It's widely understood that Tom Gamble is the New York Jets' No. 1 general manager prospect. Apparently, the Jets are atop Gamble's list, too.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Saturday that Gamble called off his second interview with the Jacksonville Jaguars so he could "focus on the Jets," which is pretty much all we need to know. (photo: 49ers.com)

While Jets beat writers insisted that no deal was in the works as of Saturday, Brian Bassett of SNY's TheJetsBlog.com made a rare "breaking news" appearance in reporting that Gang Green brass was already putting the finishing touches on a contract that will see Gamble replace the recently-fired Mike Tannenbaum.
