Raiders’ Champ Kelly Poised for Power, Makes Bold Play for Jaguars GM Position

Las Vegas Raiders interim general manager Champ Kelly has emerged as a strong candidate for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ vacant general manager position. After stepping into the spotlight with the Raiders, Kelly is now making a determined push to secure a permanent top executive role in Jacksonville.

Kelly, widely respected for his front-office acumen and player evaluation skills, took on a key leadership role with the Raiders following the dismissal of former GM Dave Ziegler. Under his guidance, the team showed resilience and stability, earning praise from both players and league insiders.

With the Jaguars seeking fresh leadership in their front office, Kelly’s blend of experience and leadership qualities has positioned him as a serious contender. Sources indicate that Kelly has impressed Jaguars’ decision-makers during the interview process, presenting a clear vision for building a sustainable, winning culture in Jacksonville.

Kelly’s rise within NFL circles has been notable, transitioning from behind-the-scenes operations to a leading role with the Raiders. Now, he appears ready to cement his place as a full-time general manager, with Jacksonville potentially offering the opportunity to shape a young and promising roster led by star quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

While the Jaguars are still evaluating other candidates, Kelly’s bold claim for the position underscores his growing stature in NFL executive circles. A final decision is expected soon as Jacksonville looks to stabilize its leadership and take the next step toward playoff contention.
