I live like 40 minutes from Hagerstown lol wonder if anyone I know up that way might have a connection but I highly doubt it, lol.

i spent a chunk of my childhood in smithsburg and immediately thought the same thing. small world

One other shoestring connection for what it's worth...

Jim Nagy, the guy who currently runs the Senior Bowl (which the Panthers staff will be coaching in) used to work for Fitterer in Seattle's scouting department.

 

 

Boom?

The Seahawks have been great drafters but are almost comically notorious for trading out of the first round. Granted they haven’t been picking near the top a lot, but I wonder if he has had any input in those moves.

@Mr. Scot or someone else knowledgeable on the subject. My two questions reading his resume. Firstly since he was mainly college scouting for Seattle, and rhule being a college guy. How will they cover the free agent side of things? Which will be huge this off season. 
 

Second, hows his track record on contracts? Does he have much experience in that realm or will he bring in a numbers guy/negotiator do you think?

Fixed...

We have Suleiman as the contracts and cap expert

don't know off the top of my head, but Sherman and Chancellor were mid round picks at the earliest

Well, he worked with Dan Morgan for a while. So theres that. 

I legit didn’t know Morgan was in any sort of football capacity anywhere. I thought he made pizza.

That business didn't last long.

Wasn't for lack of quality though. I got to eat there once. It was phenomenal.

I hope its a good thing that we took our time and interviewed plenty of candidates until we found the right guy.

We have a contract guy already (Suleiman).

As to the pro side, we have a pro personnel guy on staff but I doubt anyone knows at this point whether he (or any other current executives not associated with Matt Rhule) might wind up replaced.
