The Indianapolis Colts have relieved general manager Ryan Grigson and will be in the market for a new GM. In a press conference announcing the move, Jim Irsay said that they would be retaining head coach Chuck Pagano and interviewing former San Francisco 49ers GM candidate Jimmy Raye III for the GM role.
Whew!
This is about as good of a situation the San Francisco 49ers could ask for because the Colts won’t be stepping on any toes in the 49ers search (for now, anyway). Right now in Santa Clara, it’s suggested that George Paton is the front-runner for the GM position and Kyle Shanahan is the pick for head coach.
