In today's NY Daily News, there's a story on the fact that Chris Mara will be a candidate for the New York Giants GM job after Ernie Accorsi retires at the end of the season. Mara is son of the late Giants co-owner, Wellington Mara and brother of the current Team President. His current job with the team is the VP of player evaluation and his resume looks pretty stout.

Whether the fact his name is Mara has any bearing on how serious he'll be considered is debatable. Other possible candidates for the GM job are expected to include: Assistant GM Kevin Abrams, Director of Player Personnel Jerry Reese, and Director of Pro Personnel Dave Gettleman.
