Josh McDaniels wouldn't be taking an interview with Las Vegas if he wasn't very serious about accepting the opportunity if it was offered. And he probably would not be taking the interview if he didn't have a good idea that he would be offered.
League sources have said even prior to McDaniels' interview becoming public that the Patriots offensive coordinator was of interest there. This was inevitable, it seems. And now Vegas -- after interviewing Patriots front-office chief Dave Ziegler for its general manager opening -- appears to be just days away from officially adopting a New England West approach.
