Moderatoren » Jets are looking for a G.M. after firing Mike Maccagnan

The Bills signed and drafted a lot of offensive linemen this offseason.Former Bengals tackle Jake Fisher wasn’t one of them.The former second-round pick is making the transition to tight end this year Shareef Miller Jersey , and is excited about the chance to jump-start his career.“I think it comes down to being happy every day, what you’re passionate about,�? Fisher told the team’s website, via the . “If you’re not doing that, change it up. For me Devin Bush Jersey , I’m passionate about tight end. I’m passionate about blocking, contributing any way I can for the team. . . . It’s about setting your mind on something and betting on yourself.”After four years as a backup with the Bengals, Fisher could have signed on as a backup elsewhere. But he decided to go back to his roots, when he started as a tight end in high school before becoming a lineman at Oregon.The biggest change is a physical one for Fisher, who played at over 300 pounds in recent years http://www.steelersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-diontae-johnson-jersey , and is now down to 268.“For someone that’s not naturally 320 to 340 playing offensive tackle, it took a lot of work to get to 315,�? he said. “So a lot of that excess weight just was breaking down my body later in the season, not allowing me to be the best form of me. . . .“I would say that’s my natural weight. I think I want to be in the low 260s, see how I feel Justin Layne Jersey , see how I can block, and go from there.”He’s going to have to prove he can catch a pass occasionally, or else he’ll serve as a clear signal to defenses to what the Bills intend to do when he’s on the field, but Fisher seems motivated to make the switch work. The Jets asked Vikings assistant General Manager George Paton to interview for their G.M. vacancy in 2013 and again in 2015, but Paton turned down the opportunity each time.Paton’s answer reportedly hasn’t changed in 2019. The Jets are looking for a G.M. after firing Mike Maccagnan and Paton’s name again made their list of candidates. TheAthletic.com reports that Paton has passed on the chance for the third time http://www.steelersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-benny-snell-jr.-jersey , however.Seahawks co-director of player personnel Scott Fitterer is set to start the interview process for the Jets with Eagles vice president of player personnel Joe Douglas and Bears assistant director of player personnel Champ Kelly also scheduled to speak to the team. Saints director of pro scouting Terry Fontenot has also been mentioned as a candidate, but there’s been no word that an interview has been set.The Jets will be looking for a long run from whoever winds up in the job. If that’s not how things play out, it might save some time to just leave Paton off the list for the next search.
