"Breer collects the names of the hottest candidates by querying executives and scouts from all over the league. This year, he included 26 staffers, about half of whom are currently serving as assistant general managers. Newmark was not in the top tier, which Breer labels " on the doorstep " of a top spot. The Commanders have regressed significantly from 2024, and the reputations of virtually everyone associated with the club have taken a corresponding hit. That could mean he is forced to wait before getting a top job elsewhere."
"Newmark began his career working for Washington legend Bobby Beathard when the Chargers were based in San Diego. He then spent 26 seasons with the Detroit Lions, working his way up through the ranks to senior director of player personnel before Adam Peters brought him to Washington. Despite being in Detroit through some very dark years, Newmark built a reputation as a first-rate talent scout."
Lance Newmark again appears among potential future NFL general managers on a league-wide list of candidates. The list featured 26 staffers, about half serving as assistant general managers. Newmark did not make the top tier and could face a longer wait for a top job because of the Commanders' regression since 2024 and resulting reputational impact on club personnel. Newmark nearly secured a general manager opening last year and was linked to the New York Jets before that team hired another candidate. Newmark spent 26 seasons with the Detroit Lions and earned a strong reputation as a talent scout.
