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

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
