It’s been a wild start to the offseason for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and it seems there’s yet another layer to unravel. The team is still searching for a head coach, and according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, there could be a new decision-maker with a say in that process. Per Rapoport, Jacksonville interviewed former Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman on Monday for a “high-level front office position.”
Spielman, who was fired on Jan. 10 after serving as the general manager in Minnesota for the last 10 seasons, was also the general manager for the Miami Dolphins in 2004 and then served as the vice president of player personnel for the Vikings from 2006-11 before being promoted.
The #Jaguars interviewed former #Vikings long-time GM Rick Spielman for a high-level front office position in-person yesterday, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. One of the more respected GMs over the last decade, Spielman would be a key addition in Jacksonville.
