Lions interview Brad Holmes, George Paton for general manager job

The Detroit Lions are nearly finished with their initial round of interviews for the team’s vacant general manager position.

The team confirmed it completed two more interviews for the job Wednesday, meeting with Brad Holmes, the Los Angeles Rams’ director of college scouting, and George Paton, the Minnesota Vikings’ assistant GM. That brings the total of confirmed interviews for the job to 10, with at least one more — Saints assistant GM Jeff Ireland — scheduled for Friday.

The Lions also are scheduled to interview San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh on Thursday for their head coaching vacancy.
