Former Giants GM Ernie Accorsi dies at 84

The Giants announced the death of their former General Manager Ernie Accorsi at the age of 84 on Sunday.

Accorsi was the Giants' GM from 1998 until his retirement in 2006 and, after hiring head coach Tom Coughlin, helped put together the core of the team that would go on to win the Super Bowl the next season. Quarterback Eli Manning, who Accorsi traded up to draft in 2004, and several other players acquired by Accorsi also had a hand in the team's Super Bowl win after the 2011 season.
