Jonathan Jones: Caserio was first choice, and Tepper was prepared to pay him a lot of money

On local radio here in Raleigh, Jones just said Tepper was prepared to hire Caserio and "pay him a lot of money," before the Texans and Easterby did the same thing.  Also, inferred that Dodds withdrawing from consideration for the GM position has to do with Rhule being "the guy," here, so if a guy is looking to be an autonomous GM, Carolina isn't going to be a fit.

I don’t like seeing or hearing that at all. If Rhule wants to be the Gm, just come out and take both the jobs. If he wants nothing to do other than coaching the team then let’s get a Gm that has full control of managing the team. 

There’s an ocean of space between those two options. We’re going to be somewhere in the middle—there will be a GM but Rhule will have the loudest voice in the organization. That’s worked plenty of times, it’s not necessarily a problem.

I believe it. 
 

Tepper and Rhule made the decision to partner with each other during their first meeting. 

It’s been a week and a bit of interviews daily. You had to figure they had a guy picked. 

Hopefully Tepper didn’t blow a gasket and say something out of anger to Caserio after finding out the news. We’re going to need Caserio to send us Watson

Sounds like Chip Kelly. I’m pretty sure that was the reason the 49ers got rid of Harbaugh. I don’t like it one bit. Having two guys with high egos butting heads. It’ll happen sooner than later. A Gm should not have to answer to the head coach. It’s the other way around. That’s why I wanted Tepper to fire Hurney after 2019 so we could have a Gm to pick his own coach. Tepper doesn’t have a clue what he is doing. 

It also sounds like Kyle Shanahan and Pete Carroll. There’s more than one way to divide the work and authority between a coach and a GM.

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
