I’m hearing the Cards intend to formally pick a GM by the end of this week.

Report: Cardinals' GM Search Could Conclude in Next Few Days
The Arizona Cardinals' search for their next general manager could wrap up in the coming days, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.

Yeah I was just going to say they have interviewed everyone they have been linked to as far as I can see and Mike has had the weekend to think it over.
Baring him being undecided and wanting 2nd interviews I'd think by Tuesday or Wednesday because they won't want to leave HC interviews too long.

I think they will make a GM decision after interviewing Payton as he most likely would want to have that person reporting to him or put his guy in there.

I know it’s been discussed somewhere but do we know when they will be interviewing Payton?

No we don't. The only news we have is that Payton is interviewing with the Broncos on Tuesday in Los Angeles.

i think they will know if they can get Payton or not by Wednesday
so if they can get him, no GM announcement
if they cant, its on to plan B with their GM of choice

I like that he has worked with two organizations (Eagles and Ravens) who are known for pumping out quality personnel people. The fact that he worked closely with Newsome means he might have gleaned insight that could be invaluable in cracking the personnel code.
I read several articles about him yesterday, and one feeling I come away with was that he might be fine working with Payton. He seems the type that make it work, and who are good creating relations.
Also, another thing I noticed was that he seems really, really good.
I'm not sure they do.
I think the control thing with Payton is overblown. Loomis is no sock puppet token GM. I think Payton just wants someone he can work well with and that we put a GM in place first.
You definitely need a GM and Head Coach to be on the same page.
I view a GM in charge of acquire and evaluating talent and trad options.
I think the Head Coach works with him to evaluate the current talent, report the deficiencies in the roster and the type of player he needs for his system if possible.
The GM and scouting dept to evaluate the best talent. He can’t pass up a B+ player for a C- player to fill a need. A balance definitely needs to be attempted.

I don't think that ANY general manager can be successful with the Cardinals so long as Michael Bidwill runs the team as a triumvirate of owner - general manager - coach. He may be a heck of an airplane pilot but his presence in the day-to-day operations of the team cannot be helpful. He needs to hire good people and stay out of the way. And he needs someone like Bill Parcells to guide him in hiring a general manager and head coach.

No doubt Bidwill makes it challenging. Still you have to try. That’s why I like Cunningham. He’s his own man who’s capable of sorting through tons of personnel info. He won’t be easy to push around, having done this for many years working for most all types of people. He won’t get pushed around but he knows how to handle people.

Couple things:
1) You can't have a couple GMs, it doesn't work like that. You have a GM, the GM has a staff and the head coach is part of that staff
2) Any GM that doesn't insist on picking the next head coach has no business being a GM

Mike B goes outside
long time Patriot front office guy
probably means some Patriot-like "WTF?!?" draft picks that ultimately work out well

Hmm. I wonder how this impacts the odds of landing Sean Payton.

Who is Monti Ossenfort? Chicago Bears set up second interview with Titans director of player personnel
Tennessee Titans personnel executive Monti Ossenfort, who's a Bill Belichick disciple, is a finalist for the Chicago Bears' GM opening.

"Should he get the Bears job, Ossenfort would presumably have a strong opinion about head coach candidate Brian Flores. They worked together for years with the Patriots."

I feel nothing. Neither great nor awful. As good as the pats always were I never thought it was about personnel I thought it was about Brady and belicheck. Not overly impressed with titans personnel moves either. This seems a bit like going with vanilla because you know what it tastes like.

8 weeks ago I was 100% convinced that one of AW or Quentin Harris would be the new GM.
good for Mike to try something new. No idea is this guy is any good or not
