"The Detroit Lions plan to pursue Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider for their GM opening, a \"blockbuster move\" in the NFL front-office world, according to a report Sunday from the NFL Network. Schneider, 49, has formed one of the league's most successful GM-head coach tandems with Pete Carroll over the last decade in Seattle. Since joining the Seahawks together in 2010, Schneider and Carroll have compiled a 111-63-1 regular-season record and are headed to the playoffs for the ninth time in 11 years. Seattle made back-to-back Super Bowl appearances in 2013 and '14, winning it in the former. Schneider's shared resume with Carroll also includes five division titles, the latest of which has come this season. The 2020 Seahawks are 11-4 entering Sunday's regular-season finale, with an outside chance at the NFC's top overall speed. Schneider's ability to acquire extra draft picks and young talent at reasonable prices via trade and free agency has made him of the league's top general managers. Last year, he acquired free safety Quandre Diggs, who was named to the Pro Bowl last month, and a seventh-round pick from the Lions for just a fifth-round pick. This season, he flipped offensive lineman B.J. Finney's bad contract and a seventh-round pick to the Bengals for defensive end Carlos Dunlap, who's been a game changer for the Seahawks' pass rush. Schneider manages all aspects of the Seahawks' roster and draft process, while working in collaboration with Carroll in the football operations department. The two have built a philosophy centered around building their team through the draft and strategic acquisitions. Before joining the Seahawks, Schneider worked with the Packers for eight seasons (2002-09), starting as a personnel analyst to the general manager before being promoted to director of football operations in 2008. He began his front-office career as an intern with Green Bay in the summer of 1992, then joined the franchise as a pro personnel assistant for four year (1993-96). Schneider spent time with the Chiefs (1997-99), Seahawks (2000) and Washington (2001) before returning to Green Bay in 2002. Though Pete Carroll agreed on an extension with the Seahawks through 2025, Schneider has just one year left on his contract. A De Pere, Wisconsin native, Schneider would have an opportunity to be closer to home with the Lions, though it's unclear how seriously he'd look at opportunities outside of Seattle.
