Is Scott Fitterer a candidate for Eagles' GM vacancy? The Eagles haven't even contacted the Seahawks about him. http://t.co/6DxJQAWTiE

On Saturday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Scott Fitterer, the Seattle Seahawks' director of college scouting, was expected to interview this week for the Eagles' vacant personnel job. This morning, Comcast SportsNet's Reuben Frank disagreed.

Frank reported Tuesday that he spoke with two league sources about the team's interest in Fitterer, and both sources said that the 41-year-old longtime member of the Seahawks "has not been contacted by the Eagles" as of Tuesday.

Fitterer has been the Seahawks' director of college scouting since 2010. He was an area scout for the team before he was promoted to his current post.

While the team still could contact Fitterer about a potential interview for the job, Frank said that both of the sources he spoke with indicated it didn't seem likely.

#Eagles can't interview Scott Fitterer, if they so desire, until the Seahawks' season is over. Not sure how much interest is there.

The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane responded to Frank's report, pointing out that the Eagles aren't able to contact Fitterer for an interview until the Seahawks' season is over. Seattle hosts the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship game this Sunday afternoon.
