Where Jets GM search stands after hiring Aaron Glenn as coach

The Jets have their head coach.Now, they have to find their general manager.With Aaron Glenn finalizing his deal to become the new Jets head coach, the team will turn its attention to more second interviews for the GM job, according to a source.Commanders assistant general manager Lance Newmark interviewed in Florham Park for the job on Tuesday.He was the first candidate to get a second interview, which made people view him as the favorite to get the job.Newmark worked with Glenn for three seasons with the Lions and was with Detroit for 26 seasons before joining the Commanders in 2024.He left Florham Park without a deal, though, and the Jets plan on taking a look at some other candidates.The team informed some candidates Monday that they were moving in a different direction.

This was seen as an indication the Jets were hiring Newmark, but the team was paring down its list of candidates.They did not tell all of the GM candidates they were out of the running.Besides Newmark, the Jets interviewed the following candidates for the GM job: former Falcons GM Thomas Dimitroff, former Titans GM Jon Robinson, Senior Bowl Executive Director Jim Nagy, ESPN analyst Louis Riddick, Eagles assistant GM Alec Halaby, Rams senior personnel executive Ray Farmer, Buccaneers assistant GM Mike Greenberg, Broncos assistant GM Darren Mougey, Bengals senior personnel executive Trey Brown, Lions special assistant to the owner and CEO Chris Spielman, Vikings senior vice president of player personnel Ryan Grigson, Packers vice president of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan and Bills assistant GM Brian Gaine.They also interviewed Chiefs assistant GM Mike Borgonzi, but he is off the board after taking the Titans GM job.
