Kevin Abrams is in his 20th season with the Giants and his first as the team’s vice president of football operations. He remains the team’s assistant general manager, a title he has held for 17 years. Abrams was previously the Giants’ salary cap analyst for three years.
In 2017, Abrams was the Giants’ interim general manager for the final four weeks of the season, a position he assumed after Jerry Reese was relieved of his duties.
Abrams is the team’s primary negotiator for player contracts, works with the college and pro personnel departments to evaluate players in preparation for the NFL Draft and free agency, and is responsible for managing the Giants’ salary cap, football data analytics, player engagement, related strategic planning for football operations and compliance with the NFL’s Collective Bargaining Agreement.
In July of 1999, Abrams was hired to fill the newly- created position of salary cap analyst. He came to the Giants from the NFL Management Council, where he helped to monitor the league-wide salary cap and analyzed all new player contracts with respect to the rules and regulations of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Prior to working at the Management Council, Abrams completed internships and graduate work in player personnel, recruiting, public relations and corporate relations with the Washington Redskins, the Ohio University football program, the Buffalo Bills and the London Monarchs.
Abrams was raised in Toronto, Canada. He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Western Ontario, and earned his master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University, where he is currently a member of the Sports Administration Advisory Board.
Kevin and his wife, Sarah-Jane, live in New York City with their three children, Joseph, Grace and Cormac.
