Just days after hiring Joe Douglas from the Philadelphia Eagles to replace Mike Maccagnan as their general manager, the Jets could now be focused on adding a recognizable name to their personnel ranks in ESPN NFL draft analyst Todd McShay.
McShay told ESPN’s Rich Cimini he is indeed under consideration by Douglas for a front-office role:
This move would appear to follow in the footsteps of the Oakland Raiders, who hired NFL Network’s long-time draft analyst, Mike Mayock, to serve as the team’s general manager. McShay wouldn’t have the kind of power under Douglas, but yet another big name from the draft media ranks grabbing a high-ranking team job would certainly begin a noteworthy trend.
