The Jets are expanding their search for a general manager, as expected.
Vikings assistant general manager George Paton and Seahawks co-director of player personnel Scott Fitterer have emerged as candidates. The NFL Network reported that the Jets have requested permission to speak to Paton and Fitterer.
The other known candidates for the vacancy are Eagles director of player personnel Joe Douglas and Bears assistant director of player personnel Champ Kelly.
The Jets are looking for a replacement for Mike Maccagnan, who was fired May 15. Jets chairman and CEO Christopher Johnson will make the final decision, but coach and acting GM Adam Gase will have input.
