Report: Lions pursuing current Seahawks GM John Schneider for their GM vacancy

The Detroit Lions general manager search has been thorough thus far, but the latest news regarding this search is possibly even more bold than anyone could have possibly imagined.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Lions are planning to take a shot a current Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider. That’s right, they are going to try and pry a current general manager from one of the most winningest franchises over the past decade.

Why would Schneider want to leave his current job in Seattle? Well, as pointed out by Rapoport, he doesn’t currently have primary authority over personnel decision with the Seahawks.
