There is a fourth known candidate interviewing for the Detroit Lions' vacant general manager position.

New York Giants assistant general manager Kevin Abrams will speak with the Lions about the gig that opened up on Nov. 5 when Martin Mayhew was fired, according to Jason LaCanfora of CBS Sports.

Giants exec Kevin Abrams will interview for Lions GM vacancy. Very sharp cookie. Ernie Accorsi, who is consulting for DET, knows him well — Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 6, 2016

When asked specifically about Abrams on Sunday, Lions team president Rod Wood declined comment.

Abrams has been the Giants’ assistant general manager for 14 seasons, and he has a ton of familiarity with the Lions' consultant for the search, Ernie Accorsi. Accorsi hired Abrams in 1999 as the Giants' salary cap analyst, a job he held for three seasons before being promoted to assistant GM, first under Accorsi and then under current Giants GM Jerry Reese.

Prior to his time with the Giants, Abrams worked for the NFL Management Council, monitoring the salary cap throughout the league and checking player contracts to make sure they were compliant with the CBA.

A Toronto native, Abrams went to the University of Western Ontario as an undergraduate, and the University of Ohio for his master’s degree in sports administration.

He joins Seattle’s Trent Kirchner, New England’s Bob Quinn and Lions interim GM Sheldon White as known candidates for the position. The Lions also inquired about Dallas’ Will McClay and Cincinnati’s Duke Tobin, but those requests were declined.
