Panthers announce changes to scouting department

This seems like the equivalent of getting veteran free agent players who take a big discount because they want to come here and play with us.  (Though maybe I shouldn't mention that in the same week that we just cut Brandon Boykin!).  A former Assistant GM and a former Director of College Scouting/Director of Player Personnel now both accepting lower(?) positions as regional scouts?!

Am I understanding the seniority of these positions correctly?

More #Gettlemagic?!

If I read that right, we now have an Assistant Director of College Scouting but no Director.

Wonder if another hire is coming.

I'm sure they are perusing the Huddle feverishly to decide on the next Director. We have several resident know-it-alls that could slide in to place immediately.

At the moment my people and their people are "very" far apart on a compensation package. But we both are going in the right direction and I feel like a deal could get done soon.

I found some old videos of these guys speaking at the combine, Stokes as the player personnel guy for the Bucs in 2014, and Patten as the personnel guy for the 49ers in 2012. both spoke a bit about their philosophy, and I can at least get a sense of how they fit. both spoke of using the combine to get to know players beyond their tape. Patten repeatedly mentioned "value" in terms of draft picks so he'll fit in with Gettleman on that front. interesting that Stokes was let go from Miami. wonder how that was shaking out. it was a big promotion for him, and now he's a regional scout again. and now I'm thinking I've put enough energy into relatively minor football news for the day.

You could take one more ounce of energy and link what you found.

    • Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.
    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
