Couple other things from a quick scan of the staff page...

Morgan is now listed as President of Football Operations. I don't recall seeing that particular title on him before. Ifit was there, I missed it.

Jared Kirksey - a former Jags and Bucs scout hired a few years back - now has Cole Spencer's old Director of College Scouting title.

Former safety Juston Burris is now listed as one of the team's Pro Scouts along with Adam Maxie, the son of one of the original Panthers safeties (Brett Maxie).

Maxie isn't the only one on staff with "dad" connections. Mike Trgovac's daughter Jordan is now our Mid-Atlantic area scout. She's working alongside West area scout Caden McCloughan, the son of former Redskins GM Scot McCloughan (the guy who basically drank himself out of a job).

Been a while since I've looked at this page. Definitely been some changes, and it won't surprise me if there are more.

Odd they aren't even replacing them.  They must have really felt they were doing nothing around there.

I take "absorbed internally" to mean basically that someone already on board will take over their duties. I suppose technically that could make it sound like they were redundant.

I'll grant it could also mean someone will be promoted but that's not how I took it.

Yeah, but I also factor in we got a rich owner.  If I were the guy in charge of hiring, I wouldn't mind spending Tepper's money if I felt we needed it at all.  Makes me feel they weren't doing much.

I don't see why we can't find a rockstar replacement, though.

If they felt like it was a "too many cooks" situation, bringing in somebody new would defeat the purpose.

Morgan's title certainly makes it sound like he's the man now as far as football decisions go. It's been said that Morgan is an old school "watch film" scout where Fitterer had embraced a more analytics style approach. That could mean things are being reshaped to fit what Morgan prefers (not to say analytics will be abandoned, mind you).

And of course, there's the addition of Tilis. Hard not to imagine he's had a voice in all this. Especially true given he's the second most powerful name on the org chart.

Between the two of them, Morgan and Tilis are certainly acquainted with some "rock stars" or potential rock stars in the scouting world. Still, If they feel they have the people necessary to do the job right now, that's good.

I think it's good to have both.  They can work off each other.

Extremely difficult (damn near impossible) to do a complete front office overhaul in a single offseason.

On top of that though - and perhaps more important - you don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Not everybody sucks.

(mind you, I do think this last move successfully rid us of one who did)

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
