It’s not clear how many true General Managers jobs

[zhangzk]

For any G.M. jobs that come open , whether those that have final say or that don’t, the NFL’s Career Development Advisory Panel has compiled a list of viable G.M. candidates. PFT has obtained the list from a league source with knowledge of its contents.They are as follows, in no particular order: Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin, former Giants G.M. Jerry Reese , Vikings assistant G.M. George Paton, former Raiders G.M. Reggie McKenzie, ESPN analyst Louis Riddick, Saints assistant G.M. (and former Dolphins G.M.) Jeff Ireland , 49ers senior personnel executive (and former Lions G.M.) Martin Mayhew, Jaguars G.M. Dave Caldwell (who is available for a G.M. job that entail control over the football operations, since he doesn’t have it in Jacksonville), Washington senior V.P. of player personnel Doug Williams , Cowboys assistant director of player personnel Will McClay, Patriots V.P. of player personnel Nick Caserio, Ravens assistant G.M./G.M. in waiting Eric DeCosta, and Chargers senior executive (along with current AAF Salt Lake G.M. and former Seahawks and Saints G.M.) Randy Mueller.Some General Manager positions come open in January. Others come open after the draft. The number of expected vacancies this year is far from clear. The Vikings are one of the teams waiting to hear from offensive lineman Nick Easton about his plans for the 2019 season and they may have identified a backup option in the event Easton signs elsewhere.Ben Goessling of the reports that the team may bring former Titans guard Josh Kline in for a visit. Kline was released by the Titans this month and has yet to be linked to any other teams since hitting the open market.Kline started every game for the Titans over the last two seasons and 14-of-16 games in the 2016 season. The work in 2016 and 2017 earned him a four-year deal last offseason , but his play dipped in 2018 ahead of his release.Easton, who missed all of last season with a neck injury, is reportedly choosing between the Vikings, Saints and an undisclosed third team. The Vikings have also parted ways with Mike Remmers since the end of the 2018 season and have two other free agents on the offensive line.
