simmons ahead of the November 10 trade deadline. However, Borgonzi initially told Schoen that the veteran DT wasn’t available.
