Falcons candidate Brad Holmes reportedly finalist for Lions GM

After weeks of rumors and reports, it appears that teams are starting to settle on their preferred candidates for open general manager jobs, which means head coaches may not be far behind.

We start with the Broncos, who have just hired longtime Vikings executive George Paton as their new general manager. This is most noteworthy because Saints executive Terry Fontenot, widely considered to be one of the top candidates for the Falcons general manager job, had interviewed with Denver twice. That eliminates a strong competitor for Atlanta if they do have Fontenot atop their list.
