FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Former Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman, who assisted the New York Jets in their searches for a GM and head coach, has accepted a full-time position with the organization.
Spielman will be the senior football adviser, he announced Thursday on his CBS Sports podcast "With the First Pick."
"Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey are the final decisionmakers," Spielman said of the new coach and GM, respectively. "I'm just there as their sounding board."
Spielman was part of The 33rd Team, a media and technology company hired by the Jets to compile and vet candidates.
