It appears as if we are inching closer and closer to a decision, folks. TheJetsBlog’s Jake Steinberg and Kristian Dyer are both reporting that in-house candidate Scott Cohen will not be the next general manager of the New York Jets.

This comes as no surprise. Cohen is representative of an old order and the Jets need fresh blood to direct their future exploits … I think they also realized Florham Park would be the site of World War III if they announced Cohen as general manager.
