The Seahawks’ general manager search is down to four candidates, according to league sources.
The team began contacting its finalists Monday, seeking permission to interview the candidates for their GM vacancy, according to sources. Ravens director of player personnel Eric DeCosta and Packers director of football operations John Schneider were two of those contacted, according to sources.
Cardinals director of player personnel Steve Keim also is considered by many as a top candidate, but it can’t be fully determined at this time whether or not he has been contacted by the Seahawks. Some of those people on the team’s initial list of candidates, such as Eagles GM Tom Heckert, haven’t been contacted about the position, according to sources, although Heckert will interview for the Browns’ GM vacancy.
