One of the more interesting available candidates for teams in need of a new general manager is Marc Ross, who serves as the director of college scouting for the Giants. Ross’ name was floated around for multiple positions last season, but was unable to land a gig in the right spot and chose to stay in New York.

This year could bring him the right opportunity though, and one such team would be Seattle, where Tim Ruskell’s departure late in season opened the door to a job with a team that is on the upswing.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting (via Twitter) that Ross is slated to speak with the Seahawks next week, and given the level of respect he has in may league circles, an offer could potentially come along shortly after.

Obviously the hiring process is nowhere near completion and Seattle may have a completely different candidate in mind altogether. But it certainly would not be surprising to see Ross receive the position and the Seahawks would be better going forward as a result. Ross has all the tools to be a successful GM in this league and while his youth and relative inexperience could be seen as a negative, a fresh perspective would be the exact opposite.
