Dolphins and Buccaneers request permission to interview Lake Dawson

Lake Dawson has been a hot name in GM searches over the last couple of years. He is drawing interest again this year.

Neither of these guys are Lake Dawson, but one of them is Andre Dawson. There are no pictures of Lake in the editor.

Lake Dawson is getting looks from teams around the league. I honestly don't know much about Dawson, but here is a list of his responsibilities from the team site (edit mine):

A highly-respected talent evaluator, Dawson assists head coach Mike Munchak and the general manager with the team’s daily roster moves and all transactions via free agency and the annual NFL Draft. He also scouts all levels of professional football, including the NFL, CFL and Arena Football League. In addition to his various football operations responsibilities, he assists with contract negotiations. This past May, he participated in the NFL’s Career Development Symposium at the Wharton School of Business in Philadelphia.

Dawson has been with the team since 2007. He was promoted to vice president of player personnel last year after he interview with the St. Louis Rams for their GM job.
