Detroit Lions reportedly eyeing Seattle Seahawks' John Schneider for vacant GM job

The Detroit Lions are thinking big in their effort to finally build a consistent winner.

The Lions are one of two teams planning to pursue Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider as a replacement for Bob Quinn, NFL Network reported Sunday.

Schneider is widely considered one of the best GMs in football. He helped build the Seahawks' Super Bowl-winning team, and after some major defensive losses, has helped rebuild Seattle into one of the NFC's best teams this season.

The Seahawks are 11-4 entering Sunday's season finale, and can earn homefield advantage throughout the playoffs with a win and some help.
