Report: Panthers may not be done adding to front office after Dan Morgan promotion

Monday’s promotion of new GM Dan Morgan may not be the only adjustment the Panthers make atop their front office.

Just because they’ve locked in on their new general manager, it doesn’t mean the Carolina Panthers are done making big moves behind the scenes.

On Monday, the team announced the promotion of Dan Morgan to the president of football operations and general manager positions. The former Panthers linebacker, who is now also the former Panthers assistant general manager, now takes the reins atop the front office after three years as the No. 2.

But according to CBS lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones, owner David Tepper may be looking to partner Morgan up with a numbers guy. Jones writes:

It’s possible Tepper isn’t done adding to his front office, sources say. Tepper had a healthy mix of GM candidates in this search with football backgrounds or cap/analytics backgrounds. Back in 2021 before hiring Fitterer, Tepper flirted with the idea of splitting the GM position in two: A CFO of football and a COO of football, according to sources.

With Morgan taking the controls as the primary football executive, his secondary football executive position is now vacant in Carolina.

Some, including Joe Person of The Athletic and Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, have suggested it may be Kansas City Chiefs vice president of football operations Brandt Tilis that is ultimately hired to run the business side.

Tilis was one of eight general manager candidates the Panthers officially announced an interview request for back on Jan. 8. He reportedly interviewed with the organization on Jan. 15.

Jones also noted that Philadelphia Eagles assistant general manager Alec Halaby and New York Giants assistant general manager Brandon Brown were finalists for the job.

Report: Dan Morgan, 2 others among those still in mix for Panthers’ GM job

Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Panthers had second interviews with multiple GM candidates this past week.

The curtain that the Carolina Panthers are keeping their general manager search behind may have opened just a bit on Saturday.

According to NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero, at least three candidates remain in the mix for the opening.

That bunch includes New York Giants assistant general manager Brandon Brown and Philadelphia Eagles assistant general manager Alec Halaby, both of whom reportedly received second interviews this past week. Pelissero also notes that Carolina’s own assistant general manager, Dan Morgan, also remains under consideration.

Compared to their hunt for a new head coach, the Panthers have kept this quest under wraps. Outside of announcing their interview requests back on Jan. 8, the team has not provided many updates throughout the process.

Other known candidates for the position include vice president of football administration Samir Suleiman, Baltimore Ravens vice president of football administration Nick Matteo, Detroit Lions chief operating officer Mike Disner, Indianapolis Colts assistant general manager Ed Dodds, Kansas City Chiefs vice president of football operations Brandt Tilis, Las Vegas Raiders interim general manager Champ Kelly, New Orleans Saints assistant general manager Khai Harley and Tampa Bay Buccaneers assistant general manager Mike Greenberg.

Report: Panthers have ‘quietly entered’ 2nd round of GM interviews

Per CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones, the Panthers have quietly entered their second round of GM interviews.

The Carolina Panthers are keeping their search for a new general manager on the down low.

According to CBS Sports lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones, the organization has “quietly entered” the second round of interviews for the vacancy.

Like their head-coaching hunt, the Panthers officially announced interview requests for their group of candidates back on Jan. 8. But unlike their head-coaching hunt, the team has not provided many updates throughout the process.

Based on numerous reports, the Panthers had interviews set up for at least seven of the 11 known candidates—assistant general manager Dan Morgan, vice president of football administration Samir Suleiman, Baltimore Ravens vice president of football administration Nick Matteo, Indianapolis Colts assistant general manager Ed Dodds, Kansas City Chiefs vice president of football operations Brandt Tilis, Las Vegas Raiders interim general manager Champ Kelly and Philadelphia Eagles assistant general manager Alec Halaby.

Jones also notes that Morgan went into the search as “strong candidate” for the role.

Report: David Tepper could model new GM, HC hires after Eagles

A new report from PFN’s Adam Caplan suggests Panthers owner David Tepper is “enamored” with how the Eagles operate.

Could Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper be looking to model his newest regime after the defending NFC champions?

A report from Pro Football Network insider Adam Caplan suggests that when the Panthers settle into their new hires at head coach and general manager, they could be looking quite a bit like the Philadelphia Eagles.

Caplan writes: “Panthers chairman David Tepper is said to be ‘very impressed’ and ‘enamored’ with the way the Eagles run their football operations and has an awareness of the way things are done there, a league source said.”

Well, this isn’t exactly the best time to be “enamored” with how the Eagles run their ship, one that just sank following an embarrassing 32-9 wild-card round loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That ship, additionally, sailed into Monday night with quite a few holes, as Philadelphia closed out the regular season losing five of their final six games.

Nonetheless, the potential seeds have been planted by the Panthers.

The team has reportedly completed an interview with Eagles assistant general manager Alec Halaby. It also is expected to speak with Philadelphia offensive coordinator Brian Johnson about its head coaching vacancy.

Panthers reportedly complete 2 GM interviews

The Panthers reportedly completed interviews for their general manager job with Las Vegas’ Champ Kelly and Philadelphia’s Alec Halaby.

The Carolina Panthers have reportedly wrapped up a pair of talks for their general manager opening.

According to Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Las Vegas Raiders interim general manager Champ Kelly has completed his interview with the Panthers. Bonsignore noted that the chat took place on Thursday.

Kelly finished the 2023 season leading the Raiders’ front office after owner Mark Davis dismissed general manager David Ziegler on Nov. 1. He began serving as the organization’s assistant general manager in 2022.

The Campbellton, Fla. native started his behind-the-scenes career in the NFL as a college scout for the Denver Broncos in 2007. He’d then spend the next 15 seasons between Denver and the Chicago Bears—picking up roles in their scouting and player personnel departments.

Joining Kelly on the checklist was Philadelphia Eagles assistant general manager Alec Halaby. Halaby’s interview, per Joe Person of The Athletic, went down on Friday.

Halaby and Kelly are two of 11 known candidates for the job.

Panthers confirm interview requests for 8 GM candidates

The Panthers confirmed interview requests for eight GM candidates on Monday.

Hmmm . . . it’s almost as if the Carolina Panthers knew they weren’t moving forward with Scott Fitterer.

On Monday, not even 12 hours after announcing his firing, the team confirmed their interview requests for eight general manager candidates.

The list is as follows:

  • New York Giants assistant general manager Brandon Brown
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers assistant general manager Mike Greenberg
  • Kansas City Chiefs vice president of football operations Brandt Tilis
  • Philadelphia Eagles assistant general manager Alec Halaby
  • New Orleans Saints assistant general manager Khai Harley
  • Baltimore Ravens vice president of football administration Nick Matteo

  • Las Vegas Raiders interim general manager Champ Kelly

Just as in their head-coaching hunt, where they’ve also confirmed interview requests for nine candidates, the Panthers are not permitted to hold in-person interviews for the position until Jan. 22.

This will be the first time the organization is set to hire both a new general manager and a new head coach in the same offseason since 2002.

Panthers have requested to interview Eagles assistant GM Alec Halaby

Carolina Panthers have requested to interview Philadelphia Eagles assistant GM Alec Halaby for General Manager job

The Eagles have one of the NFL’s most innovative and analytical front offices, and teams follow that blueprint.

After losing Ian Cunningham to the Bears, Brandon Brown to the Giants, Catherine Raiche to the Browns, and Andy Weidl to the Steelers, Philadelphia could lose Alec Halaby.

After cleaning the house, Carolina has requested an interview with Eagles assistant GM Alec Halaby for their vacant GM position, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported.

Halaby was promoted to Eagles assistant general manager in 2022 after spending six seasons as the team’s vice president of football operations.

Roseman restructured the front office after losing so many understudies.

In the Eagles’ current setup, Halaby shares the assistant GM title with former VP of football operations and compliance Jon Ferrari.

An analytical genius, Halaby is versatile and has quickly climbed the ranks in Philadelphia.

Panthers reportedly request interview with Eagles assistant GM Alec Halaby

Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Panthers have requested to speak with Eagles assistant GM Alec Halaby.

The Carolina Panthers have gone to work on Black Monday.

After parting ways with general manager Scott Fitterer, the team not only signed 14 players to new deals this afternoon, but they also reportedly started on interview requests.

They began their search for their front office’s new shot-caller with a trio of names. As reported by league insiders Peter Schrager and Tom Pelissero, the feelers have been sent out for Tampa Bay Buccaneers assistant general manager Mike Greenberg, New York Giants assistant general manager Brandon Brown and Kansas City Chiefs vice president of football operations Brandt Tilis.

A fourth name would then emerge, courtesy of NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Rapoport tweeted that the Panthers have requested to speak with Philadelphia Eagles assistant general manager Alec Halaby.

Halaby has been with the Eagles for the last 16 seasons. Before being named to his current post in 2022, the Harvard University graduate spent six years as the team’s vice president of football operations and strategy.

His emphasis on analytics, which helped build an NFC championship roster last season, may be valued by Panthers owner David Tepper.
