New York Jets can't give away general manager job

The New York Jets' general manager search is not going well. They have met with a ton of quality candidates, but the position remains open. So what's the problem?

"They can't give the position away," Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer reported Sunday. "They are now calling back candidates that turned them down, saying please reconsider."

Yikes. This sort of thing usually does not happen because GM jobs are so hard to come by in the NFL.

On the Jets' interview list are former Chicago Bears GM Jerry Angelo, in-house candidate Scott Cohen, Miami Dolphins assistant GM Brian Gaine, Pittsburgh Steelers executive Omar Khan, Seattle Seahawks vice president of football administration John Idzik, San Francisco 49ers director of player personnel Tom Gamble and New York Giants director of college scouting Marc Ross.

The Jets' situation is tricky because of coach Rex Ryan's presence and Woody Johnson's questionable ownership. Usually, a GM helps pick the coach. The situation is reversed this time.

The Jets also lack offensive talent, not to mention an offensive coordinator. All of those factors are scaring away quality GM candidates.

Honestly this is a pretty dumb assessment. There are 32 GM positions in the NFL and you're telling me no one wants the spot? HA. Straight crap. These media clowns need to shut up. They honestly have no idea what is going on. Anyone see the Cimini tweet from today? After going on about Popp and Ball interviewing with the Jets, he comes out and goes that they weren't true. It's all just crap for headlines. Just look at the article. Potential GM candidates are scared because there is no talent? If the team was talented, Tanny would still be here! The GM wants to pick the HC? There are teams out there in the past that have had this happen. It's all just aggravating BS. The media is annoyed that they have nothing to say so they are making stuff up as they go along.

Nobody wants to join Rex's circus.

Uh...is it entirely out of the realm of possibility that this firm that Woody hired is being thorough?

If you're going to accept what Jay Glazer is saying, then don't ignore this: @JayGlazer - Rex isn't what GM candidates are concerned with - their cap situation, personnel, QB and the circus turned a lot of candidates off

Nope. It's the Jets. No one wants to work with them.

I read this article earlier today and thought it was a joke at first. This guy has a beef with the Jets and loves stirring the pot. The only part of it that would cause me concern is Jay Glazer. He is pretty reputable. Time will tell.

Just found the article. I say that if Glazer says it, it's basically true. So here's to two years of sucking.

If it is true 2 years will not be enough time. You have to figure the next GM will be a guy who can hopefully draft very well. Our cap hell will not let us do much more. By then we will have a new HC with a new scheme and new needs for players. Pretty much a revolving door of players and no good players will want to come here. The only silver lining is Brady might be retired by then.....

Jets are in a bad position cap-wise, but nothing that can't be fixed. It'll take 1 year max to get the cap completely sorted out but it's not as if there is no possible work around:

All in all, if someone wants to be the Raiders GM, someone will want the Jets job. This is just media speculation and headlining.

I don't buy it, plenty of other teams have been in as bad if not worse situations than the Jets. However if it is true, if someone(potential candidates) aren't man enough to take on the task of cleaning up what is a mess, then they couldn't hack it with the NY media anyways

Why would none want the one year "freebie"?
