Something has been bugging me about today. Washington is requesting GM interviews for a GM spot that isn't currently open... Are you even allowed to interview for a spot that isn't open yet?

What do you mean?  The Commanders have already told the staff they are all gone, the GM(s) are sticking around because they are "assisting" and continuing to collect a paycheck until they are out the door.

Interesting observation from the previous GM search. Of the 15 interviews mentioned in this article, a majority of the 13 external candidates ended up with GM jobs. It appears that they actually did a good job of identifying promising candidates last time around (at least based on the opinion of the rest of the league).

The breakdown:

7 GMs

  • Scott Fitterer (former GM Panthers)
  • Nick Caserio (GM Texans)
  • Kwesi Adofo-Mensah (GM Vikings)
  • Omar Khan (GM Steelers)
  • Monti Ossenfort (GM Cardinals)
  • Ryan Poles (GM Bears)
  • Joe Schoen (GM Giants)

1 Interim GM

  • Champ Kelly (Interim GM Raiders) ... part of current search

5 Additional External Candidates

  • Jeff Ireland
  • Adam Peters
  • Jerry Reese
  • Brandt Tilis ... part of current search
  • Ed Dodds (withdrew) ... part of current search

2 Internal Candidates

  • Pat Stewart (internal)
  • Samir Suleiman (internal)

They are also reported to they are trying to interview Nick Matteo from the Ravens who declined an interview last time.

I mean as of 11:14 EST Martin Mayhew is still the GM of the Washington Commanders. Can’t clubs block interviews requests for teams who don’t currently have an opening. To each their own honestly I just feel like it’s a backwards approach. If you told them they are gone let them be gone then, you hired 2 outside people to help assist with the transition.

Cowboys VP of player personnel Will McClay is now my favorite GM choice. 

He's done a great job in the Cowboy front office. I think he'd be a good addition for our organization...which means he won't get the job. I fear this could be a Rooney Rule interview and nothing more.

Not if we're smart

    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
    • They might be ass but it’s the professional level like NFL!! I will take a win no matter what!! Still not over
    • So you are just going by what these analysts are saying. So if come draft time they say Ward/Sanders is worth pick 1 you should be good. The future draft QB class is always going to be projected as the next great thing until these young players start playing the game and scouts can see some flaws. Think of all of the high school phenoms that didn’t look as good in college.  If Manning does turn out to be the next great prospect only one team gets to draft him. Odds are someone else could get the top pick, especially if go all in on building a supporting roster. I’m never going to be a just wait another year guy, because there are so many variables. If our staff loves Ward/Sanders then we should just draft them with our pick. It’s as simple as that. I also might go with Hunter over TMac as WR1 in this class.  The roster has the OL to help a young QB, young weapons in Coker, XL, and JT to grow with a QB, and a RB who can catch in Brooks as a safety net for a young QB. Sign a vet WR, extend BC and our offense would be set outside of depth. Let our young offensive core go through their growing pains while we iron out the defense. It’s definitely a path forward.
