The Dolphins’ list of general manager candidates is down one name.

When Vikings assistant G.M. George Paton’s name first landed on the Dolphins’ radar screen, it was believed he would speak to Miami about the position but things haven’t worked out that way. A league source tells PFT that Paton has declined an opportunity to interview for the job.
Paton worked in Miami earlier in the career, but it seems he likes his situation in Minnesota better than the prospect of replacing Jeff Ireland in Miami. Paton was in the running for the Rams G.M. job in 2012 and his name has come up in connection with other openings, although it appears it will be at least another year before he gets a move up the ladder.

Love the way that story is written. Guy realizes he isn't really wanted....and media spins it again as MIA being a mess nobody wants.
 
Sage Rosenfels is doing a Ryan Clark impression on Twitter. Ripping the Dolphins saying no one wants to be the GM after Paton turned them down.
 
Why the hell would they be interested in him anyways?

From what I have read seems Paton was turned off from the interview because he heard/told that Fins GM would not hold "ultimate" power.

Maybe this feeds into the previous thread about Xanders and Farmer splitting responsibilities.
 
The corpse of a WWII general could still probably be better at his job than Ireland.

Didn't Ross already say that the new GM would have final say over the roster through the draft and free agency. That's some bogus report that Mike Florio is putting out there to see if it sticks.
