To clarify, since the Saints let him out of his contract, Richard could sign to any position he's willing to do.

That said, Joe makes it sound like the DC search Is starting from scratch again.

Joe is being Joe.  This DC hire is crucial to get right. I want them all to be in agreement on who it will be.

Interviewing coordinators before you have a HC is just dumb.

I mean it’s a ‘GM’ Rhule hired. What do people expect.

I am remaining optimistic about this franchises ass backward ways and will cheer on Reich, but damn I would’ve loved a new GM.

While I think Richard would make a great DC, I’m starting to think the Richard and Manuel interviews were to satisfy the Rooney Rule so they could pounce on Fangio. Now that he’s likely headed elsewhere, I think they’ll bring in other candidates and do a more thorough search. 

Genuine possibility

Why would Fitterer need a power play? He's got the job description of a typical GM now.

UNC's explanation makes way more sense.

possible.

but even among "typical" GMs there is some variance of how much control they have over a HC's staff.  Maybe if we would have went with a young, inexperienced head coach, the GM would have been the deciding voice on the DC hire.  Whereas with Reich he might have more of the final say.

There's no evidence Fitterer wants to control Reich's staff.

They're both actually known to be very easy going guys who work well with others.

I don’t understand why Kris Richard doesn’t have a job. His resume is as strong as you can get from a statistical standpoint. 

I don’t know anything about him other than his defenses have been stellar everywhere he goes but yet he continues to bounce around. 

Saints defense wasn't as good as they'd hoped last season.

Valid point. Was wondering the same thing. He was a DC for 2 years in Seattle but mostly a defensive assistant or DB coach since until his gig with Saints.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
