Report: Cardinals negotiating with Keim for GM spot

Jan 8, 2013, 3:04 PM | Updated: 6:44 pm

Lost somewhat in the shuffle of the Arizona Cardinals’ search for a head coach is the fact that the team is also looking for a general manager.

Rod Graves, who had been with the organization since 1997, was fired the same day as former head coach Ken Whisenhunt.

Last week, the team met with Morocco Brown, the director of player personnel for the Washington Redskins about the post, but other than that, the rumor mill has been pretty stagnant.

Tuesday morning, Albert Breer of NFL Network reported that the Cardinals appear to be zeroing in on an in-house candidate.

Keim, Arizona’s vice president of player personnel, has been with the organization since 1999 and, as Breer mentions, is a candidate for other general manager openings around the league. In fact, Breer reported Monday that Keim, along with Atlanta Falcons director of player personnel David Caldwell were the favorites for Jacksonville’s GM job.
