Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Hickey accepted the job this morning after multiple people turned down the offer. It is known that New England exec Nick Caserio turned down the job on Saturday. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the Titans Lake Dawson also turned down the job. ... Whatever the case, Hickey succeeds Jeff Ireland, who mutually agreed with the team to leave after serving as GM since 2008. Interestingly, Hickey gets this shot despite not interviewing with Tampa Bay, the team he's worked for 18 years, when that team looked for a GM this offseason. Hickey worked 18 seasons with the Buccaneers, three as the director of player personnel. Hickey has helped lead the Buccaneers to four division titles and one Super Bowl championship during his tenure.
