Report: Ex-Jet Nick Mangold considering a run for Congress
Former New York Jets center Nick Mangold, a free agent for nearly a year, could be headed to Washington -- but not to join the football team.
Mangold is being recruited by GOP officials in New Jersey to run for Congress, according to Politico. Essex County Republican chairman Al Barlas told Politico that Mangold is "intrigued" by the idea of running in the GOP primary to replace retiring Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen in the 11th district of New Jersey.
Barlas said Mangold told him he needs to discuss it with his wife. Mangold didn't return a message seeking comment.
