The New York Jets have reportedly requested an interview with New Orleans Saints director of pro scouting Terry Fontenot about their vacant general manager position.
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported the update Wednesday, noting Fontenot has a "great reputation" after helping New Orleans "drastically improve its roster."
The Louisiana native has spent the past 16 seasons as a member of the Saints organization. He worked his way up the ladder through the scouting department before being named director of pro scouting in 2013.
In 2015, Fontenot spoke about the chance to work alongside general manager Mickey Loomis, who called him a future GM, and head coach Sean Payton.
"I think it says a lot about this organization," he said. "You watch Mickey Loomis—who I think is the best in the league—and coach Payton—I think he's the best in the league—and the way they do things in an organization like this, and you'll learn a lot."
