Jags GM search roundup: What we know so far

The Jags have begun their search for a new front-office leader, interviewing two candidates on Wednesday.

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ general manager search finally got underway this week as the team looks for Dave Caldwell’s successor. They had their first few interviews Wednesday meeting with both ESPN’s Louis Riddick and former Houston Texans general manager Rick Smith.

With two games left, the Jags will only have the ability to interview personnel members not in the league at the moment like Riddick and Smith. There will undoubtedly be more in-season interviews to occur over the next two weeks, too.

With the Jags having plenty of assets with regards to draft picks and cap space, there won’t be a shortage of interest when the regular season is over, either. That will especially be the case if the Jags acquire the No. 1 overall pick and Trevor Lawrence enters the draft.

Of course, with just two interviews conducted, it’s super early in the process and more work has to be done, but here is what we know about the search at the moment:
