Meanwhile...

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

Referencing a prior tweet...

Anderson doesn't even mention the Panthers here.

Trying to get out in front of Tepper before he starts throwing money at people to get what he wants.

The Titans fired Mike Vrabel

[Mr. Scot]

Damn. Titans fired Vrabel.

That's after firing Jon Robinson over conflict with him
