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

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
