Jets complete flurry of GM interviews as two new candidates emerge
NY Post
The Jets had a busy day in their search for a new general manager on Saturday. The team interviewed five candidates, including two who had not been previously reported.
Broncos assistant general manager Darren Mougey and Commanders assistant general manager Lance Newmark both interviewed with the team on Saturday. Those were two new names added to the list.
They were joined by Bengals senior personnel executive Trey Brown, Vikings senior vice president of player personnel Ryan Grigson and Lions special assistant to the owner and CEO Chris Spielman.
In addition to the GM interviews, the team spoke with Saints special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi about their head coaching opening.
The flurry of general manager interviews raises the total to 13 individuals interviewed by the Jets for the position vacated when the team fired Joe Douglas in November.
They are also expected to interview Bills assistant GM Brian Gaine and Packers VP of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan for the GM post.
