NFL insider notebook: Top GM candidates entering 2022, plus head coaching options for Jaguars, Week 15 picks

Jonathan Jones' weekly look inside the NFL

It's Week 15 of the NFL season, and that unfortunately means it's time for the cycle of firings and hirings to soon begin.

Last year I took a look at some general manager and head coaching candidates who I thought would -- or should -- get interviews for jobs, based off talks I had with sources across the NFL.

I decided to do this project again this year, one that's sure to leave off some impressive names, regrettably. In today's look at GM candidates, I spoke with personnel executives, coaches, player and coaching agents, scouts and other staffers to determine who are the top names in this year's cycle.
