Mr. Scot

Happened under Rhule... I kinda put Drummond in the same category I did Hurney. Mind you, not in the sense that he was bad at his job (most people said otherwise) but more that while he wasn't really a scout or a personnel guy, he "made himself essential" to David Tepper after he'd bought the team. Said before, my guess is he won't be replaced.

In the NFL, adding a new title is a common tactic to get someone a raise and/or retain them if other teams are trying to lure them away.

From the article... But it seems to me, from reading the tea leaves, that Drummond knew he was never going to become the Panthers’ team president after Coleman’s promotion. And, since a team presidency wasn’t in the cards and Drummond is ambitious, it was probably time to think about other options. It’s been obvious that Drummond wasn’t as integral a part of the organization as he had been over the past few months. Although Drummond was on the search committee that hired Matt Rhule as head coach, he wasn’t a part of the one that hired Frank Reich in January, and hadn’t been spotted at high-profile Panther events this offseason, as he normally would be. Fowler seems kinda pissed about it

Tepper gave Fitterer free reign to remake the front office as he saw fit. Don't know if this is related but changes are likely to be expected.

So is everybody else except Todd Bridges

He was primarily a communications guy. Spent the years before as head of that department. Richardson had a habit of putting people in positions that didn't necessarily fit their skill set. He was one of those people who think if you're good at one thing, you'll automatically be good at something else (even if there's zero correlation between those things) you.

Understood. And good work...

Honestly, if I had to guess I'd say nobody. Despite his title, he wasn't really a football guy.

High level officials resigning from Tepper's organizations has been kind of a theme.

There were some accusations thrown at Tepper over Wilks, which likely is why this gets mentioned. Regarding Drummond, what's more relevant to me is he's one of the last few front office types that was here under Richardson.

Appropriate every draft season

Heard that too

I get the sense that things are moving toward a much more Fitterer / Reich centered operation. Might not be the last change we see...

In part, helping to hire Matt Rhule

It's his thing, of late; accusing everyone who disagrees with him of having multiple accounts. Wonder why he'd think that

Is he sober?

In that scenario, the Panthers are equally happy with either Young or Stroud. (and probably get Stroud)

I struggle with Mike Lombardi in particular. His takes are very hit or miss. And yeah, I've not heard of a single character issue with Stroud.

The Panthers seem to be thinking about it...
