Ryan Cowden’s new title won’t fit easily on his business card, but he’s on board to help his friend, Giants GM Joe Schoen, try to build a winner in New York.

Cowden, 44, formerly of the Tennessee Titans, has joined the Giants as special advisor to the general manager, the team announced Thursday.

He and Schoen worked together as scouting assistants and area scouts for the Carolina Panthers from 2000-07.

They both interviewed for the Giants GM vacancy last year. The job went to Schoen, Brandon Beane’s assistant GM in Buffalo, and not Cowden, who was entering his fifth season as VP of player personnel under then-Titans GM Jon Robinson.

The Giants then beat Cowden’s Titans in Nashville in Week 1 in Schoen’s first regular season game as an NFL GM on Sept. 11, 2022.

The dramatic 21-20 comeback victory was led by Saquon Barkley, who is currently declining to sign his franchise tag tender due to his desire for a longer-term and more lucrative deal.

Cowden worked seven seasons for the Titans, the first two as director of player personnel, to help build Tennessee Into an AFC contender.

In his most recent role, he oversaw the Titans’ entire scouting department, both college and pro.

His Titans were built, interestingly enough, around a running back: Derrick Henry, a 2016 second-round pick. Safety Kevin Byard and tackle Jack Conklin also were important selections in Robinson’s first draft.

Coach Mike Vrabel arrived in 2018. Robinson traded for quarterback Ryan Tannehill and picked wide receiver A.J. Brown and DT Jeffrey Simmons in 2019. And the Titans reached the AFC Championship Game that year, before winning the AFC South back-to-back in 2020 and 2021 with a combined regular season record of 23-10.

The Giants borrowed heavily from those Titans teams, bringing safety Logan Ryan, corner Adoree Jackson and defensive tackle Austin Johnson to the Big Apple a few years back. Only Jackson remains on the roster.

The Titans’ drafting slipped in recent years, though, including the 2020 first-round selection of tackle Isaiah Wilson, a bust that the Giants inexplicably added and kept around for a bit in 2021.

Robinson then unwisely traded Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles last offseason. Tennessee had its first sub-.500 season (7-10) in Robinson’s and Cowden’s tenure, and Robinson was fired in December, which elevated Cowden to interim GM.

He held that title until Tennessee hired Ran Carthon, the San Francisco 49ers’ director of pro personnel, as their new GM in mid-January.

Eventually in May it became clear Cowden was definitely not going to remain in Tennessee.

His title with the Giants suggests he’s still being paid by the Titans and that it could evolve as he works with Schoen, director of player personnel Tim McDonnell, director of pro scouting Chris Rossetti and assistant director of player personnel Dennis Hickey.

In addition to Cowden, the Giants also announced the hiring of scouting assistant Isaiah Wingfield, a Harvard graduate (economics) and former first-team All-Ivy League defensive back who played his last two seasons at Wake Forest as a graduate transfer.

Wingfield, a native of Burlington, N.J., was a three-year starter at The Lawrenceville School before his standout NCAA career and now will call East Rutherford his new professional home.
