Rapoport also tosses out (
via Twitter) some names to look for when the Jets do begin their GM search.
George Paton (Vikings),
Ryan Pace (Saints),
Trent Kirchner (Seahawks),
Will McClay (Cowboys) are all candidates to be interviewed by New York, although Brian Costello notes (
Twitter link) that the Jets were interested in Paton during their last GM hiring, but Paton turned them down.

----------------------------------
- Adam Schefter writes Cowboys that director of player personnel Will McClay has been one of the real unheralded heroes for Dallas this season.
- Schefter mentions that although McClay is not well known outside the Cowboys’ organization, he’s someone who’s bound to get more attention for general manager vacancies.

Will McClay is my biggest fear of losing right now. The guy has a true talent and finding talent and created a very impressive draft board this past draft. To me, McClay ended a lot of the bad draft classes that Tom Ciskowski reeled off. Horrific draft classes of 2009 and 2012, highlight Ciskowski’s drafting ineptitude, so Jerry elevated McClay to the Draft Czar. There’s aleardy rumors that McClay will get a look at for the Jets. Jerry will likely counter with a nice raise, I would hope so. McClay’s next task will be to upgrade the defensive line, so let’s hope he’ll be here to do that for us.
