Jack Del Rio leading candidate to become Giants DC under Pat Shurmur

Former Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio is a leading candidate to become Pat Shurmur's defensive coordinator with the New York Giants, league sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

Del Rio has been prominent on Shurmur's list of defensive candidates, and he is open to joining the presumptive Giants coach.

The Giants are planning to schedule a second interview this week with Shurmur, sources told ESPN. If Minnesota loses to the Eagles in Sunday's NFC championship game, the Giants can negotiate or sign Shurmur immediately.

Del Rio won't be doing it for money if he becomes the Giants defensive coordinator.
