Jon-Eric Sullivan interview with Jacksonville on Friday
Due to the late firing of Trent Baalke, the Jacksonville Jaguars only have a few more weeks left to hire a general manager before the NFL’s deadline to hire the position — ahead of the combine — closes. On Friday, the Jaguars announced that Green Bay Packers front office member, Jon-Eric Sullivan, was the ninth candidate to interview for their general manager vacancy.
The splashiest name that Jacksonville has brought in is former Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson, who has been out of the sport since 2022. Prior to his time in Tennessee, Robinson was with the New England Patriots, in various roles, from 2002 to 2012, before taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ director of player personnel job.
Beyond Robinson, though, the next biggest name might very well be Sullivan. This isn’t Sullivan’s first interview this offseason. He visited the Las Vegas Raiders, New York Jets and Tennessee Titans for their 2025 vacancies. He was also one of five candidates who received a second interview for the Titans’ job, which ended up going to John Spytek.
Sullivan, the son of former long-time NFL receivers coach Jerry Sullivan, has been in Green Bay since 2003, when he began working as a training camp intern. In 2022, after serving as the director of college scouting and the co-director of player personnel, Sullivan was promoted to his current role as vice president of player personnel.
This is the final general manager opening left in the NFL. If Sullivan is going to get a general manager opportunity, it’s got to be this one. If not, he’ll be returning to the Packers in 2025.
