Jets hold second round of interviews with GM candidates, report says

The Jets reportedly circled back with the four candidates for their general manager position, and held a second round of talks with them Tuesday night.

ESPN reported that the Jets spoke to Eagles vice president of personnel Joe Douglas, Seahawks co-director of player personnel Scott Fitterer, Bears assistant director of player personnel Champ Kelly and Saints director of pro scouting Terry Fontenot.

Jets chairman and CEO Christopher Johnson and coach Adam Gase had interviewed those candidates over a four-day stretch from Friday to Monday. Douglas has been considered the favorite for the job, but Fitterer’s prospects have picked up some steam recently.
