You don’t lose picks for hiring minorities right? 

[Reebis21]

Wait so would we lose picks or wouldn’t we? I too thought they were comp picks

[Mr. Scot]

No, we wouldn't lose picks that I know of.

They are comp picks from the league not the team that hires them. They are incentivising clubs to hire and have minority executives not punishing teams for signing them......lol

Thanks also looking into it KAM wouldnt get Cleveland 2 3rd rounders anyway. He only started with them this year. Have to be with a team for 2 years.

This is the first time I hear that a team gets comp picks for losing front office member. Huh, smarter every day.

Here's the full text of Breer's thoughts on the Panthers GM search from this morning.

MMQB - 1/11

I wouldn’t be shocked if the Panthers make more than one hire in the coming weeks. The GM search, as I see it, could go one of two ways. Either they’ll make a move on a Matt Rhule-connected scouting type like New Orleans’s Jeff Ireland or San Francisco’s Adam Peters (I’m told John Elway put in a strong word for Peters with Carolina owner David Tepper), or they’ll go the analytics-centered route and hire Cleveland’s Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. If they choose the latter path, don’t be shocked if an assistant GM-type of hire follows. One name to watch would be Chiefs assistant director of player personnel Ryan Poles—he interviewed for the Panthers GM job, and it’s not far-fetched to think that Carolina could pair him and director of player personnel Pat Stewart with Adofo-Mensah. Regardless of which path is chosen, this much is clear: Tepper wants diversity of skill set in his new, more modern personnel operation. It’ll be interesting to see what that all looks like six months from now.

Well, I'll be.

The Panthers lost Hurney...maybe the NFL will give them comp picks... I will take a first and a second please.

I believe its only for minority candidates not just any candidate.

I'd be okay with getting a first round pick as compensation for losing Marty.

Second round pick, though? If it's connected to Hurney, we'd probably blow it.

So according to Albert Breer, Adam Peters got an endorsement from his old boss.

John Elway is said to have called David Tepper to put in a "strong word" for Peters.

Might help explain why Elway didn't seek an interview with Peters himself. He's hoping to help him get the Panthers GM gig.

That makes me think he might know that Peters wants the job.

Elway's endorsement doesn't exactly give me the warm fuzzy feeling, just saying.

Everyone endorses him. I get the snarky Elway reaction but really?
