Seattle Seahawks co-director of player personnel Trent Kirchner has emerged as the favorite to be the assistant general manager for the Carolina Panthers, a league source told ESPN.com. Kirchner was a pro scout for the Panthers from 2002-10 under general manager Marty Hurney, so working side by side with Hurney makes sense. That this position will focus on the pro side, Kirchner's specialty, also makes sense since Hurney's focus will be on the college side.

The Seahawks have demonstrated the best model of consistently winning in the NFC. Surely the guy has learned something there.

Meh, Russell Wilson's greatness obscures how poorly they've done in free agency and the draft since 2013. 

A lot of the executives who were responsible for drafting all their great talent during their Super Bowl run are long gone now (such as Scot McCloughan).

They don't have a good roster outside of QB1, and haven't in years.

The way Tepper was talking about Marty eating 100 meatballs and mimicking his voice like a gremlin I don't see how he has so much respect for him but hey I dunno

I mean we all pick on our buddies, sometimes in public. Tepper’s tone sounded like good natured ribbing. I wouldn’t be surprised if Tepper’s fit looking younger wife stayed on him about watching what he eats cause we all get a little thicker around the middle as we age. If Hurney is sitting there scarfing meatballs nonstop, he’s more likely to notice and give him a little ribbing about it.

Unfortunately for us, I think this implies he’s pretty comfortable with Hurney.

    • This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.
    • Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
