Champ Kelly the fourth candidate to interview for Jets' GM job

The Jets interviewed a fourth candidate for their open general manager’s position, and could be nearing the end of their search for Mike Maccagnan’s successor.

Bears assistant director of player personnel Champ Kelly interviewed with the Jets, the team announced. Kelly has been with Chicago the past four seasons after working with the Broncos for eight years.

Kelly worked with Jets coach and acting GM Adam Gase at both spots.

The Jets also have interviewed Seahawks co-director of player personnel Scott Fitterer, Eagles director of player personnel Joe Douglas and Saints director of pro scouting Terry Fontenot.
