OK, so it is still early and things can change but of the three teams that Dodds interviewed for - it appears that the Chargers are his best opportunity.
Carolina has started to request second interviews - that list includes Dan Morgan, Brandon Brown and Alec Halaby. This may be an incomplete list or Carolina may decide to add more names, but it looks like the Panthers might go a different direction than Dodds.
Las Vegas still has interim GM Champ Kelly keeping the seat warm. And apparently Kelly was involved with all the head coach interviews where the Raiders ultimately decided to remove the interim title and stay with Antonio Pierce as head coach. So it looks like it is Kelly's job to lose there.
Regarding the Chargers, there is reporting that they are the frontrunner for Jim Harbaugh. If Harbaugh decides to leave the college ranks and join a NFL team, I am sure that the team hiring him will ask him his thoughts about the GM position. And considering Harbaugh was linked with Dodds during last year's hiring cycle, it will probably happen again this year.
