ANDERSON — The majority of the NFL's top personnel decision makers are in Mobile, Ala., this week for the Senior Bowl.
And Jim Irsay is taking advantage to get the Colts' general manager search properly jumpstarted.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Indianapolis has requested permission to interview Minnesota assistant GM George Paton. USA Today's Tom Pelissero adds that Seattle co-directors of player personnel Scott Fitterer and Trent Kirchner also will be interviewed.
The trio joins Colts executive vice president of football operations Jimmy Raye III as the known candidates to replace Ryan Grigson, who was fired Saturday after five seasons on the job.
