Marty Hurney has had his name connected to a couple of places, most notably Washington, where Rivera will have substantial input in the next general manager hire following the draft.

Tepper publicly stated that Hurney would stay in his place as the general manager of the Panthers — though the team will hire an assistant general manager/vice president of football operations in the near future. All indications from within the organization are that the plan in place will not change, including the fact that Hurney has continued some contract discussions with free agents James Bradberry and Tre Boston.

“I couldn’t have more respect for Marty. I think the team would be smart to keep him in some capacity around here,” said Olsen. “I think his track record and his understanding of relationships and his understanding of drafting, and young players, I think is really strong. I think he’s a huge asset to the organization.”

Hurney will likely address the media at some point in the next week, per NFL rules.

He's leading the coaching Hire along with Tepper. Once the head coach is found, the three of them will work together to hire the assistant gm/vp.  Hurney has massive control over both hiring processes.  It's not 100% his coaching decision but he's heavily involved and same thing will happen with asst gm

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
