Per source, MIN asst GM George Paton is flying to Denver for in-person interview w/team.
Also, Terry Fontenot, who can't do in-person interview because his Saints in playoffs, will have virtual interview w/team. 2nd interview for both. #9sports
Both have strong interest from other teams. Paton is a leading candidate for the Detroit Lions open position and Fontenot is at the top of the list for the Atlanta Falcons job.
Denver has scheduled no other rounds of interviews, so it would seem these two are at the top of the list. Another guy to keep an eye on his Champ Kelly from the Chicago Bears. He is the least experienced of the three, but could end up moving into a role as Assistant General Manager in Denver if one of the other two are hired.
