The Jets' search for a new general manager may already be under way.According to a CBS Sports report, the organization has begun to reach out to potential candidates across the NFL for its GM position, citing league sources.

However, Mike Tannenbaum may still be part of the future. The report says owner Woody Johnson is looking for someone to run the personnel decisions, while keeping Tannenbaum on to manage the salary cap and negotiate contracts. Houston's director of college scouting, Mike Maccagnan, was the only person named.

That partnership may not be palatable for some potential candidates.
"That's totally ridiculous," one league executive said in the report. "Only the Jets."
The report also said that it may come to be that Johnson ultimately will have to fully part ways with Tannenbaum to land the most attractive candidate.

Tanny did such a good job with the contracts he handed out to holmes, Harris and the contract extension to Sanchez that Woody wants him to be around for negotiating contracts.

Aliens have replaced James Dolan and put him into Woody Johnson's body.

Isiah Tannenbaum

Oh so lets bring in a GM, except he can't do half of what a GM's job is because the old GM has to hang around! **** YOU WOODY. What a clueless ****ing moron. Is there any wonder this team is an utter and complete national laughingstock?

As expected, candidates have significant issues with the parameters, sources said. Tannenbaum has created many of the Jets issues with bloated contracts given to players likeMark Sanchez and Santonio Holmes, to name two, coupled with cap mismanagement that has left New York in a difficult plight heading into 2013. Furthermore, Tannenbaum has shared a very close relationship with Johnson, which naturally would be a red flag for someone joining the Jets from the outside.

wtf.

This team may be as hateable as the Red Sox were this year.

They should try this Bradway character

They already did this with Terry Bradway and it worked so well, why not do it again amirite? That Sanchez extension alone is all the argument you need against keeping the bean counter around unless its to sell hot dogs. Woody needs to stop being cheap and realize HE screwed up extending Trader Mike and cut his losses.

I hate this team. We're doomed. Bah humbug.

This is like meeting a new girl who is to be your girlfriend but her old boyfriend is around just to make sure she can still get off (and not all that well either).

This is awesome.

What a joke

But no, seriously, you guys, the Jets are viewed as a first class organization around the league and Woody Johnson has surreal amounts of credibility in league circles.

[JFtoLong]

Great, lets keep Rex around, put all the blame on the accountant.

Yeah, that will turn things around quick!

What incoming GM worth a damn is going to like that. No, nay never. NO, 1000X, NO.

[Maxman]

I have been saying this for awhile. Really felt that this was exactly what Woody would try to do.

That 98 reference.

yeah... that's pretty stupid. finding it increasingly difficult to defend the FO.

Extending Sanchez, the Holmes contract, inviting the Tebow drama, and innumerable roster moves akin to a fantasy football team can't be excused. Cut bait with Tanny and let a qualified GM make the call on Rex. Enough already.
