Former Buffalo Bills general manager Doug Whaley a candidate for NFL vacancies

After Buffalo Bills general manager Doug Whaley was fired the day after the 2017 NFL Draft, it was fair to assume that he might never rise to a similar position again. Unlike head coaches, NFL teams rarely hire GM retreads and Whaley’s 30-34 record with the Bills wasn’t going to do him any favors. That view may have been short-sighted however, as Whaley reportedly interviewed for the Cleveland Browns GM vacancy and, per Ian Rapoport, is expected to draw interest from the Green Bay Packers after Ted Thompson steps down.
