All of the statements we've been hearing about GM candidates have been hearsay and speculation.

Neither Ernie Accorsi nor Jerry Richardson has made any official statement.

I put more stock in some than others , but at this point its all still rumor.

this is one reason I was stirring the pot so much in the Beane thread, nobody has said anything officially and that much uproar over a beat writers pure speculations was hysterical. I couldn't help myself in that thread.

Working on the profiles. Want to put them all up at once.

FYI: The new name mentioned by Adam Schefter is Joey Clinkscales, Director of Player Personnel for the Raiders.

I heard Joey Clinkscales can really scout talent. As soon as the season is over we have to be on the move with this GM search. I can see a couple interviews take place next week.

When was the last time Jerry Richardson made an official statement?

About once a century.

Reporters have been calling Accorsi for comment. He isn't giving any.

Where are the leaks coming from? Don't know, but I'd be cautious about getting too excited while it's all just hearsay.

Still, it's all we've got at the moment.

Based on reports (such as they are) here are the names I take most seriously right now:

Marc Ross

Dave Gettleman

Tom Gamble

Steve Keim

Joey Clinkscales

Others I put less stock in:

George Kokinis

Scot McCloughan

Based on the Accorsi cronyism from last time, Heckert might be on there too. Unless he just goes ahead and ends up with Reid from the jump.

But, definitely, anything right now is from agents to willing press. Nothing more.

Hell, we've got a week and change before all this becomes real anyway. I'm sure they have a list. They're just not going to let people know about it.

Multiple reliable sources confirmed Ross was the leading guy. There are others inside the organazation that can talk with the likes of Schefter and such. We are by far the best destination for a GM landing spot. Franchise QB? Check. Franchise MLB? Check. 2 double digit sack artist bookends in CJ and Hardy? Check. Seriously out of the Jets, Chargers, Chiefs, Jags and Browns. We are by far the most attractive destination. All those teams aside from the Chargers are a long ways away from being contenders and none other than the Chargers have stability at the QB position and you can also argue a 30 year old Rivers thats on the decline is a big question mark as well.
