The New York Jets interview list for general manager is growing. George Paton, however, won’t be joining.
Connor Hughes of The Athletic has reported that Paton will instead retain his position as assistant general manager of the Minnesota Vikings.
Paton previously turned down the Jets for a general manager interview in 2006 and 2012. At those times, the Jets were searching for respective replacements for Terry Bradway and Mike Tannenbaum.
