Dave Gettleman’s cancer is in remission

Dave Gettleman’s cancer is in remission, as his recent scans have come back clean, The Post has learned.

People who have spoken recently with the Giants general manager say Gettleman has shared the positive news with them the past few days.

Gettleman, 67, revealed on June 5 that he had been diagnosed with lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. It is a type of cancer that starts in the white blood cells and can spread to different parts of the body.

A course of chemotherapy treatments caused Gettleman to lose his hair and eradicated the cancer. It is expected he will continue the treatments for the time being.

“Dave’s doing great, he was here [Tuesday], and he’s been doing his treatments,” said Pat Shurmur, hired by Gettleman as the Giants’ head coach. “That’s a process that he’s going through, but we communicate frequently. We’ve been in close touch all summer, I didn’t do much traveling, so I was here in town and Dave and I communicated quite a bit, actually.”

On Wednesday, Shurmur asked Gettleman to address the players as part of the first team meeting of training camp.

At the time of his diagnosis, Gettleman said, “The doctor’s outlook for the treatment and the prognosis is positive, and so am I.” His assistant, Kevin Abrams, picked up the slack when Gettleman was not feeling strong enough to fill his usual work responsibilities.

The Giants hit the field Thursday for their first practice of training camp with a roster reshaped by Gettleman. He traded for linebacker Alec Ogletree, signed left tackle Nate Solder and linebackers Kareem Martin and Connor Barwin in free agency and selected Saquon Barkley with the No. 2 pick in the draft and guard Will Hernandez in the second round.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
