I've heard Maccagnan is a "brilliant" talent evaluator but is a quiet guy who keeps to himself. Might struggle with NY market. #nyj

Maccagnan was described to me as very thorough with a solid plan on how to build a team and would be able to work well with HC, etc. #nyj

Heard that Ron Wolf took the lead in the Maccagnan 1st interview since Casserly knows him so well and came away very impressed. #nyj

If Mike Maccagnan gets the #Jets GM job, it's the best acquisition for that franchise in years. Great eye for talent and an awesome guy

There are certain NFL execs you are guaranteed to see at scouting events. Ted Thompson is one and Mac is another. Always a scout at his core

@EliCuse He was a big Hopkins guy at WR. And I believe Glover Quin was one of his guys too. Lots of good talks w/ him about prospects

I think Mike Maccagnan would be a really strong choice for the Jets GM job. Very well respected. Good eye for draft picks. @SNYtv

What do you think? Do you want the team to hire Maccagnan?
